Room was nice, clean and cozy. Sink drained slowly due to hair being trapped in the sink drain. However, after checking out and receiving my car back from the recommended parking (S. Antonio Garage) by the front desk agent, our bag and gifts had been removed. i hope that you will look into better security for the guest that decide to stay at your property and using the recommended parking suggested by you staff.

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

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

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!
