Guest Reviews
- William (7/5): -
- Nicola (8/5): Always love every minute of Florence - hotel is great. - Friendly and helpful staff, room clean and comfortable, air con, decent breakfast. The street noise could be loud at times.
Just slightly further out of the centre than I have previously stayed - not as quick to nip back to the room
- Evangelia (7/5): Καλο ξενοδοχειο, αντιπροσωπευτικό των φωτογραφιων δεν υπηρχε κατι το τοσο κακο στη διαμονη μας. Ηταν ολοι ευγενεστατοι κ - Πολυ ευγενικο προσωπικο και καθαρος χωρος γενικα. το δωματιο μας αν και καθαρο και αρκετα κοντα με τις φωτογραφιες Το δωματιο ηταν πολυ μικρο οριακα χωρουσαν οι βαλιτσες μας, το μπανιο ομως ηταν καλο και ανακαινισμενο. η περιοχη ειναι κεντρικη περιπου 7-8 λεπτα με τα ποδια αλλα οχι και η καλυτερη καθως αποτι καταλαβα δεν ειναι τουριστικη, ειναι περιοχη που μενουν μεταναστες κυριως. Το πρωινο ικανοποιητικο αλλα δυστυχως ειδα να πετουν εντομα πανω απο καποια φαγητα.
- Jan (7/5): -
- Pat (9/5): - Central to sights snd to lots of restaurants. Easy get to train station. Folks in reception bery friendly.
- Juliana (10/5): Gente o melhor hotel, só vá sem medo de ser feliz. - Tudo, o quarto, banheiro, localização. Excelente Gostei de tudo.
- Seda (10/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): - Comfortable stay and nicely decorated rooms
- Anders Johnny (10/5): Tre nätter i Florens - Nära centrum och nära till centralstationen .
Även nära buss stationen när vi åkte en busstur till Siena. Bra frukost , trots lite problem med frukosten ena dagen lyckades man få ihop det ändå .
Hjälpsam personal , kunde lämna in bagaget tidigare och hämta efter utcheckning av rummet också.
Bra rum och bra sängar . Ingen lyx men rent och snyggt . Badrummet mycket bra.
Återkommer gärna
- Michail (9/5): -
- pablo (10/5): - Excelente ubicación y el personal muy amable
- Jonathan (9/5): Had a wonderful stay and would do again on next visit. - Location was great. Very friendly staff. Shower was a little difficult since it is open water would get on the floor and make it slippery very easily.
- Chapiro (9/5): Très bon choix à Florence - Hotel bien situé, joliment décoré. Personnel très agréable et souriant. Chambre très propre avec un lit confortable. Gros plus : les visites guidées incluses dans le prix de la chambre avec une charmante florentine, je recommande ! Il manque des portes serviettes, mais à part ça la chambre est bien équipée avec clim et frigo
- Tim (7/5): nice hotel, location and staff. shame about the shower flooding! - Very nice service at arrival, departure and breakfast the shower didn't drain properly and flooded the bedroom. it was cleaned quickly, but before we notice some clothes and shoes had got wet.
- Riley (8/5): -
- MARIAE (9/5): - Es muy cómodo, limpio y de muy buen gusto
- gilles (9/5): -
- Wolfgang (8/5): -
- Cécile (9/5): - Emplacement exceptionnel, personnel adorable, très bon rapport qualité prix.
- Soraya (8/5): - Emplacement non loin de la gare à pieds. Hôtel situé dans une rue passante. Je n'ai pas dormi là bas donc je ne peux pas donner mon avis sur le bruit.
- Gabriella (7/5): -
- Narbal Ataliba (9/5): Satisfeito. - Satisfatório. Recomendo.
- Nikoleta (10/5): - It was an excellent stay. We joined the complimentary tour with Claudia who was absolutely fabulous and showed us some hidden gems and the oldest pharmacy in Italy. When we came back to do our check-in, the luggage was already in our room. There was soap, cream, and everything essential in the room. The sound isolation wasn't perfect and since I'm sensitive to sound, I woke up couple of times during the night.
- Sandra (10/5): Great Location - Central location. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable. Air con was quite loud and couldn't adjust it.
- Emily (10/5): Amazing time discovering Florence. - The location was great. We could walk everywhere. The beds are hard but I think that is most places in Europe.
