The staff here are incredibly friendly and the location is not too far from the main part of the city. The mattress was really soft which left me in a bit of pain but my back can be picky.

Hotel is a bit off the heart of Florence but still easy walking distortion close to tram for luggage transfer to and from train station. The rooms were modern and comfortable but the shower is small and the AC did not work well.

There was work being done outside my room door so, no naps during the daytime, the only thing close by really is a train and bus station. Shopping and food were a walking distance. I didn't care for the location.
