Booked this hotel based on trip advisor reviews..A charming hotel with wood beams in the ceiling, in a great location close to all main sights(less than 20 minute walk to Duomo) Train station (2 blocks) and the well hidden bus station are near by. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful (carried the luggage up the stairs and answering questions) and the breakfast have good variety (loved the pastries) though the egg omelet tasted funny, No outside noise, air conditioning worked great in the middle of the summer, and the rooms were clean and comfy, though they need newer pillows. I would definitely stay here again in Florence and would highly recommend the hotel.