- Masahiko (9/5): 日本人一人旅 - フィレンツェSMN駅から徒歩圏内でil Mercatoにも近い。部屋はコンパクトですが清潔で一人旅には十分。スタッフも親切でした。 特にないですが、強いて言うなら駅からの道が一部工事中で歩道が使えなかったことぐらいです。
- hui kiu (4/5): 間房臭,影響睡眠 - 位置好,離車站12分鐘。行去其他景點,如中央市場很方便。附近有超市。行嘅過程冇乜危險感覺。毛巾有消毒。前台有禮 浴室下水道有臭味。冷氣點較都係25度,很熱。水壓細,經常得熱水。開左do not disturb 嘅燈,都係有入房
- Cordula (9/5): Florenz ganz nah - Die Lage ist hervorragend. Man kommt zu Fuß sehr gut zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Das Badezimmer war sehr gut ausgestattet.
- noelle (8/5): -
- Maria Francesca (10/5): Un alloggio accogliente, a pochi passi dal centro storico e dalla stazione, lo consigliamo! - Staff gentilissimo e sempre disponibile, colazione ottima, posizione comoda. Le fontanelle di acqua potabile per riempire le borracce sono state preziose! Abbiamo avuto qualche difficoltà a regolare la temperatura dell'aria condizionata, alla fine abbiamo chiamato lo staff per farla chiudere ma ci avrebbe fatto comodo poter scegliere autonomamente la temperatura per la nostra camera
- Fredrik (10/5): The perfect stay in the perfect location! -
- Andreea (10/5): - Camera confortabila si curata, personal amabil si mic dejun gustos
Amplasarea foarte buna aproape de toate obiectivele turistice Camera destul de mica
- Beatrice (9/5): -
- Faith (7/5): Nice hotel but could do with a few little tweaks to make it that bit better - Property was in a great location with lots of fabulous restaurants near by and train station was a short walk away too The curtains were a sheer material and there was another hotel directly across from our room so it felt like we didn’t have a lot of privacy even with the curtains closed. The sheer curtains also meant that the morning light would flood in at Sun rise.
Also the lack of plugs around the room, the one plug next to our bed was broken so it meant we had to charge all of our devices on the floor or in the bathroom
- Emre (7/5): Tren istasyonu yakın olsun diyorsanız güzel bir seçenek. - Çalışanların ilgisi, temizlik Bulunduğu konum belli bir saatten sonra tekin hissettirmedi.
- Joseph (10/5): This was one of the best hotels I visited during 20 years of holiday travel. - The location close to significant points of interest by 20 minutes walk. Nothing except that they didn't prepare a box with breakfast since we were leaving at 5.00 am. I don't consider this critical but it could be a plus.
- Angelos (10/5): - Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία, το δωμάτιο ευρύχωρο και καθαρό. Το πρωινό αρκετά καλο για την τιμη του
- Macedo (10/5): Muito Top - Quarto e Pessoal
- Linda (7/5): Convenient comfortable hotel - Clean, modern, central location, good bathroom Street noise makes it impossible to keep the window open. Glazing was very effective at keeping the noise out, but we could not cool the room effectively with the aircon. (It was April, we prefer to sleep in a cool room).
- Matthieu (8/5): - La propreté, la déco et la proximité des grands sites touristiques et de la gare Salle de bain un peu étroite. Il faudrait un endroit où accrocher des serviettes ou habits.
- Ghislaine (10/5): Hotel trés agréable et bien situé. Donne envie d’y revenir - L’accueil de Frederika vraiment sympa , dynamique et professionnelle , la décoration des parties communes , la chambre petite mais confortable , propre, le petit déjeuner complet et servi dans la bonne humeur ! RAS mais quand même un bruit de soufflerie trés fort, climatisation peut être ? mais comme on ne restait qu’une journée ça allait. Sinon on serait aller le signaler.
- Goran (7/5): -
- Sophie (10/5): Had a great time, the location was great yet it was very quiet at night. Frederica went above and beyond to help us with - Everything was very efficiently run and the room was very comfortable and clean. Great location, staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The coffee was not great from the machine. We would have liked some slightly heather options for breakfast aswell.
