So lets start from the beginning. The hotel is close to the station and many other places that were to be visited by us in Florence, but so are many other hotels here. The rooms are small and dingy with no décor at all. The bed was creaky and made a lot of noise for every small movement. The room... More

Mature couple from UK. Stopped at this hotel 20th to 25th April 2013. Excellent reception, you can get a drink anytime. Room adequate and clean. Beds comfortable. Very well located if you want to get about on foot or use the train. Would definately stop at this hotel again.

We spend three days at this hotel. It is well located , near train station and bus station. The hotel has elevator for those who have mobility problems, the rooms are clean and and the personnel are helpful. One little problem : rooms on the side could be noisy from groups on the street. I still recommend this hotel for... More

Lived there for 3 days, room was too small, rather huge wardrobe, but not a double room. Poor breakfest, usually eggs, yogurt, cheese and ham. Even the location to the central station is not giving much to this hotel to be considered. On positive side - helpful staff and supermarket near hotel. I would advise to research tripadvisor for better... More

This hotel is ideally located close to the railway station (10 min walk) and easy walking distance to most places around. The checkin process was quick, decent and quiant receptionist who was quite helpful. The room was small and yet cosy.

We chose this hotel because it was close to the station which was ideal when getting the train to Florence. The street it is on is very narrow so if you have huge luggage is can be difficult but we managed. The room itself was fine, it was small but okay for what we needed it for. Average decor, not...

The great thing about Floence is that everything is in easy walking distance from wherever you stay. Proximity to the train station was important to us as we were arriving by train frm Venice and leaving by train from Rome. Sempione was a 10 minute walk with liggsge from the station. We wanted to shop the leather markets and the... More

There is an air-con in the room as well. The only gripe is breakfast can be crowded and the food is not that good. Otherwise location... More

Facilities are old and small. Nothing like the pictures... Wifi did not work in rooms. The sound proofing of the rooms is poor. Unpleasant smelling rooms masked by an even worse air freshener. Perhaps the only room worth staying is the one used in the pictures. Do not be fooled!!

The bathroom was extremely narrow. There was not adequate room in front of the toilet for comfortable use. The rooms are extremely worn with holes in the chair seats and dirty bedspreads. The breakfast room is cramped and unpleasant, with a poor selection of breakfast items. Wifi worked only in the hotel lobby, even though the room was advertised with... More
