Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room is spacious with two beds, one is a queen bed (or bigger) and a single bed and new bathroom. Budget friendly for young aldults with free breakfast every day. I may get noisy at time since dinner time in Florence start from 8pm but it gets quiet after midnight. Steps away from tram and about 15 minutes walk to the Duomo. A lot of shops and cafes around. Fun and convenient area to be. I wish the room had ook(s) in the bathroom.

The location of the Hotel is really good, walkable from the main attractions, and very safe. Breakfast was good, enough to keep you going for a while. The only kind of bad experience I had, is that you can hear everything from the other rooms, the first night, somebody was arguing, and I couldn't sleep very well. Overall, the experience was good. Staff is very helpful and give you a map and recommendations for places to visit.

A great value!

Our stay was an excellent value for the money. The room was very clean with a private bathroom, minimal furniture: not night stands, but it had a big closet, a TV, a desk with a chair, and a small fridge. It felt like staying in a college dorm but with a full size bed. The breakfast was good and a nice addition. We didn’t have to worry about looking for places for breakfast the next morning which saved us time and money. Not far from the center of the city but it is a walk. There is an amazing restaurant in the neighborhood “Antica Trattoria de Tito”. A lot of young people in the hotel. We will definitely stay again!

Some of the staff were excellent and all were at least good. Breakfast is good enough to keep you going for the day with a minimal lunch. Shopping and dining are a brisk five to ten minute walk in any direction (tourist prices). Transportation is nearby; however, I waited for the bus and it never came….i just walked.
