Hotel staff helpful. Spoke enough english which was helpful. Breakfast was nice. Across street from train. Perfect for those traveling to another city after florence. Highly recomend

A wonderful small hotel located across from train station. Convenient for day trips. Wonderful breakfast and helpful and friendly staff. Our 2'nd stay here.

I really loved the location of this hotel. It was super close to the train station which was really good when we arrived with bags. It was close to the tour we were going on early in the morning and breakfast was available which was good as well.

Inexpensive hotel for sleeping, but small with few amenities. The room did have a hairdryer and small fridge. Great location only a 15 minute walk to the Duomo. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast buffet is typical Italian fare.

The hotel does not have room at one location. they gave us room in a building not secure..no ac and no breakfast access a block away. no elevators.

At the begining we felt frustrated because the receptionist told us that our rooms are in another building. This was not mentioned at the hotel information that I got in the internet. Both, main and secondary parts of the hotel are within an apartament block, which are not mainteined at all. At the end,Florence is so beautiful that hotel's defficiencies are invisible.

We actually had to walk a block from the reception desk to get to our room. Kind of strange and not something you want to do after a long day of travelling. The positives are that it's cheap & the man running the front desk was super nice!

The hotel is right in front of the S.M.N. train station and within walking distance of major tourist spots. The bus stop is also right in front. Laundry, restaurants, Internet all right outside the door, as well as a supermarket. The staff spoke enough English to meet the tourist's needs. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The staff went the extra mile to help me get to the beautiful American WWII Memorial in Florence, which to my sad surprise, not many Americans bother to visit. The hotel is a good deal by Italian standards.

great price at good location
