Cet hôtel est juste parfait. La chambre (4018) est magnifique. L'insonorisation parfaite alors que vous êtes au cœur de la ville. Le personnel très bienveillant. Le petit déjeuner de qualité, avec la possibilité de le prendre dans deux endroits différents dont un rooftop exceptionnel. Rien à dire juste l'envie de revenir

Perfekte Lage in der Altstadt, quasi um die Ecke zu allen wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Dies war uns wichtig, da das Wetter sehr durchwachsen war und es auch regnete. Neues Boutique Hotel mit sehr guter Ausstattung im modernen Stil, Bad neu . Personal sehr Service orientiert. Valeria hat uns sehr gute Restaurant Empfehlungen gegeben und super schnell alle Reservierungen organisiert. Wir hatten ein Zimmer zur Innenseite (daher kein Blick), dafür aber absolut ruhig. Dies war für uns wichtig. Wir waren Mega zufrieden und würden es wieder buchen.

Qualsiasi cosa, dal arredamento moderno della reception, il bar e le camere pazzesche.
Coccolati dall’inizio alla fine.
Nulla da dire solamente stupendo, sicuramente se torneremo a Firenze sarà il nostro hotel d’appoggio.

Rooms are absolutely gorgeous. I love the center door knobs. This was our best hotel stay in italy (we stayed in 4 different ones). Unfortunately i caught the intestinal flu while we were in florence and it was horrible, i had to stay at the hotel basically the entire time. So I was grateful that at least the room was lovely. The staff were so helpful when we got there, showed us around the room and explained pretty much everything. They gave us a bunch of free waters as well. I had a good view of the duomo from my bed that i admired (in between puke sessions + it was the only thing to look at)

Localização, conforto da cama e travesseiros, gentileza da equipe, academia, café da manhã.
Quarto apesar de ter janela anti ruído dava frente para uma rua muito barulhenta. Não esperava por isso.

يوجد مبنين مختلفين متجاورين يفصلهم أمتار معدودة.
الموقع مناسب لقربه من وسط المدينة بجوار المزارات السياحية ويوجد مقاهي وسوبرماركت ومطاعم قريبة.
المسافة بعيدة نوعا ما من القطار وتحتاج مواصلات ، استخدمنا تاكسي في أقل من 10-15 دقيقة.
الفندق جميل وآمن
الطاقم ودود وخدومين
يوجد مصعد
الغرف نوعا ما صغيرة الحجم ولكنها نظيفة وتصميمها جميل
العزل ليس جيد خاصة بالليل تسمع أصوات المشاة
غرفتنا مطلة من جهتين ولا يوجد خصوصية كاملة في حالة النوافذ مفتوحة.
الإفطار بالمبنى الخاص بنا متنوع وجميل وشرفة السطح جميلة
النت جيد وسريع
There are two different buildings but located close to each other.
Slightly far from the train station and you will require transportation, we took a taxi for 10-15 minute trip.
The location is very close to the sites and city center with several nearby cafés, restaurants and markets within walking distance.
The hotel is nice and safe.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
There is an elevator.
The room was kind of small to what I expected but very clean and the design fascinating.
Not a 100% soundproof, unfortunately especially at night you can hear the late crowd.
Our room had windows on two sides with no privacy when open.
Breakfast in our building was intercontinental and acceptable especially on the roof garden.
Wifi internet connection was good.
The rooms were not soundproof and you hear the late crowd during sleep.

El hotel está muy bien puesto que es prácticamente nuevo. Hay que saber que el hotel cuenta con dos edificios; están bastante cerca pero aún así separados por dos calles. El restaurante rooftop está en el edificio principal y el edificio secundario (más nuevo) tiene gimnasio y un bar muy chulo.
Nosotros estuvimos en el edifico secundario y la ubicación es inmejorable, en el centro de Florencia. Es un hotel ideal para pasar un par de días en la ciudad. El personal de recepción fue muy amable, Leslie nos ayudó con todo y la reserva del restaurante del roof para cenar. Recomiendo el restaurante puesto que las vistas son muy bonitas y la comida muy buena.
El hotel tiene un bar pequeño al entrar. Nosotros aprovechamos para tomar unos negronis todas las tardes y el camarero fue muy simpático con nosotros. Sin duda, la alegría de las tardes!
La habitación estaba muy bien y el mini bar es gratuito el primer día. Me hubiera gustado que fuera un poco más grande puesto que no hay mucho espacio en el baño para poder dejar tus cosas. La cama es cómoda pero creo que todo se hubiera quedado pequeña para estancias más largas.

