Disliked: Amenities
While this accommodation was within walking distance of the train station and all the sites, overall it was very basic. It was extremely noisy, potentially a school excursion was staying in the same accomodation, the bathroom facilities were quite tight and the bed was uncomfortable.

This hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the train station. Similar to other European properties, the outer door leads to a shared interior space. Reception is on the second floor. The staff was very kind and helpful and allowed to us to leave our bags before check-in time and provided us with a map of the city. Our room was spacious and clean. The room had an AC unit as well and it overlooked a little courtyard. Very pleasant stay.

We booked it at the same day we did a check in, may be that’s a reason we got a very old room with walls cracks and old furniture. 145 euro is a too high price for a room like that.

Dear and kind Alina, we are sorry if you did not appreciate the room that was assigned to you (even if you could have told us about it at reception) but you did NOT pay the amount you wrote about. That is so not true and not correct. Do you agree? Thank you SO much and best wishes and reagrds.

Great location. Big room for our family of four. AC worked great. Room was a little dated but overall worked great for our two days that we stayed. Front desk staff were very personable and allowed us to store luggage for free on day of check out. Would definitely come stay again.

Room furnishing a little spare but functional/ could have used a small refridgerator. Window effectively soundproofed against bus traffic on Via Ventisette. Nice continental breakfast buffet, though unexpected to charge on top of room fee for it. biggest complaint was the lack of clear signage at the entry door, arrows were confusing and unclear that we were seeking small buzzer.

The hotel area of Florence is amazing. Everything you want to see and do is no more than 2-3km away. You will be walking because parking and traffic is terrible. Hotel parking is properly but very close. The rooms are old and workout, but for this price in this area of Florence, was a good deal.

Centrally located, walking distance to all major sites. Very basic but clean. Hotel is on the second floor of a building. Over-priced for how basic it is but also visited during a busy time in Florence so not much choice.

I loved the location of this property but was very disappointed in the hotel itself. When we got in, it looked like an abandoned building. We went up the extremely claustrophobic elevator and finally got to our room. The toilet bowl was loose, and every time I sat it felt like it was going to fall over. With every flush the toilet also sprayed water, and the shower was also leaking. We asked for the hotel to fix it, and they said yes, but nobody came. They said the next day that because it was Sunday nobody could come. We had to ask to move to a different room, which they agreed to. Our next room was much more functional and we appreciated them moving us, but we felt pretty disappointed that we still had to go through the inconvenience.

La recepción muy amables y eficiente. Te dejan guardar tus maletas y te hacen limpieza diaria. La ubicación es muy buena si vienes de la estación de tren o del aeropuerto pues allí cerca de la estación de tren está la parada del tranvía para el aeropuerto y es muy económico 1.5 €. Las habitaciones son sencillas, pero amplias y las camas son cómodas, baño limpio y muchas toallas limpias y toilletieres. Ciertamente a Florencia vas a conocer entonces para dormir está muy bien y el aire acondicionado funciona bastante bien también tiene secadora de pelo por si necesitas.
