    convenient location
    friendly staff
    cramped dining

    Our family of five loved staying here! The location is super convenient, just a short walk to Florence's attractions. We appreciated that breakfast was served with a lovely view, featuring fresh pastries and fruit. The staff were friendly, making us feel right at home.

    In my wife’s opinion, the breakfast tables could be larger for our family of five, as we felt a bit cramped during meals.

    Great for families looking for value

    The place was just a short walk from the train station, made it super easy to get there with our bags. The breakfast was fresh with croissants and yogurt. which my kids loved, they couldn't believe it!

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for.

    Staying at Desiree was fantastic! The central location made it easy to explore Florence, with key sights just a stroll away. Breakfast offered a nice variety, though more fresh fruit would enhance it. The lift experience felt a bit quirky, but overall, I enjoyed my stay.

    Had an amazing trip with my friends! The staff was super helpful and allowed us to check our bags after checkout. We appreciated the variety at breakfast, which included fresh pastries and plenty of options to fuel us for our days exploring Florence. The location is fantastic, making it easy for us to reach major attractions like the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery on foot. The only downside was the uncomfortable sofa in our room, but overall we had a great experience.

    I had a productive stay at Desiree, which is ideally located just a few steps from the Firenze Santa Maria Novella station and major attractions like the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery. The staff demonstrated exceptional hospitality, efficiently assisting with my business needs, including setting up presentation equipment. The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, making my work trip enjoyable and stress-free. Breakfast offered a good variety, ensuring I started each day well.

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I had an absolute blast during my stay! The lovely old lift whisked me up to my room with such character, and the traditional decor made me feel like I was part of history. Plus, with the train station just a stone's throw away, I was off exploring the city in no time! 🌟

    Convenient Location with Room for Improvement

    We enjoyed our stay, especially the location near local attractions. However, the mattress was quite uncomfortable, affecting our sleep. The nearby dining options were a highlight, providing a taste of local cuisine. Make sure to check for comfortable bedding to enhance your experience.

    Had an amazing time with my friends! The staff was super helpful and let us check our bags after checkout. We visited the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo, both within walking distance. Breakfast was great with plenty of options. Joseph from the staff was especially friendly. Would totally recommend this place for a fun group getaway!

    The sofa in our room was a bit uncomfortable and could use an update.

    ideal location
    genuine hospitality
    bothersome noise
    elevator concerns
    minor drawbacks

    The location was ideal, just steps from the main train station and close to historic sites. My room was spacious and boasted a modern bathroom and comfortable shower. Breakfast included fresh seasonal fruits and a good variety of options. However, noise from the street could be bothersome at times, and the elevator was quite old, which may concern some travelers. Despite these minor drawbacks, the genuine hospitality from the staff made for a memorable experience.
