Amazing location, wonderful staff, cute hotel. No major amenities seen with large chains but they are not necessary in Florence with so much to see and do. I will definitely stay here again.

Nice small hotel with great location

Nice hotel in a great location in Florence. Very close to a small grocery store as well as many cafes and restaurants. We were able to walk from here to every site we wanted to see in the city. Also less than 10 Minute walk to the train station.

Handy hotel in Florence

We received a warm welcome from Milad a who was super helpful with recommending places to eat and things to do in Florence.All the other staff were very friendly too The location is perfect for the train station and is walkable for sightseeing. There is a handy supermarket over the road. The rooms are basic but clean. We had everything we needed. I would stay here again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I love the location, furnishings were a little dated but everything was very clean and bed comfortable. The rooms were larger than average but kind of a weird layout. Breakfast was very good, it looks very small but has everything that you could want- fresh and canned fruit, scrambled and boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal toast lunch meat and cheese, orange juice and coffee. I highly recommend.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Wouldn’t recommend

Air conditioning doesn’t work, no one bothered to tell us. when we finally said something they offered 1 fan for a large room that didn’t do much. If you leave window open for the only possible airflow it’s so loud you can’t sleep - assuming you could in that heat. Staff was pleasant and let you leave yours bags in the lobby while waiting for check in or after check out

Fönster mot innergården som var minimal, inget ljus i rummet. Stort rum med bra standard, mycket fint badrum. Vi fick ett rum för tre så gott om plats för bagage. Perfekt rum för familj. Hissen gick inte från bottenvåningen, lång trappa att bära bagaget uppför.

Tiene buena comunicación con los clientes, fueron comprensivos con que mi tren se retrasara y con un inconveniente en mi habitación. El desayuno me parece bueno, sencillo, pero suficiente. Está en un excelente zona, la estación de trenes queda muy cerca y para llegar a los lugares turísticos, es muy fácil, casi no tuve que usar transporte. Las habitaciones son insonorizadas al parecer porque yo no tuve ningún problema con el ruido
