The hotel offers spacious rooms with some nice furniture, although some may find them smaller than expected in Florence. The decor is somewhat kitschy, and the bathrooms are on the smaller side. The location is convenient for exploring the city on foot but requires a walk through dimly lit streets. The dining options are decent with a good variety of food available. Service is friendly, but some aspects like loud music during cleaning may be off-putting.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, very close to major Florence attractions and the train station, but the noise from the street and neighboring apartments made it hard to sleep. The service was disappointing as the staff came across as rude and unaccommodating. The dining options were limited, but the hotel provided some nice touches like custom coffee orders. Overall, the value for money was questionable due to the various downsides.

My stay at the hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways. The rooms were very nice and much bigger than expected, though there was an issue with a trap door for a water tank that didn't close properly, leading to some mosquitoes in the room. The service was mixed, with some instances of staff being too busy to assist us promptly, but they were accommodating overall. The location turned out to be great, just a short walk away from the main attractions but still peaceful. The dining options were somewhat limited, but the quality was generally good. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor inconveniences.
