All the rooms are compact with 4 beds and the staff is very good. The location is stunning and amazing, it's just off the historical centre. There's Trattoria Mario located close to the hotel, recommend to try food there.

Fairly clean, great family run hotel, I thoroughly enjoyed functional and compact rooms and very good staff. I had amazing food for breakfast with nice view of Florence. The venue had a very central position close to restaurant, and the Duomo and the other points of interest. Also, a l-shaped square was easy to reach.

The location was perfect, a 10-15 minute walking distance from a 15th - century Dominican church. Appreciated our beautifully decorated room with a superb view on the catedral and the ancient-style building.

Nice stay, we were there for 1 day. It was clean, the staff was great, plus the service was incredible! Location: the hotel was just off the Duomo and the Academie, old Florence, and the attractions in Florence. It also was near the center.
