Nicely located hotel. The room was spacious and we loved the coffee station (although we would suggest adding coffee whitener to the amenities). Staff was so helpful explaining the details for a stress free stay. She also pointed out several must sees on a map. Would stay here again.

What a nice surprise! We've stayed at the Essence Hotel for only one night, and the stay couldn't be better. The room was spacious, with a very nice view of Firenze. Location was great, only 15 min walking from the Santa Maria Novella train station. And Rafaella, from the front desk, was so lovely with us.

The checkin staff was helpful - provided us a map and recommended us where to go and even where not to go. The hotel has a modern vibe which we love. It is walkable to the center and train station. Wifi was fast which is a plus for my son. The only negative thing is that something seems to be biting my son who has his own bed.
