A unique boutique hotel experience

I did tons of research before Florence. This hotel was highly rated + a good price + an amazing location, so we went for it! I so wanted to LOVE it but hated it at first and then it grew on me. I have listed all the pro's & cons below and the pros far outweigh the cons. FYI - this is based on our room, the Bruneschelli Suite, room 308. Pros: * Very warm & friendly staff * Amazing breakfast both hot & cold selections - eggs, bacon, breads, pastries, yogurts - everything you could want! Plus fabulous cappuccino! * They do a teatime with pastries, cakes & tea @ 5pm which is a nice pick me up after a long day of sightseeing. * Great location: 5-minute walk to SMN train & the Duomo * Great water pressure in shower, water gets nice & hot * Super comfortable bed! * BEAUTIFUL view of Duomo & hotel gardens * Plenty of closet space w/hangers & shelves * Safe & mini-fridge in the room Cons: * In the Bruneschelli Suite, there are VERY steep stairs (like 10 or so) leading up to bedroom. This was NOT mentioned in room description online. * NO bathroom upstairs so if you have to go in the middle of the night…good luck! * Thermostat is hard to work, room gets very warm * There is no real lobby in the hotel, just a couch by the front door.

The staff at this hotel was wonderful; they were very accommodating. My complaint would be that it was kind of loud with furniture moving. I'm not sure what was going on with this. Also, we were upgraded but charged for the upgrade. I would have thought this was free, as we are VIP Expedia members.

We decided to try a different area of Florence and chose this for the spa. It did not disappoint. There is a large sauna and hot tub/pool. Be sure to make a reservation before you get there because you need reservations for the sauna/pool area. We loved the area around the hotel. There were great restaurants and shopping.
