First time in Florence. Chose this hotel for our 4 night stay as we wanted an authentic Italian feel & location looked good. We certainly weren't disappointed. Location is great, 5 minutes walk from the train station & about a 10 minute walk to the Duomo. Very friendly staff on the reception desk & at breakfast. Breakfast was absolutely worth it, plenty of choice both hot & cold. Room was lovely, nice big comfortable bed, large tv, large shower which was powerful & great temperature. Kettle & tea & coffee facilities provided. Fridge in room & large wardrobe. Maid service was excellent, nice clean fresh towels & bed made up. Toiletries were provided. Fresh water & snacks provided in reception area was a nice touch. We were floor 2 & a lift is available if required. Would 100% recommend this hotel, we debated between this one & a more modern one but we are so pleased we went with the authentic choice. Sad to leave but we've had a fabulous time.
