The people of the hotel is very professional and friendly ready to help
Clean room, staff was nice and location was perfect. Only complaint is the room is small, however it was for a good cost. Loved the filtered water on the first floor too!
The room was very nice, spacious and well maintained by staff with two exceptions:
- the AC is centrally managed and the duct points directly at the heads of people in both beds at night. This results in the need to contact staff to turn down or completely off the AC at night for some (like my family had to do)
- the double shower had a drain that would back up if both showers ran high volumes of water.
Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with very friendly reception staff, and the location is excellent - easy to access everything nearby.
Unfortunately, the room itself was a letdown. It was extremely small, with a very uncomfortable bed, making it difficult to relax. While the bathroom was modern and visually appealing, it lacked basic practicality - there was no space to put a toiletry bag and not even a hook to hang towels or clothing.
Overall, despite the great location and service, the room felt cramped and uncomfortable, which impacted the stay.
Room was super small- we were 2 people with 1 suitcase barely fit. No more than 2 feet between bed and wall on 1 side and bed and bathroom on the other. A person on the bath side of the bed couldn’t get out of bed unless the door was shut. No room amenities- no place to hang towels. Room was street facing with only a shear curtin. Room was lit all night. Would not recommended for anyone other than a solo traveler with a small bag.
Posizione strategica,vicino alla stazione di Santa Maria Novella e al centro città. Camera pulita e letti comodi. Buona la colazione a buffet.
Unico aspetto da migliorare: lo sciacquone del bagno spreca moltissima acqua ogni volta che si aziona. Dovrebbero mettere il doppio tasto per risparmiare acqua
