Very good location, within five minutes walk from Station to Hotel, the lift is very classic one, but unfortunately, we can't open the door during my stay there. The staff are nice and helpful, help to make reservation for Uffizi Gallery, good breakfast, the wardorde of my room is a antique. Good value for money. more

Stayed for 6 nights. Booked based on reviews and pictures on the hotel's website. The location is excellent. The room we got does not at all describe the pictures on the website and I feel I was mislead. Our room had a queen bed in it and a huge, wall to wall closet in front of it. No tables, etc.... more

I was wondering why no pictures of front of Hotel. Each floor of building is a different Hotel and Desiree is on the third floor. Other than that the hotel turned out to be much better than our initial feeling. Close to train station which was a real plus for us. more

The hotel is very near the train station. I found the staff to be very nice and the room adequate for all my needs. I would highly recommend the hotel. I did not find the room noisy as others have mentioned. Good value. more

The hotel is very close to the train station which is great considering you don't want to drag you luggage through Florence. The elevator was very small, but like many other ones I've seen in Italy. Our room was adequate and actually pretty cute and the staff were very nice and helpful. The only problems that I had with the... more

Location is good (walking distance to train station). Any site in Fiorenze is easily walkable from this hotel. Rooms are utterly adequate, but with tiny showers. Street outside can be noisy. There is a laptop in the room and Internet access is cheap (6 euros a day) BUT they require that the Internet fee be paid in cash separate from... more

We were pleased to arrive to find the hotel so close to the train station which made us closeby to the main sites in Florence and it was easy for daytrips out of Florence. The reception and room itself was slightly disappointing. It was traditional decor but the bathroom was fairly run down with leaking taps and toliet. Having seen... more

I came by chance bec. the other hotel I booked was oversold, to my surprise I had a lovely room (see fotos) . Breakfast was ample, the same as you could expect anywhere else. Croissants, breads, cakes with jams. Meat slices and cheeses. Orange and multivitamin juice, coffee, tea. Prepackaged croissants as well. I was at the end of the... more

Our room was fine although a bit noisy overlooking a service area where someone seemed to be throwing bottles into a recycling bin every night very late. Troubled by mossies. Breakfast was very poor, we have no expectation greater than a decent coffee and a pastry of some sort, given this is Italy the coffee was dreadful and dispensed from... more
