The best thing for me about this hotel is its brilliant location, located 5mins walk from the train station and less to the Piazza del Duomo, with the Baptistery, Giotto's Campanile and of course the Santa Maria del Fiore. This hotel gives you the ability to walk every where you need to, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi - the list... More

We loved the location of this hotel. It was a perfect distance from the train station and all the major sights. We walked everywhere from this hotel. The service from the staff was great, they were very helpful finding restaurants and other off the beaten path activities. The rooms were well sized and comfortable. Great Value

Our hotel was 4 star and lived up to expectations. We faced an old church and the bells would ring in the morning. Breakfast was served on the balcony overlooking Al Duomo which was breath taking.

I'm currently staying at the hotel. It's very nice and rooms are spacious. It was very easy to get to from Santa Maria Novella. Our room is facing out onto a busy street but the windows are double (maybe triple) glazed so there is absolutely no noise. My one criticism, which appears to relate to most Italian hotels is that...

Great location. Comfortable rooms. The breakfast was ok...nothing special but a great view. The staff was very nice. The location was easy to walk to local attractions. Be careful when opening the windows because the room will fill with mesquitos and bugs.
