I brought a group of US university students to Florence for a few nights, and we stayed at this hotel. I am staying on for a couple more nights after they've gone, and I couldn't be happier to be here. This is not a hotel where you can call the desk and have someone come fluff your pillows. But it's... More

I travelled throughout Italy with my daughter using primarily rail as our main transportation. This guest house was fairly reasonably priced, and approximately 600-700 meters from the train station which is good because we typically have a heavy pack to carry. We walked to the accomodation easily, although, it was not the easiest to find. There are no lifts, so... More

We only booked this hotel as there was no accomodatino left in Florence. The rooms are very basic but clean. The toilets do not flush properly. The rooms were very noisey - mainly because of people shouting from the nearby hotel pool and bar. There is no breakfast and the recommended place next door is very average. On the plus... More

Negative aspects: * Tired and not so clean bathroom: Probably fine for some people, but not for me. This was the worst bathroom I've ever had to use in a hotel. * Tiny breakfast area: They served breakfast in a really tiny room. When I walked into the room I was looking around to find the rest of the breakfast... More

We toured Italy for our honeymoon and our last stop was in Florence. We chose this location based on other reviews. Also, because it was more middle of the road in terms of pricing. If I could go back in time I would have sucked it up and paid more for a hotel room. Although the main areas in the... More

The hotel was very close to the main station but it was not very well maintained. There was no staff at night and basically no one you could turn up to in case of a problem. The free WiFi is only in the lobby and not in the rooms. The A/C was not working either. Overall a very gloomy kind... More
