The hotel was nice, the rooms large, breakfast hearty, and the staff was outstanding. They helped us with anything we needed including finding taxis and making reservations at a nearby excellent restaurant.

6/10 Good

We had a very difficult time finding the hotel. The man who checked us in was very nice. However we spent nearly two hours trying to return to our hotel to retrieve our bags the next day from Alamo rental which was only about a 4 block walk. GPS was not accurate directing us back to this hotel. When we arrived, the hotel staff refused to help us load our luggage, since we had no choice but to park in front. It took us a little more time considering we’re two women (I’ve recently had both hips replaced and my back has been fused, so this walk to Alamo was already stressful)! I had managed to park our rental car between motorcycles, out of the way of traffic coming down the one way street, but they still refused to help us leave quickly. A very nice gentleman actually helped me move one of the motorcycles over so I could parallel park next to the curb. Next time I’ll stay at Il Bargelino owned by Carmel and Pino; its location is closer to the train station, costs about $50 less nightly, fabulous rooftop view, and Carmel is from Boston originally. Unfortunately they were totally booked when we planned a stopover in Florence on our way to La Piana B&B, the best place in all Tuscany near Montecatini Terme in Borgo Buggiano, an oasis in the hills above town.

Nice small hotel with great location
Nice hotel in a great location in Florence. Very close to a small grocery store as well as many cafes and restaurants. We were able to walk from here to every site we wanted to see in the city. Also less than 10 Minute walk to the train station.

There is a handy supermarket over the road. The rooms are basic but clean. We had everything we needed. I would stay here again

Nice hotel. Excellent breakfast, pleasant staff. Guests need to walk up one flight of stairs to get to the elevator. Just a warning for those with mobility issues. I would stay again.

Only a short walk from the railway station. A good base for seeing Florence’s attractions. Staff friendly & helpful. Lift starts on the first floor so if your party has mobility problems, think twice. Booked 5 room’s & asked for them to be near together & they were. Had to ask for kettle for 1 of the rooms & quickly arrived.

I love the location, furnishings were a little dated but everything was very clean and bed comfortable. The rooms were larger than average but kind of a weird layout. Breakfast was very good, it looks very small but has everything that you could want- fresh and canned fruit, scrambled and boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal toast lunch meat and cheese, orange juice and coffee. I highly recommend.
