The staff was very nice and helpful! The beds weren't comfortable and the floor was very dirty. The location was good. It was kind of a pain to get to the room. The elevator was very small, only fits 3 people.
Location was excellent right next to the Big Church and walking distances to the train station and central market. There is a king size bed and a very comfortable sofa bed.
We were welcomed by Luca. He provided wonderful options for sight seeing and restaurant options. The room was bigger than the average, clean, quiet. Breakfast had options, the food and coffee-amazing. The service was excellent.
We stayed for one night, from the outset the staff were very helpful. They organised a local garage to pick up our car for parking which worked very well. Really friendly and good breakfast in the restaurant next door.
Andrea was a great host. Very helpful with local things to do. Really loved the property. Cute room and nice facilities. Rooftop area to relax on with a beautiful view. It was very difficult to find at first but everythign else was great!
The breakfast was delicious. The room was great with very modern furnishings and AC. We got a map from the hotel and a summary of all the things to see which was super useful! Everything is in walking distance, including the train station.

The host was very nice and helpful. He showed us places arround. The room is old but spacy and clean. There was also complimentary breakfast right next door which was very nice. Pleasant stay overall
This is the perfect location for a stay in Florence. It’s an easy walk from the train station and everything you want to see and do in Florence. The room is comfortable and well appointed. The staff is delightful. Make a point to get to know Luca. You won’t be disappointed. There is a lift for luggage. We did not experience any smell on our stay. Lovely all the way around
Excellent location. AC was malfunctioning for the suite we reserved so they moved us to two separate rooms near each other.
Breakfast was outstanding. We will stay here again!
This was a very last minute booking. Luca was very responsive on expedia and assisted with us getting a taxi and giving us a brief history of the building (which is amazing).
It is located close to the train station.
The room was cosy and great for our 5 month old, and the lift was very handy. The area is safe and very walkable with a variety of dining options. I would recommend this venue in a heartbeat!
