Lovely hotel. Staff were excellent. Great location. Easy to walk to all the attractions but a bit of a bumpy walk to/from the station with a wheels case (cobbles everywhere) so maybe consider the bus or taxi. Quirky layout of hotel so maybe not for people with mobility issues. Plenty of places to eat nearby. Would definitely stay there again.

The hotel doesn't live up to its Expedia description. It was advertised as a 4-star, but the service, including the staff, was not up to that standard. The sky bar terrace and the breakfast area were also much smaller and less comfortable than they appeared online.

Mediocre service

The room was very clean and very nice. The building was not handicap accessible and it was an older building, so it was problematic. The biggest problem was the customer service, which was mediocre at best. Even though the hotel room was very nice, I would not recommend this place as I found the staff to be rude and dismissive.

Just ok

The luxury room we booked was nice but you have to walk up stairs no elevator for that type of room so I had to switch rooms outside same floor. Wasn’t a fan of that. And had a really bad ant problem where everyday I come back to my room in Florence they sprayed bug spray and it lingered all day and night everyday for 5 days. Room was big for the family. But I wound not come back here.

Average experience for a great location

The hotel is in a great location. They charged us a cash only 7 euro per person per night tourist fee. When we went to our 2nd hotel we were told the tourist fee is only 6 euro per person per night and is payable by cash or charge. The room had an "odd odor" almost like cat urine and while the ground floor was nice due to the stairs and the heat, the cleaning staff did not seem to care about guests who were staying close to their cleaning closet as they were slamming doors and supplies around at 0700. The room was extremely comfortable and the washrooms were well kept. Overall an average experience for a great location.
