Plus Florence - Hostel
Rapport qualité prix mauvais. Porte-fenêtre laissée ouverte par 2 fois par les femmes de chambre (sachant qu'un balcon était commun avec d'autres chambres). Douche non étanche (et donc de l'eau partout après la douche). "climatiseur" faisant un bruit de fond en permanence et impossible à éteindre. ...
