Pros: A stones throw from SM Novella and a few blocks of the major attractions. Friendly staff and in house breakfast. Do take the city map from the front desk. Cons: Dim rooms. Erratic wifi for which you pay 6 euros a day.

If you go ahead and read my reviews you can see that I am not picky, that I understand price range of the hotel. If you choose a 3 star hotel, you expect clean room with breakfast. And I did. I don't understand how is it possible that this place got 3 stars, like someone said this is a hostel.... More

The location is great, the hotel itself- not so much. feels more like a hostel to me. weird, old and badly renovated, keeps on being renovating (worked there during our stay). the staff was nice. No wifi, nice breakfast. The shower had almost no stream in it. Just felt weird, didn't like it so much, but it was OK... Guess... More

The hotel is located very conveniently on the Piazza di Santa Maria Novella, which is situated in historic center and yet very close to Bus and Train Stations.

Upon exiting the station, on the right side, you can see the towering Basilica di Santa Maria Novella (church). Cross the road, walk till the basilica (there is a tourist information office there as well) and just... More

My husband and i are not too picky with hotels since we are barely there when we travel. Id give this place an average of what we've seen in Europe. But remember that Europe is expensive in general so you get what you pay for. + Great location Free breakfast and it had a lot to choose from Friendly staff... More

Nice room, very "mod" decor, EXCELLENT breakfast (especially since I was traveling with a teen boy who ate much more than the typical continental breakfast), large, clean bathroom. Gorgeous location. Very convenient to the main train hub in Florence!

Fantastic location in the Piazza Santa Maria Novella, within walking distance of the many famous and historical sites. There are good transport links with the train station around the corner and Pisa only an hour away. Also many shops and restaurants located nearby and the staff at the hotel are always pleased to help and advise you. The rooms are... More

Located in front of piazza Santa maria novella, this hotel is not necessarily in the core of downtown Florence but it is very close. In the piazza you can find food vendors, and even sit down and enjoy a glass of wine or two (or five lol). The room was beautiful. It was clean, comfortable, the decor was nice and... More
