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.

Great location but it was not a 4 Start hotel.

Verified Expedia guest review

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!
