This hotel has super modern rooms with multi lighted ceilings that change every few seconds. They have very clean, large bathrooms with toilets, bidets, large showers, and other amenities that are not often found in many other hotels in Europe. The location is directly across the street from the train station and it is a short walk to the main... More

The hotel is situated directly outside Santa Maria Novella train station and also where the main airport bus services drop off. The short 5-10 minute walk to the cities main attractions make this an ideal location for a stay in Florence. Originally we were located in the hotel's annexe which is located around the corner on the street behind the... More

The hotel is positioned quite close to the main railway station for those with luggage and travelling by train. It is close (within easy walking distance) to all of the main attractions of Florence. We had a room on the third floor which was quite spacious with a large bathroom. The hotel was undergoing renovations at the time we were... More

There is a fantastic restaurant one street away (Via della Scala). If you are standing in front of the station looking away from the hotel the street one block back. It had a few restaurants, one in particular, with out door seating has fantastic food and even states on their menu 'the price you see is the price you pay'.... More

The hotel is a good deal for a basic, no frills place. The room has the basics, like a fridge, plus free wifi is very nice. It was a little slow for watching videos (YouTube on a sleepless night...) but fine for email and searching sites for our itinerary. The bathroom was fine with enough room to move around. Breakfast... More

The hotel is located right across the street from the train station; a benefit after traveling for numerous hours. The inside of the hotel is very desirable but rooms on the third will witness a great deal of construction in the hallways. The rooms are a great size for two people and are extremely sanitary. The air conditioning barely works... More

Big rooms, simplicity and an overall nice service. Just 2m from the SMN train estation in Florence. The hotel is in the middle of an important reshuffle and there were works in different parts of the hotel. Nevertheless we weren't disturbed by them. Too simple breakfast! More

This was the second time I have stayed here and I would book it again. The location across from the station is excellent, the service great and the staff friendly. The included breakfast was a good typical Italian breakfast with breads, juice, coffee, meats and cheeses. More

Location is excellent - just across the road from the train station. Breakfast is the best we have had in Europe so far. Room is very comfortable and not noisy even though it's close to the train station. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this hotel! Use the hop-on/off buses for orientation. Markets are only 5-10 minutes... More
