Very friendly staff, smooth coordination for check-in and luggage storage after check-out. Great room, which we really liked. The breakfast selection could be a bit larger, but it's sufficient for a good start of the day. The location is perfect for exploring the city. We’d love to come back.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location couldn’t be better, just a short walk from the train station and within easy reach of all the main tourist attractions, including the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and great recommendations. The breakfast was also a highlight, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to start the day right.

The hotel is close to the train station, major sightseeing places, restaurants, supermarket, and Laundromat. All in walkable distance. The room is spacious, clean, and cozy. Breakfast is included but need to order the day before. The elevator is small. If you have big luggages, you may need to take the elevator one person at a time. We love the room we stayed. Highly recommended this hotel.

We LOVED this property. For US/CA tourists, please consider this location for your stay. It was very secure, the beds are firm, there is good water pressure, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate breakfast and luggage storage. Very good experience.
