Good choice in less-busy area of Firenze

This was a very nice, boutique-type hotel, located about 12-15 min easy walk from the Duomo area of Firenze/Florence - so its close enough to walk just about everywhere without being in the middle of the crowds. Helpful staff, good free breakfast, free WiFi.

If looking to do day trips, combine Pisa and Siena. Unless you really like to look in every church in a town, these are both really half day visits at best.

Nice place very good Euro breakfast

Rooms are small but very modern and functional beds are also nice. Breakfast very nice great coffee and diverse offering not American eggs and bacon but a great start to the day. A full fast 5-7 minute walk to Duomo and key activities. Arno is 15 minute walk. No complaints because long walks are a key part of seeing this city.

excellent service from all staff

excellent service from all staff - at reception, during breakfast etc. - one of the most helpful hotel staffs that I have ever come across; good location, just about 5 mins walk past the Academia; lovely modern, clean, spacious rooms; bit noisy street side with all the mopeds going by so maybe request a back room? would definitely recommend this hotel to friends

Aamiainen hieman floppaa

Pääsääntöisesti hotelli on aivan OK keskitason hotelli. Aamiainen on lähinnä matkustajakotitasoa.

Gutes Hotel für Städtereise

Das Hotel ist geeignet für eine Städtereise in Florenz. ca. 10 Min. zu Fuss ins Zentrum. Gratis W-LAN. Schade, dass man um 22 Uhr an der Hotelbar nichts mehr zu trinken kriegt.

Something to rember

It is a pleasure to recommend this nice hotel to visitors who demand best possible value for their money. This comfort hotel is situated quite close to almost all central attractions, not to mention shopping places. Notable is the first class service you get from the always kind, helpful and polite staff. Compared with most other Italian 4 star hotels you get a generous and tasty breakfast. By all means it was a really pleasant stay.

tres bon hotel

Je recommande chaudement cet hôtel: -personnel aimable, respectueux et polyglote -quartier calme, clientèle soignée, discrète -Petit déjeuner copieux et savoureux -emplacement intéressant pour visiter les musées (proximité des stations de bus, à 6 minutes à pied del DUomo) Le seul soucis que j'ai rencontré c'est l'absence de restaurants potables à proximité qui amène à de longue balades nocturnes.
