First of all it is hard to find and get into. On the plus side it is in a great position, centrally located to every thing and has good Internet service and clean bathroom but that is where it finishes. Very small odd shaped room (6 ) with a very small wardrobe that sits out of the corner that you... More

We stayed for 3 nights and were pleasantly surprised by the friendly and helpful staff and the cleanliness of the hotel. It goes without saying that the hotel's location could not be better, as it is near to all of the major sites in the centre of Florence.

The hotel is very well located, very central, really close to the Piazza della Signoria. The bedroom is not so big but appropriate for a couple of nights. The staff is friendly and helpful. We recommend it!

Our room was of a decent size, with a private bathroom. The room was tidied up but we were never given fresh towels (and the towels there were resemble a sheet more than a towel in their lack of absorbency.) The noise one of the three nights we were there was so loud that even with the air conditioning going... More

We stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The entrance is easy to walk past (as we did), there is a sign and you just have to ring the bell to be let in. We were greeted by a really friendly lady who showed us to our room. She also gave us a map and recommended somewhere to... More

Hotel is easy to find and is in a great location. The staff were very nice. Great wifi. We had a double room with private bathroom. Although our room faced the street with a very nice view of all the action, we didn't find the noise to be a problem (especially if the A/C was on). Our room had a... More

This hotel is located right next to the Uffizi. The people working there were very friendly. Ines was extremely kind, and very helpful in reserving tickets for us to the Uffizi and Accademia. The room was clean. It can be noisy at night given the location, but there is a fan in the room which helped to drown out the... More

The apartment is only a block from the Ufizzi, two blocks from the Duomo and three from the ponte vecchio, so you're right in the thick of Florence. The rooms were clean, well lit and a reasonable size. The owner is also the manager, who met us when we arrived and unexpectedly showed us around the neighborhood - he showed... More
