My stay here was fantastic. It was a short walk from many essentials—from the train station, to markets, restaurants/cafes, and (more importantly, for those on a long trip) foolproof laundromats. The staff were kind, welcoming and very helpful. The room was clean and always well-kept. I would for sure stay here again the next time I’m in town! Highly recommend.

They have a good air condition in which some properties they don’t. Unlimited cold water is superb. iGreat staff!! We have a great time in Florence because of our accommodation! After walking in a very hot weather entering a cool room is the number one you wanted to be.

We enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations. We could hear some construction noise at the reception desk, but once we got to our room, it was quiet and far from the remodeling. Our room was very comfortable, with cold A/C and a large bathroom. The hotel is in a great location just outside the city center and a very short walk to the Santa Maria Cathedral.

The hotel controls the central air conditioning system. The thermostat in the room will NOT cool below 24 degrees. The staff tried to accommodate and increase the fan but it was difficult to sleep with 26 degrees. There is a fair amount of construction on the street around the hotel but it is close to the train station which is convenient as you can walk there.
