Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
As a three adult family travelling together, the larger room option was perfect for us. Really easy to get to from the train station/airport tram. Room was spacious and beds were comfortable. It was maybe 10 minutes walk from the Duomo, and there were restaurants, cafes and a gelato shop really close. There is also a happy hour at the bar on site, which was a nice surprise. Breakfast could have been a little better, and the walls between rooms were a little thin so the noise levels is dependent on your neighbours, but overall I would recommend this hotel to others.

This little hotel, just a block from the train station, is a quiet respite from the busy Florence scene. It is convenient to the sights, and provides a generous breakfast. It has an unusually large elevator and comfortable lounge areas in the lobby and third floor balcony.
