The property was in the perfect location for exploring the city. The air conditioning and room size were great. The man in charge is awesome as well. There are little amenities here and the stairs are daunting but otherwise it’s a great budget stay!

Staff was extremely helpful, including holding luggage after check-out until later in the day and arranging transportation to the train station. Beds were comfortable. Be prepared to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs to reception upon arrival. After hours arrival was easy to coordinate. Had three rooms for our party - one of the rooms did not have very good AC, while the other two it was fine.

Loved our stay here! The location is amazing, walking distance to EVERYTHING. The staff is so incredible, helped us get our very heavy luggage up the stairs, provided a map and spent time with us marking out all the best places to go nearby. It is also a great value for the money, I would definitely stay here again.

Great staff and location for a budget friendly hotel. The rooms are basic, small but very clean. The only negative is the long stairs leading from the street to the front desk and then from the front desk to the rooms. But the location is good and the staff is helpful and friendly

We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel. The room was clean, spacious and it seemed to be recently remodeled. We arrived earlier than check in time and were able to leave our luggages. The room is about a 10 minute walk to the duomo. The area is quiet and still has a lot of restaurants/shopping around.

Highly recommend. Very central location, very nice staff, and rooms are very modern and well maintained. If they had a laundry service it would have made it perfect. Note that there is a flight of stairs that you need to climb to get to the front desk and rooms, so if that is a problem you may want to consider something else. Otherwise don't you don't need to look further.

Hotel reception was extremely helpful carrying my luggage up and down the stairs and directing me around the city. They were also very good to reply to emails. The room was quite small but all I needed. An extra blanket in the room is the only thing I would suggest for improvement. Thank you so much for providing me a safe and comfortable place to stay.

It was clean and lovely except we were on the top floor, 65 stairs was just to much. We were aware that there would be no lift avalialable but had no idea getting to and from our room would be that extreme especially carrying luggage. We were offered help upon arrival but upon departure reception was not open yet, so we were on our own.

This is the kind of property that is listed as a “hidden gem”. It’s not on a Main Street, but is so increasingly central. The room was beautifully done and we slept like kings. The staff went the extra mile and that was really appreciated. We will definitely be staying here again!! Florence is wonderful and needs more time than we had on this trip so we’ll be back here to stay!
