The staff were friendly and the location of the hotel is great in terms of all the sights to see, great restaurants and cafes around. However there seemed to be an electrical issue in my room where the power turned on and off every couple of minutes. Other than that the breakfast was great and the location is awesome if you’re in Florence for a short amount of time.

I chose this hotel based on its proximity to some of the landmarks in Firenze. There are many shops and restaurants near the hotel and everything in Firenze is walkable from here. The hotel is very nice and we enjoyed the breakfast, specially the different and fresh pastries every day.

Super location, just a few minute walk from Palazzo Duomo. Lots of places to eat very close by and food was very good. Just a couple minutes walk from several attractions. Hotel was very clean, staff was very helpful, loved out room (except for the hard bed but this seems to be the trend in Italy so beware). Would def stay here again,.
