El aire acondicinado no funcionaba, teniamos que abrir la ventana para que entrara un poco de aire frio, y cuando abria la ventana entraba mucho olor a cigarrillo y mucho ruido. Los alrededores en el hotel olian mucho a clorox

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The location was great and the staff was amazing. However, there was this odor that emanated from the bathroom or the staircase near our room that was very off putting and odious. They should not let anyone use that room til they address the issue
Está muy bonito el hotel, el personal del hotel fue muy amable, es súper céntrico para ver lugares turísticos y no tan turísticos, puedes caminar y llegar fácil a todos lados, está a menos de 5 min de la estación de tren.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Stay – Highly Recommend!
Our stay was absolutely superb! The breakfast was delicious, especially the variety of croissants that my kids absolutely loved. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the staff at the reception were truly amazing. A special thank-you to Andrew, who was exceptionally helpful and made our stay even better.
The only issue we experienced was that the internet never worked during our visit, but everything else was perfect. Despite that, we would definitely love to stay here again. Highly recommended!
The room was sketchy from the start, the antiques in the room felt like they were going to break, no amenities, staff didnt do anything to make it better, mold in bathroom dont recommend

This stay was excellent. The hotel staff is very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and comfortable, and very clean. The location is very centric and there are plenty of places to eat and shop.
An absolutely fantastic stay! Check-in was a breeze, and the staff were exceptionally helpful. The unbeatable location made sightseeing easy, and we loved retreating to the truly huge rooms. A special highlight was the breakfast, which offered an amazing variety of food. We highly recommend this hotel!
So this little hotel is in a very busy area - simply trying to walk down the street with your luggage feels like you’re navigating an obstacle course. At 2 am we were watching from our balcony the drunk people down on the street (very amusing). That being said, it’s in a very convenient location if you’re there to see the sights of Florence. We were able to walk to almost everything. The furthest away point of interest in our itinerary was probably the Piazzale de Michelangelo where people go to watch the sunset. The staff was nice and accommodating. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Rooftop bar served as a lovely way to sit and relax with a glass of wine after a long day of walking and sightseeing. And the breakfast is so good! For the price you really can’t go wrong here!
Definitely needs an update, rooms are old, and the walls are scratched and old. This hotel was not inexpensive at all. Definitely need to change some things, i would not return or recommend.
