As others have mentioned, the location is the best feature of this hotel. I enjoyed the breakfast/ dining room and the very adequate room (clean, small, balcony, good light...). Negatives include the very spotty wifi and tv reception and the front desk staff that wasn't especially friendly or helpful. (I always felt like I was interrupting and annoying them even... More

This hotel is in an amazing location...right on the edge of the Ponte vecchio. We took a taxi from the station but you could walk it if your luggage wasn't heavy and you knew where you were going! we loved our view of the street scene...very noisy when the widow was open but complete silence when closed. So close to... More

I splurged a bit during my two-day stay in Florence, and really enjoyed this hotel, in the oltrarno, just on the other side of the Ponte Vecchio bridge. Stunning views of Florence rooftops and sites from the restaurant and terrace! Although, I would note I wasn't as impressed with the limited breakfast selection. Makes for a convenient location--I walked to... More

Where better for just a night in Florence? As the real estate novelists say "It's all about location", and, in this case, it really is. We stayed here 14 years ago - the hotel has been renovated since then and was really nice. I foundnthe staff to be a little stand-offish, but the room we had was excellent and I... More

We got off the train and got lost straight away. Should have taken a taxi but thought it was only a short walk so set off with some wonderful local instructions in completely the wrong direction (I'm sure he is still laughing about stitching us up). 1 and 1/2 hours later we asked another young local for directions and he...

Location is amazing. Price is reasonable. Room is good enough for spoiled Americans. Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean rooms with OCD maid service. Beds were typical European beds. Being unfamiliar with European air conditioning systems, we opened the window to cool down. We did not ask for help and should have. We opened the window and were awakened by... More

This hotel has a great location in the heart of Florence. Our room was very small and there were various minor issues with the door not closing easily, lots of noise until around midnight since we were on the second floor overlooking a very busy pedestrian street, the TV not working well on Eng. speaking channels, some "attitude" on the...

Arriving at Florence's main train station (Santa Maria Novella) we took a short taxi ride (10 Euros) through the narrow streets and laneways, and what a zippy ride it was. We arrived at the foot of the Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in Florence amid the swirling mass of locals and visitors. The hotel looked clean and modern with European... More

This hotel is one of those typical European hotels that has carved out fascinating rooms and hallways from the decades or centuries of combining with the adjacent buildings or from renovations. It is full of interesting little secrets, but it is also immaculately clean, has a multi-lingual staff, a completely updated bathroom, and a wonderful roof-top terrace with the most... More

We stayed here last summer the location is great beside the Ponte Vecchio. The rooms are clean but not spacious. It's close to all the main attaction. The roof top terrace is great to relax after a long day visiting all the attraction in Florence. I would recommend to eat at Mamma Gina just a walk from the Hotel. Best... More
