    poor sound-proofing
    disruptive staff noise

    Our stay was plagued by a lack of sound-proofing. We could hear everything around us, making it impossible to sleep soundly. the cleaning staff's loud conversations in the hallway at dawn were utterly disruptive and frustrating.

    rude staff
    disappointed service

    the hotel was undoubtedly charming, but the staff was less than welcoming. I was shocked they didn’t offer any tea service, a basic amenity! I almost gave a good review, but the awful air-conditioning spoiled it completely. I would have expected a complimentary upgrade for enduring the chaos of a rainstorm, yet none arrived.

    perfect spot for enjoying florence's beauty and attractions

    During my stay, I loved how close the hotel was to the bustling Mercato Centrale, just a few steps away, and the friendly staff made my experience even better, especially when they provided plates for breakfast with a smile. I truly felt at home in this beautiful city.

    clean room
    delightful breakfast
    historical sites
    sound insulation

    I appreciated the cleanliness of my room, and the breakfast options were delightful for starting my day. The hotel's location made excursions to historical sites simple. I found my room's sound insulation lacking, which affected my sleep quality.

    comfortable bed
    large bathroom
    great water pressure
    noise from corridors
    limited soundproofing

    The Standard Double or Twin Room was comfy with good air conditioning and spacious enough to feel at home. The bathroom was large and clean, which is always a plus. I appreciated that the room had great water pressure in the shower. Just a heads up, you might hear some noise from the hall, nothing too crazy, but noticeable if you're a light sleeper.

    street noise

    The charming decor of the lobby made me feel like I had stepped into a cozy Italian villa, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The lifts were quite handy, making accessibility a breeze for everyone.

    More sound insulation needed for peaceful nights.

    The charming decor made me feel at home, with lovely vintage touches and easy access to all floors thanks to the lifts, ensuring comfort for seniors like myself who appreciate ease of mobility.

    great location
    spacious suite
    pet-friendly
    limited quiet hours

    This stay was fantastic! The location was ideal, allowing us to explore Florence easily. Our family loved the large suite we got, which included a little area for our pets. The kids enjoyed the garden and we made some lovely memories as we soaked in all the sights.

    For dads, it would be great to have longer quiet hours.

    It was just a solid selection for a swift visit in Florence with fantastic value. The free wifi was really handy for planning my day. Consider bringing earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
