    The hotel is truly on an amazing location, but I would say this is one of the very few pluses. The rooms in the hotel are much smaller from what they appear on the pictures and the whole place in general is small and cramped. Our room was right next to the check in area and the eating area so in the morning we were could hear loudly people talking, eating and etc. The staff are living at the hotel and one of the housekeeper's baby can be hear crying very often. When it comes to how clean the room was, we were not impresses. There were stains on the towels and weird odor in the bedding. To sum up, if you cant be bothered with details such as small room or a little noise in return for perfect location, then maybe this place is for you.

    Terrible hotel, rooms and service. Is not worth the money asked. Super loud, you can hear everything happening in the hall, the room was going to the kitchen and laundry side in the yard, that also caused much noise. The room is super dark, curtains are falling from the window, super old furniture and bathroom. There war only one socket for the whole room. In the bathroom there were neither any hook for towels, nor any glass for toothpaste, shampoo etc. One light near the bed was not working, so it was either very bright oder dark. Summing up: Never again.

    Stayed here for 2 nights in Winter. For what you pay, it's pretty decent. Location is good - about a 10min walk to Santa Maria Novella station and it was 15 minutes to places like the Ponte Vecchio. Staff were friendly, especially the housekeeper. However, I stayed in a single bed which was not the most comfortable - I think if I stayed any longer my back would have ached a bit, so I'd recommend this if you're on a budget and only having a short stay in Florence. Breakfast was not great, but it was nice to not have to go and buy it. The cornettos provided were not great or fresh - I believe they may have been the store bought packaged ones but I'm not sure. Breakfast did not have options, but it was still kind of nice as the housekeeper made fresh coffee which was much appreciated (however, I would recommend just getting breakfast at a cafe or something like that yourself. When in Italy, you may as well treat yourself to fresh homemade cornettos). As other reviews say, sound travels REALLY easily through the walls. That was probably the biggest downfall of the place, as I could hear people in the room next door talking and sometimes it was annoying as I was trying to get to bed. Rooms were heated, but only during the evening. Thankfully the weather was not too cold when I was there, otherwise that may have been an issue. Overall, my stay was pleasant there thanks to the lovely staff. I appreciate their efforts and their service. It was not bad for what was paid, and suitable for a very short stay.

    The room we stayed was big, very clean and had a really high ceiling. That was what I really liked. The italian breakfast was delicious and we could have it in our room, that was also really great. We arrived pretty late so there was an old stuff member with no english but all went smooth. I would stay there again. On our way back we had to wait for our train and we wanted to wait inside the hotel in waiting room but interestingly we were not welcomed there anymore. Just for your information.

    Good location, warming stuff and tasty breakfast in the morning. The blankets were dirty though, as well as the pillows. My girlfriend and I will unlikely go back.

    Good hotel, simple, good localization. Has prived rooms with prived bathroom. Breakfast included, nice staff but they don't speak English, just Spanish and Italian, they made us leave before check out time, and because they couldn't understand us, we couldn't say no.

    The best thing about this hotel is it s location. Cleaning could be better! It also has problem with the soundproofing and hot water flow in the shower!

    Do not go there! Sometimes is better to pay a little more for your confort and peace. We had a really bad experience in this place! Very disappointed. The lady in the reception is not professional.

    My stay in Florence was heightened by my amazing experience with this hotel. The manager was super nice and super accommodating. The room and washroom was clean and staff came to tidy up and restock every day. The manager was great fun to talk to and even gave me recommendation plans for travelling Florence. Very easy and restful stay. Highly recommend!

    Doesn't worth the money at all. Way too expensive for what you get! I had no hot water to shower, room was disgustingly warm and humid, there was hair on the pillows and hair in the shower... It's very well located, but... that's the only plus. It's also super loud. Walls are made of cardboard, I could here people flushing there toilet, hearing people's conversations, and even a couple having intercourse. Very disappointing.
