Beautiful building and breakfast
I really liked the location. I had a nice view of the water. Great cafe a block away. Close enough to everything without being in the middle of a noisy area. Very kind and helpful staff. Breakfast was very good

The hotel is in a great location of sights, train station and while old in style the room was clean and a lovely balcony with a river view. Breakfast had a good selection and the staff were very helpful and attentive. It is a good base to see Florence.
