Warm and friendly atmosphere for this family-owned hotel with a charming "retrò" flavour. Located at 15min walking distance from Florence city centre, it is the perfect stay for those who look for an authentic florentine experience, far from those posh and design accomodations, at an affordable price. I have been there for a long weekend with my boyfriend and we... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in June. Read what all the other reviewers say, and then look for a better place to stay. This place is truly a dump. More

Fortunately I've spent only one night in this hotel (the last!) together with my girlfriend. I wonder how it can be possible to assign four stars to this bad hotel. First of all the external: the building is old and not maintained, it seems that since it was built it has not been handled. The reception is quite acceptable (but... More

The secret is the roof top deck. We stopped by stores and the market and bought supplies for picnic dinners. You can watch the sunset over Florence and eat your fill of meat, cheese, and wine! More

I am in the travel business since 1970, that means 41 years travelling a lot. I never been guest and that kind of hotel. Horrible in all aspects. Since that I never use the same tour operator in Europe that booked us in that depressing hotel. I wonder who gave 4 falling stars to that place???? More

PROS: - we stayed with a tour group and we seemed to be one of the lucky ones - we got a double room on the top floor - it was a spacious room, with a very big bathroom - there is an air con in the room, though it is a bit too noisy to sleep with on CONS:... More

Its a long walk - 35 minutes at least- from the city centre with no amenities nearby. Staff although pleasant enough were not particularly helpful, due mainly I suspect to a language barrier. Breakast was dreadful - 1cereal only - all week, Orange and fruit squash- not juice. Poor choice of yoghurt,only natural on one occassion. Croissants tasted stale. Also... More