- Divya (8/5): Good location and proximity to everything you want. - It’s very close to the station and everything to visit was at walking distance. The staff was very sweet and helpful with everything and the breakfast is also good. Everything was good
- VALDEMAR (9/5): -
- Jankova (9/5): - Really nice bathroom and people
- alice (8/5): -
- pereira dos santos (10/5): -
- Jose Manuel (10/5): Green-eyed savings at this Venice hotel - Excellent rates for solo traveler staying for a couple days. Air conditioning doesn't kick on until May.
- Joaquina (10/5): Todo perfecto - El trato, la limpieza y ubicación
- Elena (8/5): -
- Gorka (8/5): Ubicación excelente comodidad mejorable. - La ubicación. Que el aire acondicionado no se pudiese apagar y hubiese que pedir a recepción que lo apagaran.
Demasiado ruido en la habitación la primera noche. Probablemente por el aire acondicionado.
- Francisco (10/5): -
- Gilles (9/5): - Agréable
- Kalliopi (8/5): -
- Manos Karydis (9/5): Everything was good - Very clean,excellent location at the centre.
- JULIA TERESA (9/5): - La amabilidad del personal y la limpieza además las camas muy confortables Los muebles una son muy viejos y disminuyen mucho la calidad del hotel.
- Chrisdas (8/5): - sound proofing could be better. We had a bit of noise from the street.
Otherwise we had a good experience with the hotel!
- Irene (8/5): - Καθαρό δωμάτιο, φιλόξενοι υπάλληλοι, τελεια τοποθεσία Μικρό δωμάτιο
- Antonino (10/5): -
- Diane (10/5): Super overnight stay in Florence . - It was very central and bed comfortable.
The staff on reception were very helpful and friendly. Particularly Federica. The water pressure in the shower was low.
- Erika (9/5): -
- Anthony (9/5): Lovely spacious room full of character. Very friendly and helpful staff. - The hotel is in an ideal position - less than 10minutes from the station and also within 10 minutes of the main piazza’s and Il Duomo.
- Ana Clara (10/5): Experiência excelente! - Localização excelente, fui a pé para todos os pontos turísticos e também para a estação de trem, com malas.
Ambiente super agradável e aconchegante. Quarto grande, cama muito confortável. Banheiro novinho, chuveiro com água bem quente. Café da manhã delicioso. Atendimento da equipe foi muito bom. Voltaria mais vezes! Amei a experiência! .
- Olivia (8/5): -
- Emilia (6/5): -
- Maka (8/5): - The main plus of the hotel is its location, within walking distance of all the attractions. It is an old but clean hotel, cleaned every day and quite well. The room was small (112) but had a nice little balcony. The breakfast is not very varied, but you will not go hungry, the staff is quite friendly. It is an old, clean, average hotel in a good location.
- Juliana Aparecida (10/5): -
- Filippo (8/5): -
- Rubén (7/5): -
- Marica (9/5): -
- MARÍA ISABEL (10/5): Todo muy bien el personal súper amable - La poca luz en el lavabo no iría mal un espejo de aumento
- Aron (5/5): Nice room, well located but a little overpriced for what is offered. Certainly the worst but not memorable. - Clean, comfortable, well situated for key locations with a cute rustic room aesthetic. The staff were all also very pleasant and supportive, allowing us to leave bags before heading to our next stop in Florence. Water pressure was poor and inconsistent. The room facilities were not great at all. The area is also loud and plagued by the local students in the evenings. Dispite not being local to a big bar or so on, it is a busy street for both foot and vehicle traffic.
Breakfast was poor & I would highly recommend eating out.
- Silvano (8/5): - Cordialità Nulla
- Evelyn (9/5): Uma boa opção - Localização próxima aos principais pontos principais de Florença; café da manhã muito bom.
- Marco (10/5): -
- maryjj2026 (10/5): Have Returned and Will Again - Excellent location and very helpful staff who all speak English which was helpful to us. The fact the hotel has an elevator is welcome. The breakfast is good and plentiful. It’s easy to walk to the major sites in Central Florence, the Santa Maria Novella Train Station, and the Piazzale Montelungo from which my tour buses depart.
- Fabrice (10/5): Wonderful hotel, super close to the train station, wonderful food court, and main attractions - Hotel is very nice and the room for Italy was large. Hotel front desk spoke great English and lobby is staffed 24 hours. the hotel is super convenient to the Florence train station - less than a 10 minute walk - go straight of out of the train station and hang a left on the road and hotel is 10 minutes down on your right. Hotel is next to all the main attractions in city center. theres a wonderful food market to blocks away that had an amazing food court. Great selection of food and drinks for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The hotel was very clean, staff is super friendly. Bed could of been a little softer.

