We stayed in multiple hotels during our trip to Europe, and this was our favorite. The hotel was small, the room was spacious, and we enjoyed the free breakfast which included eggs made to order. The bathroom was also spacious and allowed both my husband and me to get ready at the some time in there. The staff was friendly. There are also a number of restaurants available within walking distance, and the location of the hotel was very convenient and close to tourist sites.

This place is a real gem in Florence. My family felt very safe with the setup. The location is conveniently located near the train station and great eateries. We never ran out of food options only a 5 min walk away. Breakfast was also good and they had cappuccinos, freshly baked breads, fresh omelets, juice, deli meats and cheese. Staff really works hard to make sure you are happy and that’s what we were looking for in a hotel. Will definitely stay here again when we go back to Florence.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location couldn’t be better, just a short walk from the train station and within easy reach of all the main tourist attractions, including the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and great recommendations. The breakfast was also a highlight, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to start the day right.
