“Not sure whose 'Idea' this hotel was - bad”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 7, 2012

We were lured into this hotel by the price and its quote of "easy access to the city centre by bus."

We were greeted by overflowing rubbish bins and an incredibly rude receptionist. All of the facilities that were quoted as available were completely unavailable...no bar, no water in the rooms, no hairdryer and while there was a bus journey to the city centre, you had to walk 400m, catch a bus to some place we didn't understand because hte receptionist couldn't be bothered to explain properly, and then catch a tram.

Don't stay here, it's not a cheap alternative, it's a frustrating, miserable place. Luckily we only had one night.

“Clean hotel, outside Florence”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2012

The hotel itself nice, but I don't think it should be a 4 star hotel. A nice 3 star hotel is more like it. The staff was friendly, the rooms are a good size and the breakfast is good. The hotel is outside the city of Florence (11km) but you can get to Florence using public transportation. You'll have to take bus #26 to the tram station, and then the tram to the train station in Florence. It takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on how well you time the bus. At first I was little skeptical, but the fact that it was outside of Florence was not an issue for us. We would leave the hotel after breakfast, go to Florence for the whole day, and go back to the hotel by 9pm. The public transportation was reliable, and the hotel is in a quiet location.

If you like to go back to your hotel for naps, or if you like to go out late at night...this hotel is not for you. I would suggest you find something inside the city of Florence. If your schedule is more like mine (9am to 9 pm), this hotel works well.

“Good Value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2012

We stayed for 2 night's and we had a car. The hotel is outside the city in industrial area, so if you don't have a car I wouldn't recommend to stay there. It's about 15 minutes by car from downtown, so keep that in mind. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Parking is free in front of the hotel.

“Can Hardly be called an hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2012

Outside the city,nothing else in the area ,no restaurant,internet not working,phone in the room not working,and the staff did not try to solve the problems.We had to go and change the phones between rooms in order to make a phone call. At breakfast,there was not enough staff and there was no food. the only positive thing i can say about this hotel is that it is clean.

“Very basic”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2012

We stayed for 1 night and overall it was ok. The hotel is outside the city in industrial area, so if you don't have a car I wouldn't recommend to stay there. There are no restaurants or pizza nearby, you need to drive to find smth. A room was clean and basic as well, almost no furniture, just a bed and desk.
