Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a unique charm, although some refurbishing is needed for the heating systems. The service is top-notch, very welcoming, accommodating, and helpful. The location is beautiful, providing a quieter stay near the city center. The dining options are varied, with delicious croissants and ample choices. The facilities are well-equipped for a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a huge bed, but they need renovation, especially the paint on the walls. The location is in a relatively quiet neighborhood with nice cozy couches to relax, though a bit outside the tourist area. The dining experience is pleasing with a good variety of foods, and the service is excellent, with staff providing detailed advice and directions. Pricing is reasonable, considering the value provided.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was small and outdated with an old carpet, but it did have a nice balcony despite the lack of a view. The breakfast was basic considering the price paid, and the elevator was too cramped for two persons with luggage. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and helpful, offering excellent service, although the bar lady seemed more focused on her phone. The location was good, not right in the center but within walking distance to main attractions. The dining experience was above standard, but the prices were quite high. The facilities were satisfactory overall, but improvements could be made.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms had a beautiful view and a huge bed, but some areas needed refurbishing. The location was good for a quieter experience, yet a bit far from the main area. The dining experience was varied and satisfying, with a good selection of foods. Overall, it offered a mix of positives and negatives.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and not so great experiences. The incredibly spacious rooms with a king-size bed and large walk-in closet made the stay more enjoyable, but some areas had poorly ventilated and scratched walls. The location was good in terms of proximity to attractions, but not ideal for nighttime walks due to secluded streets. The dining experience was decent with a charming dining room, yet noise was a downside. The facilities overall were satisfactory.
The hotel is well-located, but room conditions could use some improvement. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, especially during unexpected circumstances. Dining options are satisfactory. The location offers a mix of quiet surroundings and proximity to key attractions.
The hotel offers spacious and nicely decorated rooms with decent equipment, exuding a classical atmosphere like Florence. However, some rooms were in need of maintenance. The service was very friendly and helpful, going the extra mile where possible. The location was convenient, within walking distance of many tourist destinations and nestled in a safe, quiet area. The dining experience was good, offering a variety of options during the desired mealtimes. The facilities were well-maintained with a few areas needing touch-ups.
The hotel's room was not the typical superior room of a 4-star hotel. The bathroom was old with a 90s standard, and the wallpapers were incredibly dirty and partially ripped. The view from the window was obstructed by a wall, and the window couldn't be opened as it was above the kitchen. Despite being spacious, the room felt dark and somewhat depressing. The service was inconsistent, with some staff being very professional while others seemed disengaged from the property. The location was convenient, about a 15-minute walk from the train station and major tourist sites, but noise issues affected the quality of stay. The dining experience offered a decent selection of food but was quite expensive. While the facilities were lacking, with the property needing renovation, the hotel overall had some positive aspects like a good central location and friendly staff.
The hotel was a charming duplex with two bathrooms, ideal for our group of three girls. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, larger than typical European rooms, but in need of some renovation, particularly the paint on the walls. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff offering valuable advice and detailed directions for exploring the area. The location, though not in the bustling center, was perfect for those seeking a quieter setting within walking distance of Florence's historical sights. The dining experience was delightful with a wide variety of offerings, although some noise could be a minor inconvenience. Overall, a pleasant stay with great value for money.
While the rooms at the hotel were clean and tidy, they showcased outdated furnishings and weren't up to the standard of a 4-star hotel with a nightly rate of 200 euros. The spacious layout was pleasant, but the vintage furniture felt old and misrepresented compared to the advertised pictures, posing a hazard due to awkward fitting.
