We Reserved Hotel by booking dot com but I already hard about this hotel. It's near railway station, 15- 20 minutes. As a base is Perfect to visit Firenze and other cities like Sienna (go by bus) and Venice ( go by train). Every Time alter late dinner with chianti - go straight on to hotel with one long Street ( with lots of Secret) From heart of Firenze. Manager of hotel very polite Man, with sense of humor and full of important tips how to travel, where to go - information giver :-).
Me and my wife spent 3 nights at this hotel, made our reservation from internet. The price is the strongest point of them. Prices are relatively ok. The staff and their behaviors were also quite fine. However, rooms are not clean enough, housekeeping seems to do something else rather than tidying the room up. We even couldn't get clean sheets. At this time of the year Florence is quite cold, with rains you can easily catch a cold. There were no heating option at all in the room. We simply had to bare the cold. You are expected to checked in later on 14:00 yet your check out time has to be sooner than 9:00 a.m. , this is ridiculous and puts your feet in one shoe. Fortunately the hotel is not so far away from the center and main train station. Hope this comment helps you. They gotta change something, they have a potential though...
I stayed in this hotel on 8th and 9th October 2016, The worst part of our tour is staying in this hotel in Italy. The lady was terrible, we requested for a packed breakfast on 9th morning as we have to take tour to Pisa and Siena at 8 AM but the lady owner was always saying that she cannot give breakfast before 7.30 AM. Where ever we stayed in Italy the breakfast time was 7-10 AM , but this hotel it was 7.30 -9.30 AM. And obviously breakfast was pathetic. regards Sabyasachi
It was comfortable and conveniently located. The breakfast was typically Italian (sweet). Sometimes cars and other residents could be heard, although not late at night so I slept well (take earplugs just in case). It served my purpose to visit Florence and sight see well.
My husband and I stayed here for a couple of days after this New year. Convenient location near to the railway station and the historic centre. Easily find on the street. Good value for money, even better than we expected. Inside the hotel is very cozy and nice. Spacious and clean rooms with fine design of the walls. Big comfortable bed with a warm blanket. Excellent Wi-Fi in your room. A wonderful and positive staff always ready to help with any matter. There is also the small breakfast. In a word, we liked here everything! We would be happy to stay here next time. Many thanks to the administrator for the hospitality and a map of the city with the recommendation of the best places to visit! Thanks to you, we have remembered Florence as the most amazing city in Italy.
We arrived around 10pm and had some questions about the city and a cordially smiling receptionist has nicely explained the itinerary and gave us a map. As for the rooms they are pretty clean and comfortable ,except for disturbing kitch photos( black and white lips with a red cherry and glitters) on the wall , for someone who is visiting Florence that might me a bit frustrating , I hope not all rooms are like this :)
I stayed there as I m at home. Very clean and comfortable hotel. Has big room and bathroom. The owner and her daughter are helpful and pretty. It is maybe little bit far away from train station but I would like to stay there again. 👍
The room was not that comfortable, the towels in the bathroom I would rate as napkins in a restaurant, and the worst was my Lady friend and I watched the owner washing dishes by hand, and also washing the plastic knives and forks for reuse, very unsanitary by any standard. Also was told the first hot beverage was free but you will have to pay for another, the breakfast was low standard, and we did not eat there for the rest of our week stay, not a friendly owner.
Very nice service. Rooms are big. Bathroom is nice. Room is clean. Bed is comfortable. Beautiful views on the street. Good breakfast. Closest and Central to restaurants and attractions. Very nice accommodations. Bigger than most European accommodations.
Price is good if you are travelling on a tight budget. Four in a room at about 160 per day is a good deal. However, if you are more used to a regular hotel there are a few things to consider: no AC, and in the Florentine summer that can be a problem even with two fans in the room. Not as closed to downtown as advertised, a good 35 minute walk to the core. Bus stop at the door, however. Towels only changed every second day and no toiletries. The cleaning staff was a bit of a problem. We got an unnecessary scolding (not appreciated) because the toilet was not clean (!?) and we, apparently, did not leave the room early enough for them to clean, that led to us leaving a day early, even with a full prepaid stay. This hotel is used for school trips (I know because my school has come here) and are not very interested in regular travellers. If you can afford something better go elsewhere.
