The hotel is only 8 KM from the Florence city center. Good basic breakfast (Cheese, bread, cereal, coffee, and tea), the non smoking rooms were super clean but smelled as if someone smoked in it before, since the hotel is kind of old About the staff, hmmmmmm, it would be nice if they were little friendlier but we are not there to make friends. The receptionist was very helpful and showed us where to park in Florence.
