Nice Hotel
This hotel is in the center of walkable attractions like Duomo, Statue of David, and Central Market. From the railroad station, a taxi can be between 22 and 28 euros to the hotel, depending on time of day and traffic. There are two small two-person elevator lifts: One from the street to the first floor reception, and one from the first floor to the fourth floor. City tax was paid upfront in cash at check-in. Reception staff was friendly. Rooms were OK, Breakfast was OK in a nice dining area. No pastries. Housekeeping is insistent on changing your towels and making up your bed. Any garbage not in the trash bin will not be picked up. Other than that, nice hotel.

Super location, just a few minute walk from Palazzo Duomo. Lots of places to eat very close by and food was very good. Just a couple minutes walk from several attractions. Hotel was very clean, staff was very helpful, loved out room (except for the hard bed but this seems to be the trend in Italy so beware). Would def stay here again,.

Marvelous location and spacious room. However, as a cuddly sleeper I didn't appreciate falling inbetween the crack of our "queen" bed which was just 2 twins pushed together.

8/10 Very Good

This hotel is very convenient because it’s close to most of all the attractions in Florence. A couple of blocks from the David statue, like 5min walking from the Duomo and the rest. The breakfast was very good and the staff were friendly. The bathroom is big enough but the shower is too small, that’s the only thing I didn’t like about the hotel but besides that I have nothing else to complain. I would definitely recommend it!
