We picked this hotel because it was close to the train station. What a great choice. It was a beautiful hotel with the Italian charm that I was looking for. I would have preferred a street view however you still have the old style large windows with shutters that opened out into a courtyard. This hotels best feature was the rooftop terrace. It ...
A friend and I stayed here during a recent business trip. We disliked the hotel so much that we left Florence a night early. We both had bad colds, and the room was either so hot that we couldn't sleep (windows closed, no air conditioning), or so loud that we couldn't sleep (windows open). The room was small and dark and unappealing. ...
I stayed here with my new husband during our honeymoon. It was a great place. Right across from the train station. It has beautiful interior, with dark wood everywhere. It's what you would want a typical italian hotel to look like. I didn't have a great need to ask for much while there so I don't have alot to go on about there service. But when I did deal with the staff it was a great experience.
The location is very close to the train station which some people don't like, but I found very convenient and always felt safe. The staff was awesome and helpful. My wife has a gluten food allergy and was thrilled to find that their restaurant had gluten free pasta! This was a big plus. We were close enough to walk all over town. The breakfast was delicious and offered up a outstanding view of the city. Loved this place and I will go back !

Near the Duomo
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/30/07
The Hotel is in a fantastic position only about 2 minutes walk from the Duomo, it takes a little finding though as it is up a narrow side street. The hotel is in the oldest residential building in Florence and the public areas of the hotel are very impressive and atmospheric. Another plus feature is that the hotel has a roof terrace with fantastic ...

Great location, but poor service from all staff members
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/14/07
This hotel is located across from the train station. It's perfect if you want to use Florence as your base and take day trips to Siena, Pisa, etc... You can basically walk everywhere from this hotel location, however, there is a bit BUT!!!! Be prepare to face the rudest and poorest service any hotel can provide you with. From the concierge to ...

The Best of the best
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/22/07
My sister a friend and I stayed here for 10 days- every day we were greated by smiling faces- the front desk was so very helpful and patient-they all spoke english which was also very helpful. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. The beds -just like home-did not miss one nights sleep. The location was perfect- right in the middle of all ...

love this place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/07/06
I went to this hotel in May of this year (2006). What I loved the best was the roof top terrace, and the hotels restaurant. You have a great view of Duomo from the very large windows at the restaurant, and I would suggest eating there at sunset. The way that the sun hits Duomo as it sets is a perfect setting. The roof top terrace also makes for ...

we had a great time!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/14/06
We liked everything about the hotel, except a receptionist at reception informed us that the bus to Pisa airport went every half hour on the hour, and it didn't!!!!! So don't depend on information from reception. We almost missed our check-in. Fortunately a thunderstorm delayed the flight and we luckily got it.

Excellent hotel

Shared the room with two other people and the room was large enough for three adults. The bathroom was huge and the hotel was nice and clean. Great location
