"Really lovely B&B in a central location. The staff are so nice, breakfast, and the lady that serves it, was a delight every morning. Very quiet considering its location, less then a 15 min walk from the station and a few minutes from the dome.
One review said the beds are hard, I do agree but I think it’s personal preference as my other half found the bed super comfy.
We would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone. "

"Upgrade offered to suite so comfy for three. Only shortcoming was ac units are very strong and noisy. But we appreciated the cool during heat wave. Nice breakfast buffet included. "
"We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was much newer, cleaner, and more spacious than many other hotels we've stayed at in Italy. The style and layout felt more like an American hotel — modern, comfortable, and very functional.
The amenities were excellent. We especially appreciated the free laundry facilities, which are rare in Europe. The rooftop bar was a highlight — great atmosphere, excellent drinks, and an incredible view. The pool was small but nicely done, and the entire experience felt easy and relaxing.
One thing to note is that the hotel is quite large, and navigating between buildings requires changing elevators. It’s not difficult, but if you’re in a rush, it can be a bit inconvenient. Still, it's a small trade-off for the overall comfort and quality.
I think this hotel is best suited for families and younger travelers. While there are elevators and it’s accessible, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for older guests looking for a smaller, more central boutique-style stay. That said, it’s still a much more comfortable option compared to many of the older, smaller hotels in Europe.
The location is a bit outside the city center, but still very manageable with public transportation or taxis.
Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return."
"The top floor terrace faces the Duomo and Santa Croce, giving a spectacular view of the city lit up at night. The food was very good -- some fun, unique menu items. The staff was friendly & helpful.
The only reason the couple of areas that I gave fours were that the room was on the small side, and there was some construction going on along the river -- not the hotel's fault, obviously -- that blocked the view of the river and made the area just in front look a bit industrial. Again, not their fault; just wanted to leave a heads-up that until construction is complete, the area around the property won't be as charming as I assume is usual."