- Viviane (10/5): -
- Martin (7/5): Italienischer Charme in zentraler Lage - Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insbesondere Cristina an der Rezeption. Das Zimmer war sauber jedoch nicht sehr groß. Für Alleinreisende reicht der Platz. Im Bett lässt es sich gut schlafen. Die Matratze ist eher in Richtung hart. Dies ist Geschmacksache - für mich sehr angenehm.
Das Highlight für mich war das renovierte Badezimmer inklusive Bidet.
Die Lage des Hotels ist unschlagbar! Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in 10 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Schallisolierung zwischen den Zimmern ist gut, jedoch hört man sehr genau was auf dem Flur los ist und die Zimmertüren fallen laut zu. Die Abwasserleitungen gluckern manchmal vor sich hin. Dies ist auch im Zimmer zu hören. Mit Ohrstöpsel lässt es sich gut schlafen.
Die Auswahl beim Frühstück ist eher übersichtlich - für den Preis ist es okay.
- Marilyn (10/5): -
- Soto Ibarreche (9/5): -
- Francesca (9/5): - camera davvero carina, comoda e pulita. personale super cortese e disponibile
- Frasik (8/5): - Very nice and clean room. Good location. An incident during breakfast on March 19th.
I was publicly shamed and embarrassed by a member of the breakfast staff in front of other guests. In a rude and ostentatious manner, she lectured me simply for checking the freshness of a single slice of bread. Such a trivial situation, which happens commonly at breakfasts, was used as a pretext to humiliate me publicly. I felt deeply embarrassed and stressed.
I believe I had every right to check if the bread was fresh (it turned out to be stale). The atmosphere of suspicion, constant monitoring of guests, and public reprimands are completely unacceptable in a hotel of this standard. I travel frequently, and this is the first time I have encountered such an unpleasant situation. The hotel should teach its employees basic manners and discretion. This experience was extremely uncomfortable and distressing for me.

- Virginia (10/5): -
- YOSHI (5/5): まあまあかな。 - 朝食に提供されるパンが、ここで作っているものなのかどうかは分からないが、できたてでどのパンも美味しかった。 ・シャワールームと手洗いのお湯が安定しない。
具体的には、しばらく45度以上の高温しか出ず(レバーを動かしても水温は下がらず)閉口した。15分程度、放置(お湯を出しっぱなしに)していると通常の温度調整が可能にはなったが。
・木のデスクの表面がベトベトしている感じで、清潔ではないと感じた。
- Conte (10/5): - Lo staff gentilissimo, professionale e molto bella anche l' iniziativa del tour turistico.
- Gianluca (9/5): -
- Sergio (7/5): -
- Marcelo Annoni (10/5): Excelente para unos días en Florencia. Ciudad maravillosa! - Excelente opción en Florencia! En la habitación, todo muy bien, baño, cama, espacio. El desayuno (no incluído) es bueno, pero lo tomamos un solo día. La ubicación es fantástica! a pocos minutos de la Catedral, a pocos metro de La Academia, para ver el David, a 600 metros de la estación de tren, a la vuelta del Mercado Central, con opciones muy buenas para comer o comprar, genial! Tiene un pequeño ascensor por si las valijas pesan. Relación precio - calidad excelente para unos días en Florencia. Ciudad maravillosa! Nada. La pasamos muy bien!
- Anaïs (8/5): -
- Francisca (7/5): -
- Ronald (8/5): - Eenvoudig maar goed ontbijt.
Uitstekend locatie vlak bij centrum bezienswaardigheden en station.
- Mona06 (9/5): - A szállás 6 perc sétára van a pályaudvartól, a Dómtól mindössze 10 percre, így az elhelyezkedése kiváló. A szoba tiszta, rendezett volt. A reggeli során lehetett sós és édes opciók közül is választani, figyeltek arra, hogy azonnal töltsék fel azokat az élelmiszereket, amik elfogytak.
Ár-érték arányban jó választás.
- lucia (10/5): -
- Ildegarda (8/5): Ottimo per vacanze brevi - Vicino al centro ,alla stazione 🚉 e alla fiera Mancanza di isolamento acustico tra le stanze e fuori
