Lovely small hotel very close to the train station and the T2 tram from the airport. About a 10 minute walk to downtown Florence and the sights. Staff was very friendly and even held our luggage for us after check out before we could catch our train to Rome.

Staff were wonderful and breakfast was delicious with many options! Not soundproof rooms so I heard the baby crying and street cleaners, but everything else made up for it (just bring earplugs)

The location was very convenient and safe. The property was clean, quiet and the staff was very helpful and kind. The only downside was the hotel had an unappealing smell and the only window went to a balcony in the middle of the complex instead of to the street.

Amazing hotel!

Located very close to the train station, this hotel is incredibly convenient. The breakfast is delicious and the hotel has a great ambiance. I learned that the building dates back to the 1700s, which adds a unique charm. The front desk staff is excellent, and I couldn’t be happier with my stay!

Solid choice for a stay in Florence!

Great location, close to the train station and near sites. Clean and quiet (in spite of busy street and construction outside). Elevator, which is important for those with mobility issues. Friendly staff.
