We absolutely loved this hotel! Walkable distance to the main sights of Florence and a beautiful location close to the train station with many restaurants just outside. The staff were amazing. They offered to store our bags prior to check in and after checkout. They even upgraded our room to one with a view overlooking the beautiful square. The included breakfast has a lot to offer, more than most of the other hotels we had stayed at during our trip. Highly recommend this hotel for your stay!

I was supposed to stay at this hotel, but 3 days before my flight, I got COVID, so I wasn't able to travel where I was supposed to attend my close friend's wedding and my birthday. Every hotel, including United Airlines, gave me a full refund. They didn't even give me a hard time, but this hotel and manager, who lacks common sense, refused to give me my money back. What am I supposed to do? Get on the airplane with COVID and get everyone sick? How come every other hotel of this trip and even my airline gave me a full refund with my proof of positive COVID test but they "can't." I would NEVER support this hotel. I contacted this hotel 1 week before I was supposed to check-in. I will do everything to get my money back from this hotel.

I have to say that this hotel really exceeded my expectations. The staff were so friendly especially the two ladies at breakfast. Breakfast was plentiful with a great variety and very tasty.
The room was exceptionally clean. The bed was a little small, but very comfortable.
Amazing stay in this hotel and central to everything. We would definitely stay here again. I have no complaints whatsoever!!!

Nice hotel, in okay location with great staff. Issue was noise, all the doors for the rooms next to us slammed and also the street noise is excessive. We were first floor city view which I would recommend future guests avoid.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay and felt welcomed, safe, comfortable and truly enjoyed our time. Great staff who was incredibly kind. Our flight out of Florence was very early so they arranged for a taxi to pick us up at 4 a.m., had a continental breakfast bag for each of us ready as we checked out. Definitely recommend.
