missingWrote a review on 09 Octconvenient locationfriendly staffcramped 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.

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.

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.

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.
