Museo Statale d'Arte Medievale e Moderna

Hotel was in a great location and we enjoyed that it was more unique due to being in an older building. The room was actually very big so plenty of space for our family of 4. Only odd thing was that there was not much furniture and it would have been convenient to have one shelf or dresser to put some stuff in or on. We had to instead use our suitcases on the floor to get our stuff in and out each day.

Firstly this hotel is on a side street and not easy to find. We arrived with two young children on an intense heat wave day to check in for a confirmed, family room booked through Expedia. At check-in we were told the air conditioning in our room was broken. They made no attempt to inform us in advance of the issue or rebook us into a different room. The front desk declined to move us to another room and offered only a refund — which doesn’t help when an equivalent room for the same dates now costs roughly double, leaving us to find and pay for alternative accommodation ourselves in peak summer heat. When we asked to resolve it with the manager, Giulia, the front desk would not call her directly and said they were unable to reach her; our own later attempts to contact her also went unanswered. This was not a weekend check-in or a late night check-in that the manager is not available. She had instructed the front desk not to call her. For a 4-star hotel at this price, being unable to provide a functioning air-conditioned room, refusing to relocate us, and leaving guests with no way to reach management is a serious failure. A carefully planned family trip, badly let down by rude staff and missing manager. Whoever owns this hotel should evaluate. The hotel itself is not a 4 star either at best a 1 or 2 star. We would recommend travels AVOID this hotel.

Great hotel, we'll located at the heart of historic Florence. The staff is amazing, food is great, love it. Always stay here when I visit Florence. Thank you
