Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, finding the rooms very comfortable and super clean. The bathroom could use some updating, though. The breakfast buffet was in a beautiful room. The service was incredibly professional and warm, particularly at breakfast, lunch, and the rooftop bar.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was excellent in the heart of Florence, allowing me to easily explore top attractions, the room was disappointing with no natural light and poor conditions. The service, however, was very pleasant, and the staff made my stay enjoyable. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities met basic needs.
Waking up to noisy staff activities was unpleasant, but the smaller rooms had all necessary amenities. The staff was unhelpful and disinterested throughout our stay when we needed assistance. The hotel's centrality was ideal for exploring Florence, but the dining experience was the only positive aspect, serving us well during our stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The central location was great, surrounded by local restaurants and major sights, but the room overlooking the rear lane was noisy with disturbances every night. The service was top-notch with helpful staff, though the dining experience could be improved. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.
The hotel may have some drawbacks in terms of room outlook and check-in process, but the location is excellent with easy access to local attractions and amenities. The service is attentive, and despite some dining issues, the overall experience offers good value for money.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The fantastic location near the heart of Florence was a major plus, but the noisy street-facing room affected my sleep quality. The friendly and helpful staff made my stay enjoyable, yet the dining options were not as impressive as expected.
I found the hotel to be cozy and welcoming, with some drawbacks. The rooms were too warm and attracted mosquitoes due to having to keep the windows open for air circulation. The lack of natural light and views also left something to be desired. On the positive side, the service was friendly and accommodating, making up for some shortcomings in other areas.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were small but functional, more suitable for business travelers, and suffered from street noise at night. However, the location was perfect, providing easy access to all that Florence has to offer. The dining experience was good but not exceptional, and the service was a bit lacking in warmth and efficiency despite being professional.
