I did not realize when I booked this hotel that Old Bridge (Ponte Vecchio) is one of the most touristy areas in Florence. Therefore the price for the hotel was higher than it might have been for the same quality elsewhere. The hotel was clean, the staff was nice, and breakfast was good. We were not able to enjoy eating on the terrace because of the weather but the view of the Pitti Palace and surrounding area was spectacular. Main problem was furnishings. There was a closet for hanging clothes, but no dresser. I asked at the desk for a dresser but she seemed puzzled, like that was an unusual request. She asked if there was not room for our clothes, and I said yes, on a narrow counter that ran along one wall, but that seems odd to stack your clothes on a ledge. She said there was no room for a dresser (which there was, an alcove that had nothing in it) but she could send up a table, which I declined (no difference between that and the ledge). Otherwise the staff was helpful and friendly, called us a taxi (which did not show up, so they called another, which did right away). The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom well-outiftted. In the future, I would stay at a hotel off the beaten path both to get a better value room and to get away from the crowds, but that's just me.
