Perfect location so close to the train station. We chose the breakfast option and it was plentiful & delicious. Lots of great restaurants close by. We also did a day trip tour of Florence/Tuscany & our meeting place for our tour guide was at the bus station only 10 minutes walk away.
The front desk staff were awesome! We really enjoyed staying here, it was just a very short walk to everything: Tram, Train Station, Duomo, etc . Highly recommended.
Very helpful and kind reception! Thank you for the suggestions for our 1 day in Florence. The Cafe attached (for breakfast and coffee) was AMAZING - best cappuccinos in Italy! Thank you for a great stay.
Great mid-range hotel. Super convenient position for our 1 night stay - very easy & short walk from train station. Breakfast was plentiful. Front desk staff were wonderful!
The hotel is conveniently located right by the main train station and walking distance to the duomo and other attractions in Florence. Staff was fantastic and friendly. The hotel does need updating in the common areas and room, everything is on the older side, but I got to say is clean, so if you don't mind the retro look, then is a good option.
Stayed here for 2 nights and has a lovely time , main reason I booked this was it’s location to the main train station which is literally just around the corner ,
Also very close to all the main attractions
Staff are very friendly and go above and beyond to make it a enjoyable stay , will help with dinner reservations as well ,
Breakfast is served next door with a good selection of a continental style,
Rooms were nice , clean and comfortable,
Supermarket across the street and launderette just down the road
Very good value in great location to explore the city
Amazing hotel and staff. Would definitely stay here again.
The cleaning lady very helpful. The front desk staff were very helpful. The breakfast staff made sure everything was good.
My brother and I had a great one night stay here. Check in was easy, room was simple, but clean! Room even included a sound machine, which was a nice plus. Breakfast was included as well. For the price, I would definitely stay here again.
The room was clean and the staff very friendly. It’s a nice location. Rooms can be a bit tight but that was fine for us. They provided a map of the area & even the best gelato shop! Walkable from the train station but then you don’t need to go by the train station again and have an easy walk into the historic center. We did the museums, shopping, dining and never needed a taxi. The restaurant Next door was very convenient and provided a free continental breakfast and a discount for hotel guests otherwise.
Nice little hotel close to the train station. Rooms have a/c, included breakfast is limited but was tasty enough. Walking distance to all the main attractions. There is a Carrefour Express directly over the road for anything you might need, bottled water etc. Highly recommend.
The room was clean, the staff were friendly, and breakfast was good. We liked the central location. The AC, however, couldn't keep up with the heat, unfortunately
Location was perfect, walking distance to train station, restaurants, attractions. Should be noted, there is a mini fridge in the room, but the guests have to stock it. There no laundry machine at the hotel, but there is a laundry service about 5 mins walk. Lots of hot water to shower, AC works very well, nice and cool. Breakfast is included in your stay. Coffee, Danish croissants, cereal,fruits,juice,boil egg. Average rating.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Location was great right next to the train and Tram, easy walking distance to both.
This is a great location very near the train station and other public transportation that allows one to walk to most attractions with relative ease. One key feature is that they will hold luggage and are quite helpful and skilled in that regard. I would stay here again.
