Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable, but the size was a bit small and basic. On the bright side, they were clean, including the bed, bathroom, and carpet floors, and had a strong Wi-Fi connection. The service was great, especially with booking tours and taxis, but there were some difficulties due to the volume of people at the registration point. The location was convenient, close to the airport and attractive, with easy access to shops, restaurants, a coffee shop, and a bar, but it was extremely quiet on weekends with limited late-night options. The dining options were not up to par, with very limited varieties and room for improvement, although there were traditional local cakes available. Unfortunately, the breakfast experience didn't meet expectations.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were decently comfortable with good Wi-Fi, but they could use an update, and the walls were thin enough that we could hear noises from neighboring rooms. The service was a bit rude at times, but there were some helpful aspects too. The location was convenient, close to a tram station, and the dining options were average. Overall, it was an okay stay with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were very clean and quiet, which was great for a good night's sleep. The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to Florence center by public transport and offers free underground parking. However, the room size was very small and basic with two beds.
