I had an amazing stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet, spacious, and clean, and I loved that I could enjoy a cocktail after a long day of sightseeing. However, my room was positioned under the stairs and next to a broom closet, which was a bit of a downside.

The hotel boasts spacious and clean rooms with a wide variety of breakfast options, though the dining area lacks privacy. The helpful and communicative service offers a 'wow' moment upon room reveal, but laundry service may be a downside. Its excellent location provides easy access to major attractions, while the dark courtyard view is a drawback.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were large, spotless, and incredibly comfortable with a sofa bed and a spacious shower room. The breakfasts were ample and delicious. The service was exceptional, going out of their way to make our visit to Florence unforgettable and even posting a forgotten item to my home in Australia. The location, right opposite the river Arno, was perfect for exploring the city by foot. The dining experience offered a variety of delicious options. Overall, a fantastic value for the money!

I found the hotel to be quite a gem - it's not overly fancy but gets the job done. The rooms, though on the smaller side for a double, are clean and functional with a peaceful courtyard view. The service was super helpful, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The location by the Arno river? Pretty great. The dining experience was surprisingly impressive with a varied buffet spread. The facilities were adequate, nothing extravagant but did the trick.
