This hotel is close to the train station. It's centrally located and very easy to get to and from all the sites the city has to offer. The room was comfortable and clean and had a good size bathroom. The staff is very accommodating and they go out of their way to make sure the needs of their guests are taken care of. Unfortunately, I tripped and fell on the street during my stay and bruised my ribs. The receptionist offered to haul my very big and heavy suitcase to the train station for me. The train station was too close to call a taxi but far enough to be a very painful walk, even with a suitcase with wheels. Needless to say, I was very grateful. I would stay there again.

Elby, the hotel concierge, was so warm and gracious, along with a fun sense of humour! He had the biggest smile and was most helpful with directions and suggestions. His greetings made the hotel very welcoming. The hotel is conveniently located near the train station, as well as to all the touristy sites. The room was cozy and clean. Also the breakfast was delicious! We definitely would recommend this hotel to our family and friends:)

The hotel has a very traditional decor feel. The room was a little bit tight however it was clean. Front desk staff were nice. The breakfast buffet was great, the staff working there were really friendly and the cappuccinos were delicious!
The hotel is near the train station which is a bonus and there are several restaurants near by.

We checked into the hotel and dropped our bags off into the room. Be careful dragging your bags up the stairs into the lobby as it can be a bit of a challenge. We went about our business for the day after dropping our bags off in the room. First impression of the room was very small but livable as we were going to be there for only 2 nights. We then went out for the day, exploring Florence until about 8:15 PM when we returned to our room with some bottles of water to put in the mini fridge. Upon returning to our room we noticed an ammonia smell we entered which was not noticed when we originally dropped off our bags. I found the mini fridge and opened it to put our water bottles inside and was hit in the face with strong ammonia coming from the fridge and also the fridge was hot inside.
Apparently the mini fridge unit was broken and the ammonia gas used for the refrigerant was leaking out of it, filling the room with toxic ammonia gas.
We immediately went down to the front desk to advise them of the problem and let them know that the room was not inhabitable and was met with very little concern, questioning the problem.
The hotel manager on site came to the room and admitted to acknowledge the problem at hand, then tried to convince us to stay in the room, that opening the windows, (80F outside), would make it fine to sleep in that evening.
Long story short, we ended up getting another hotel at 9:15PM. Stay far away from this property.

Very nice Hotel and breakfast. Staff excellent.
Only downside as a solo traveller was being allocated a room on the corner of the road which was very noisy during the night. Website claimed ‘soundproof’ rooms but that was not the case, you could clearly hear guests in surrounding rooms.

The staff are very nice. They made me feel like home. I have to thank especially the following 3 staff members, Elvis, Nafisa and Abby. They are great, very joyful, helpful and considerate. They talked with us in a very friendly way and gave us very useful advice and sunflower-like smiles. These pieces of advice are not easy to find on the internet. For example, we can buy a bus ticket at the tram station. It is even cheaper to buy it this way. Abby introduced a very nice restaurant serving wonderful food. Out of our surprise, he called the restaurant to reserve a table for me and my husband which turned out we had a special discount. From time to time, they asked if we had any need. All these are more than their duties. I like these guys very very much and so do the hotel. It has developed a wonderful team spirit.

Stayed here for 4 nights. The staff were all welcoming and super friendly. I didn’t ever feel like burden and they helped when I needed ideas of where to eat or how to get somewhere. The location is great because it nice and close to the train station and meet up points for a lot of tours. It’s also very close to lots of shopping.

The hotel is close to most attractions and so close to the train station. It's a very inexpensive hotel; with restaurants close by so even if you arrive at midnight, there's a place where you can eat at.

This hotel is in a great location, walkable to everything you want to do. There is a laundromat just one block away as well as a grocery store. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable. The real star here is the staff. The front desk staff, especially Elby, was always there to help with anything you need. There is luggage storage right in the lobby if you need to leave a little later. I will stay at this hotel again!

Really conveniently located close to the train station and easy to walk to many of the sightseeing sites. Front desk service was amazing. The quadruple room accommodated our family very well.
24hrs service at the front desk which helps if you are checking in late. I would highly recommend this place.

This was the perfect place for us! It was right next to the train station when we arrived and also next to the airport tram. We walked Florence and this location made it easy. The staff was so helpful with local recommendations and a map of Florence. Super friendly and breakfast was good too. Would definitely stay here again.

The location was so convenient to the train station but because of that, there were a lot of sketchy people right outside of the hotel.
The street noise was also very loud at night so had to use a noise maker to drown it out.
Otherwise, the property was clean, the room was nice but a bit small and the breakfast was perfect. We felt safe here.
