Arrived and the staff member on front desk was so rude, no offer of help to get our bags up the stairs and then proceeded to be rude again a couple of hours later when we were going to explore the town. Breakfast was horrible and not even worth eating there.

Nice and clean hotel. Our room had a balcony with a pretty view. Staff speaks some English and Spanish, they are all very polite and helpful. Location is okay and safe but you will need to take a taxi to train terminal or downtown to the touristic attractions ($15-20 euros) Good breakfast too. Overall recommend.

The hotel was not in bad condition and the breakfast was decent. Staff were friendly for most part. The hotel is a long walk from the city center, but a train station and bus options are nearby. The biggest problem is that they did not let me use the air conditioner. The lady at reception told me that by Florence law air conditioning cannot be used until June. I was on the third floor and there was a ceiling window I had to open to be able to sleep. Because of that mosquitoes ate me. Really concerned about catching a vector disease. My mattress was wet the day I arrived. I think the window was open and it rained. Bathroom drain smelled. There is a code to enter the property after hours and it took several tries to get in. First time it happened, I panicked thinking I was going to sleep on the street.

Overall great place but the bathroom was a wild experience with the shower turning it into a pool.
Also the aircon was pointed straight to the bed, which affected our throat.

Upon arrival there were no rooms available, overbooked. Staff mentioned that there is no internet access, hence, no Fax/ copy machine access. They aren’t aware when rooms are available or not.
Shame on Expedia that allows these type of Hotels available to people. It’s a ripe off. Charged me for the room for all those days. Expedia states that’s their policy? Conchetta, front desk drove us to another Hotel, is that their policy too? Very Disappointed!! I will never ever use Expedia again nor look at this terrible Hotel! After traveling for many hours the least you want to hear is that there is no room for you after you made the reservation.

The staff were not very welcoming. It was as if our arrival was a burden for them. There is no parking and you have to really hunt to find a parking place on the street. None of the staffed smiled. Would not stay again.

Property is old and uncomfortable, furniture ripped. We were greeted by a senoir lady laying on the lobby sofa who spoke no english.
Bed was a 6" springs mattress on a platform
NO AIR-CONDITIONING. Mid August and 90 degrees inside, my husband was drenched. LCD TV was 12" monitor. We literally forfeited our money and went to a Marriot
Would never recommend to anyone.

We are experienced travelers and we’re expecting an authentic experience when reserving this hotel. We checked in late, arriving after a long flight. The person in the front desk was very unpleasant and didn’t provide more than a one word answer. Sometimes leaving us guessing what he means. There was no language barrier. It was strange altogether.
The morning person wasn’t better.
The only good part was the nice breakfast crew.
The room was very basic. NO AIR CONDITIONER!!
The shower was a tight squeeze with the toilets close to accordion doors that were part of the shower. It was not comfortable to say the least.
I truly believe that if the front desk persons were a bit nicer the entire room/shower/no AC would have been a bit more bearable.

Upon arrival, reception person was not friendly or helpful; but all staff after him was. It is a 20-30 minute walk from tourist sites but we actually like this as we went to non-touristy restaurants for our evening meal.
