Overall, room was clean and the had an ample amount of space. Just a heads up, it's located in a building on the 2nd floor. Looks like each floor of this building has their own B&B. I'm not sure why Expedia labeled this place as a 4-stars hotel when it's more like an B&B. If a "hotel" and their amenities is what you're looking for, this is not the place. The staff is very friendly. Though there's not a 24 hours reception, there is a number that you can call in anytime. They were very helpful in guiding us about our train. Breakfast is served across the street in a cafe that's open at 6:00AM which is great. You get a voucher that list a few options. It's not a buffet style. The offerings always include a coffee, juice, & croissant with an option of omelet (fried eggs), mini sandwich or yogurt. More than enough to get your morning started! Lastly, this place is super convenient and close to everything including the train station, the market, restaurants and shopping! A+++ For location.

Good stay. Kind staff. Breakfast is across the street and includes a specialty coffee, oj or pineapple juice, and then a croissant (pistachio, Nutella, or crème) and either an omelette or mini sandwich. Solid breakfast! AC could’ve been colder. Says it was 16 Celsius but it definitely felt closer to 24 Celsius (75 Fahrenheit).

Great location close to train station. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Location is busy and loud traffic. Central AC/Heating connected to all units. So if someone is using heating in another unit, you can’t use the AC. Overall, good accomodation if you’re staying in Florence for a day/night.

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The housekeeping team did an excellent job, and everything was kept very clean throughout my stay. Whenever I needed something, it was provided quickly, and the cleaners were always smiling and polite. However, the room was much smaller than I expected. There was only a small area to hang clothes, but no additional wardrobe or storage space for luggage and personal belongings. The hotel was also very noisy. There was a lot of noise and disturbance starting early in the morning, so it is definitely not a quiet place to stay. On the positive side, the receptionist, Anna, was exceptional. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and assisted me with everything I needed during my stay. The location is fantastic — very central and convenient. Everything is within walking distance, and you have easy access to all the main attractions, shops, and restaurants.
