Reviews and Ratings
The hotel delighted me with beautiful, spacious rooms that had great light; an upgrade to a suite was a pleasant surprise. However, the street noise late at night was a minor drawback.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were gorgeous, clean, and had a cozy home-like feel; truly 5-star quality. The service was exceptional, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist. The location was perfect, right in between Accademia and Ponte Vecchio, with easy access to all the landmarks of Florence. The dining experience was good, albeit a bit simple. Overall, a fantastic stay with great value for money.
My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of historic downtown with easy access to all the high-end designer shops and tourist spots. The rooms, however, were rather dated, especially the bathroom facilities, and my room faced a white decrepit wall, which wasn't the most uplifting view.
Staying at this hotel was a lovely experience. The rooms were beautifully decorated and impeccably clean, although facing an internal courtyard. The service was top-notch, with a very helpful and friendly staff. The location was ideal for exploring the city with easy access to major attractions and great shopping districts. The dining was fabulous, offering a wide variety of delicious options. However, the dining area had some shortcomings. Overall, it was a comfortable and elegant stay with excellent service and convenience.
I had a comfortable stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, though choosing a room not on the first floors is recommended to avoid cigarette smoke smell from the hallway. The early garbage clearing at 06:30 was a bit inconvenient.
