Loved my stay! Nice location with plenty of restaurants and shopping just seconds away. We were just a quick walk from the train station. We slept very well in comfortable beds/bedding and our rooms were spacious ! Staff so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was great and happy it was included in our room fee! I would stay here over and over!!
Fantastic hotel right in the heart of all to do in Florence. Make sure to ask the concierge to help you with reservations at Buca Mario. Incredible food and service. Ciao!
Wonderful hotel, great location. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff very attentive and helpful. The pool and rooftop view are the star attraction! We were also upgraded to a jr. suite which was very kind of the staff. A more expensive hotel but well worth it.
As I said to the desk agent when we checked out, it’s not a four star hotel but a five star. Perfect location in the piazza, a short walk from the train station. Minutes away from the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi and all of the shopping anyone needs. This was our third trip to Florence and we’ll stay there again on our fourth trip.
We stayed in the Romance Suite, it was VERY spacious, two bathrooms, comfortable bed, sitting area, and a balcony - though not wide enough to sit, it was long enough to walk.
Rooftop pool with lots of space to lounge and get a drink at the rooftop bar. Very classy and high quality throughout. Good location, quiet. Amazing staff.
Fantastic Hotel and location. Minutes walk from the Train Station. Was upgraded on arrival which was a great touch, friendly staff and good choice of Buffet Breakfast. Small Roof Top Swimming Pool and Bar, which is rare in the area.
Florence is stunning and great for Designer Shopping.
