In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central location near the station — Guests consistently highlight the convenience of being close to Santa Maria Novella station and within easy reach of Florence's main sights, including Piazza della Signoria and the Ponte Vecchio.
  • Spacious, clean rooms — Several reviews describe the rooms as large, bright, and exceptionally clean, with comfortable beds and well-maintained bathrooms.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — The staff receive frequent praise for their warmth and responsiveness, from check-in to practical help during the stay.
  • Terrace breakfast — Breakfast served on the terrace is a highlight, with good coffee, pastries, and the option for fried eggs, all enjoyed in a sunny outdoor setting.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed reviews on breakfast quality — While many praise the breakfast, one guest found the cheese and ham subpar, though they noted the coffee and pastry selection were good.
  • Signage can be hard to spot — At least one guest had difficulty locating the property due to a lack of clear signage, suggesting it may not be immediately obvious from the street.
  • Comfort rating is low — The comfort category scores just 5.0, which may indicate that some guests found the beds, noise levels, or room temperature not to their liking, even though individual reviews are positive.
  • Check-in and check-out windows are limited — Check-in is only between 08:00 and 23:00, and check-out between 07:00 and 10:00. This may be restrictive for guests with early flights or late arrivals.

“The hotel is nice. The patio is not really big, but quite nice. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff are really nice. Breakfast is okay – they serve quite bad cheese and ham, although they have good coffee and a good choice of pastry, and they can make you fried eggs if you want.”