The space , the cleanness and how nice all the staff was . My flight was cancel and they’re very accommodating on making sure I could extend my stay bu two days.
Because now there’s a regulation with the heating or air conditioner, I had to keep opening the window as the air on will never actually cooled down the room

The staff were amazing and changed and upgraded our room when we encountered a problem with the air conditioning not working properly in our room. They were great. Loved the two gym rooms and breakfast had a great choice. Enjoyed the bar happy hour too which was a nice touch and the Nespresso machine in the room. Lastly, the hotel smelled amazing!!!
The wardrobe space is very limited with no space to hang long dresses for ladies. Also, the lighting in the bathroom was not conducive to getting ready and doing make up for women either as it was a bit dark and downlighting which is never flattering. Some vanity lights would be a really helpful addition. A kettle in the room would be great too for tea!

The hotel is in a great location -- right in the heart of Florence. It is decorated well and has a lot of potential to be a 5 star hotel.
Not sure where to start. We checked into our room and it was nothing like the photo on Booking.com. It was tiny and the window looked at the wall of the nearby building which was an arms length away. After pressing, they moved us to the room we had actually booked which was lovely with a high-ceiling and windows looking out to the street. During our stay we overheard several similar conversations at the front desk with clients. Confused by all the positive reviews.
The room we had was pretty, but this is not a five-star hotel. It feels like it wants to be, and it has some great aspects but it's missing some key things to claim a five-star status. The bathroom was small and water flooded the bathroom each shower, the rug in the room under the bed is disgustingly dirty and dingy, and the noise from outside was so ridiculous. The hotel is situated near a small plaza where artists enjoy singing and playing instruments until 3/4 am with partying crowds. We didn't sleep well at all during our stay due to this, unfortunately. The staff is also not very nice and has an attitude (with the exception of Daniel who was a delight and helpful).
Overall, this hotel just seems very disorganised, has poor communication, the staff is not welcoming and it is NOT a five-star hotel.

Great location, well appointed and thought out rooms! The rooftop restaurant was delicious and the view over the city is a great way to unwind with a drink after a long day sightseeing.
Nothing - it was a great stay!

Great location 2 min walk from Ponte Vecchio and basically everything. The room was a bit pricey but for the location and room quality was well worth the cost. The staff was excellent from the reception team, breakfast and bar crew. All provided truly great service. Bravo!

Location is very good!
very noisy! On the 4th floor it is constantly difficult to knock, since there is a bar on the 5th floor! You should have been warned about this in advance!

Breakfast was amazing. View from rooftop is exquisite. Excellent coffee. Great choice of food. Delicious. Nice way to start the day.
Coffee maker in room difficult to operate. Coffee available earlier before 7:30 in the dining room would have been nice.

The location and communication with hotel about parking/directions were most helpful. Room was comfortable and bathroom was large. Espresso in room was good. Truly in the heart of the city walking distance to all landmarks. Quiet room.
I booked several months in advance for my 25th anniversary. I chose the hotel based on location, rooftop patio/restaurant, and that it had a gym. When I arrived they put us in the "west" or newer building. It smelled like a sewer. Had no buffet breakfast or rooftop lounge/area. The gym smelled so bad at both the "east" and "west" buildings that I did not use it - the main reason I booked. I was very dissapointed to be put in a hotel I did not book with a view of a vented column in center of hotel versus the view of the class of room I booked. It made me so very, very sad for my special anniversary trip to end up like this.
