The hotel's location near the train station and main attractions is excellent, making it convenient for exploring Florence. The room setup with twin beds facing each other can be a downside if there are noisy neighbors. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially when we forgot our keys in the room, but there were difficulties with simple issues like providing a receipt. The dining experience could use some improvement in variety, as the breakfast lacked fresh options, although the surrounding streets added charm to the location.

I've stayed in for three times the price, which was teeny tiny. The rooms were fine, nothing amazing but good for a 3-star, despite having a musty odor. The service was a mix; staff don't bother about complaints and barely understand English but are friendly & willing to assist, especially in storing our bags on the last day. The location is excellent, close to the train station and Piazza Independenza, making it perfect for exploring all the sites in Florence. The dining experience was okay, though it would be nice to have more variety for longer stays. Overall, a decent hotel with some drawbacks but an affordable option in a great location.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I got was big with a balcony overlooking the square, which I loved, but the towels weren't changed until our 4th night. The service was initially recommended with friendly staff, but unfortunately turned out to be not very friendly, echoing warnings from others. The location was excellent, just a short walk from major attractions, though the dining experience was satisfactory, it was a bit limited and slightly overpriced. Overall, the hotel offered a decent stay with a few drawbacks.

The hotel offers a pristine room with a very generously sized bathroom but was not without dust. The location is good, approximately a 10-minute walk from the station, with a frontage looking at an open park called the Plaza Independance. The service varies but overall welcoming and helpful. The dining experience was good, with standard Italian breakfast foods, and the facilities are adequate.

The hotel provided good value for money with small but well-equipped rooms. Some dust was noticeable, especially in the flaking water-soaked walls, as seen in the photos. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful despite occasional rudeness. The location was great for exploring Florence, although dropping off packages was inconvenient. The dining area offered a decent selection but lacked fruit, and a strict policy on food takeaway. The facilities were adequate.

The room was larger than I expected but was in a lower ground floor room with hardly any daylight. The service was merely adequate for directions and info but helpful in storing our bags for the last day. The location is excellent, not far from the train stations, and right next door to the wonderful small streets and historic buildings. The dining was good with standard Italian breakfast foods, and the facilities were satisfactory.
