Excellent Service, but..
By Lisa, 1/5/07
cleanliness was lacking. I found the staff to be polite and helpful, but our room wasn't very clean. There was mold in the bathroom and the tub was never cleaned. I would visit this hotel again, but I would bring my own sponge and disinfectant. The locaction was lovely, right on the Arno River. The breakfast was more than I expected in Italy.

The room was not very clean. The staff were rude. They would not answer questions and an elderly couple were treated very rudely,while we were present.

Don't stay here.
By Julie, 8/24/06
I have never experienced a ruder staff at a hotel in my life. Just one example: we accidentally took our room key with us out to dinner one night instead of leaving it at the front desk, and when we returned, the man at the front desk screamed at me for five minutes: "This is not America. Why would you do this?" and on and on. Unbelievable. The police were called on our friends because they had one more person in their room than they had booked. Understandibly, the hotel has a policy about unauthorized guests. But the staff didn't even mention anything to our friends, just sent the police to kick all of them out! The rooms are small and dingy, and our shower head was located in the middle of the bathroom. You turn the shower on, and everything in the bathroom gets wet. And there WAS a bathtub where the shower head could have gone. In a nutshell, do not stay here. Worst hotel experience ever.

By Pamela, 6/17/06
This place was great, the location the rooms were huge and very clean.. However, the front desk had a very RUDE lady named Helena.. she was not helpful at all and it was my only bad experience from the hotel. Otherwise its a well worth it to spend your money on it!! walking distance from the main attractions, florence its a beautiful city!
