What an absolutely perfect little hotel in an amazing location. Directly across the way fromThe Duomo. Wonderful breakfast and pleasant professional people working at the desk. Would definitely stay again
Very convenient location for many Florence highlights. Good breakfast included. The bells from the Giotto bell tower and nearby Duomo could be bothersome but great alarms.
Best location! Bring a set a headphones to sleep with if you come during a holiday. But our room faced the Duomo square so it is completely acceptable. Kids and I had a blast! Extremely nice staff and good breakfast.
Proximity to everything. The hotel is right next to the duomo, you can hear the bell ring everytime. Room was clean and spacious. The windowsxand drapes keep the room quiet.
The hotel is in a fabulous location. Right in the heart of everything. Its off a small side street so it quiet too.
Very comfortable beds and verybclean.
Its old. Its not a boutique hotel. Its great value. In a great location with great staff.
Highly recommended
Amazing location, steps away from the Cathedral! We were able to walk to all major locations withing minutes. The room was large and accommodating. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only negative is that we were having issues with the air conditioning but the staff were as helpful as they could be.
The hotel was right next to Duomo so location was on point. The hotel has small elevator (typical in Europe) as reception and rooms in 3rd floor. The service both the front desk and the breakfast buffet were very helpful. Typical Italian breakfast and it was good.
Was in a fantastic area! Loved having a bathtub option for the first time in our trip. The only real “problem” was not a lot of breakfast options for people with food allergies. This was not such a big deal due to a grocery store not that far away.
The property has the most AMAZING location. The stairs to checked into the room are difficult. But we were checked into a lovely room with a sensational view of the Duomo and Piazza just outside our window. The breakfast could be better, it’s more of a morning snack, but the staff’s courtesy more than makes up for it! The location is walkable to everywhere. We would just take a stroll and be at a tourist attraction before we knew it. I would definitely stay there again!
Location, location, location. Literally steps from the Duomo. We had a queen bed and a twin. The queen was up in a loft and wasn’t very comfortable. The staff was very nice and very helpful. Breakfast in the mornings was basically continental but served its purpose. Easy check in and out.
Pros: Super clean room and hotel, very polite and helpful staff, great location and view, very good breakfast that was included
Cons: wifi was very weak, there was no safe box in our room as it was being replaced, hard to sleep at night because of outside noise as the hotel is in busy area, sometimes there was no hot water in bathroom.
Great location. Close to train station and steps from cathedral and Bell’s tower.
The clerks were friendly. Missed the convenience of being able to make coffee/ tea in the room. Coffee was not available for purchase either! No iron available.
The hotel was in a very convenient spot, just outside the Duomo but being a busy section of Florence, it was also quite noisy at times.
Our room was clean and maintained and we had a large bathroom that looked to be renovated in the last few years. There was a step down from the bedroom to the bathroom and that was a little dangerous if you had mobility issues or needed the bathroom at night.
The staff was friendly and receptive and looked after whatever needs we had.

Getting a car to this hotel is nearly impossible. You have one way streets, ped zones, roads completly closed due to construction. Hotel is next to doumo that is why, great location for traveling by train. Ticket for ped zone is in 100s of euros. Rooms have modern bathrooms but rooms are quite beat up.

The room was clean and the reception and breakfast staff were good! However, the rooms are not soundproofed,and they do not have laundry facilities as advertised. We were kept awake by the man snoring in the next room all night. You can also hear the street noise very well. While the view of the Duomo was great, the noise was too much. The hotel also does not have decent wifi, so connectivity was an issue for our stay. We had to go to the lobby and connect through our phone's service, which was also very limited in the room.
The hotel is located about 15 minutes walking distance from the train station, which is the main port of coming and leaving Florence. It was not too bad for us to walk over in a wet day with drizzles. I had to use my phone to navigate my way to find the hotel. It is located on a very hidden street - hard to find without GPS guidance.
The hotel is very small and quite old. My room is very small, that could be because I booked the cheapest type of room. Staff was very pleasant, beds were so so, breakfast not impressive. I may choose a different one next time. But overall, I did not have bad experience with this vendor.

Location is very good, super convenient to a lot of places as stated in the hotel details. Staff was very nice.
There were a few things we didn’t like:
1) the elevator is really small and it was a bit tricky for us to squeeze in one big and one small luggage and 2 people. There are a few steps to get to the elevator, so if you have a big luggage like we did, the whole getting luggage in and out can be very frustrating.
2) I would not say the A/C didn’t work but it was apparently not effective. It was still quite warm at night and we didn’t even need a sheet for sleep. It was at the border line of uncomfortably hot.
3) since it is at an excellent location you can hear the church bell ring, which was not a big problem for us.
4) Bathroom shower was ok but compared to other hotels we had stayed in Italy the water pressure was not strong.
This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The only thing it has going for it is the location. You cannot beat it - you can literally see the duomo from your window and there are a ton of shopping and eating options around. The property itself though leaves MUCH to be desired. The banister on the staircase is lose, be careful hanging onto it. The elevator is extremely small and very uncomfortable to get in and out of as there is a pretty big step just outside of it. The property is not quaint/charming, it's simply old and not very clean. The furniture in the room is dated and very cumbersome - serves no purpose at all. The hangers are all mismatched and some were broken (how much can this possibly cost to replace???). You literally have to turn your room key to the front desk every time you leave the property. They do however keep your ac on while you're away. We literally moved our beds so they could face the ac. Beds/pillows were comfortable. Shower floor is slippery. Breakfast is decent - no ice though. The girl who helped us checking out was a bit rude. We asked to leave the luggage to pick up later - she said sure "follow me" - we thought she was leading us to a safe room - nope...literally five steps away to the hallway. We asked if bags were safe there - her response: "you can take them with you if you prefer". Will never stay there again no matter how great the location is. Options abound in the area. Shop around.
