Room that slept 3. Upstairs. No elevator. We only stayed one night. Super close to Florence train station. Part of a larger hotel on the premises. This one was the economy brand. Basically, all we did was sleep there. Off to Pisa in the morning…
Very close to SMN train station. They kept our bag for us after checkout so we can still enjoy Florence for the rest of the day.
WiFi was spotty inside our bedroom but as soon as you step out into the hallway the signal is stronger.
I really enjoyed my stay here with reasonable price. Although the check-in location was different from the actual accommodation place, I actually found this more convenient—it allowed me to use two different entrances that suited my travel plans.
If you're visiting Florence in the summer, the air conditioning here works excellently—even feels cool and refreshing. The room was also more spacious than general standard hotel rooms, which made the stay certain degree comfortable.
The only 3 stars out of 5 on this property is due to its location. It's a 3 min walk to the train station and 5-10 mins to San Lorenzo market and dining around Santa Maria Novella.
For U$260/night in late Sep/early Oct, room is in a depressing state with wallpaper peeling off, lamps attached to wall are uneven, and everything looks extremely old including the tiny bathroom.
Just no real complaints to do with the hotel except upon leaving the building by a side doorway opening I was using hand rails and someone who owned building had a metal doos open that I cut two fingers on leaving the building

Checking in was difficult in the hotel. The hotel has a shared reception but no English description how to access the reception room.
The location is convenient, however the suite lacks good maintenance: night table light doesn't work, wall paper is peeling, hooks don't stay in place, drainage is slow, the bathroom has strong sewage smell and the bed sheet has stains on it that I had to ask to change it upon our arrival...the pictures on their website are deceiving, not worth the money!
Limpeza excelente! Cama confortável! Pertinho da estacão e perto das praças que são ponto de saida para os passeios da Toscana. Fizemos tudo a pé! Florença é linda a noite!
Quarto amplo, enorme, extremamente limpo e confortável. Um bom chuveiro. Apesar de ser no centro, o quarto era muito silencioso! Adoramos!

Fiquei encantada com a experiência! A localização facilitou muito os passeios, tudo era acessível a pé ou de transporte público. O quarto estava impecável, extremamente limpo e confortável. Foi uma estadia tranquila, prática e muito agradável. Voltaria com certeza!
