The hotel was in a comfortable and ideal location near to the main Railways Station that s Santa Maria Novella, attractions, lots of restaurants, supermarket nearby and several supermarkets. The breakfast was satisfactory with a lot of dishes. The daily service was exceptional.
They served such poor breakfast, it can be way much better.

Clean hotel in an old fashioned building near to galleries, museums, churches, the town centre and the main areas of the city. Marvellous location of the venue to everything from the markets to the Duomo & Ponte Vecchio. Situated only 1 km from an unusual and inspirational church.

The location was good to central market or Santa Maria Basilica, close to the train station. We tried some restaurants, including Royal India Ristorante which boasted a healthy cuisine.

Staff were top-class, room was large with a refrigerator. The location was exceptionally nice, for example, a l-shaped square was just a pleasant stroll away from the hotel.

A great value hotel, my first choice in Florence. Fantastic base for rest in Florence. Gentle and friendly people working here, functional room. A mini-fridge-bar, climate control and a personal safe in the room and the good bed. A nice view from the window. Incredible setting, close to restaurants and bars. A lot of food options within walking distance of the venue.
