Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean, cute, and had good amenities like Wi-Fi, a nice bathroom, and air conditioning. However, the limited space could feel a bit claustrophobic when busy, and being next to the breakfast room made it noisy at times. The fantastic terrace with views of the Duomo was a highlight despite feeling a bit cold during my visit.
The hotel rooms were small but cute and clean, offering a gorgeous panoramic view of the Duomo from the rooftop terrace. The service was wonderful with excellent English-speaking staff. The location was wonderfully central to all main attractions but could get loud at night due to nearby bars. The dining experience was small but adequate for starting the day.
The hotel is located perfectly, just far enough to catch a glimpse of the Duomo while being cozy and clean. The room was comfortable and equipped with nice amenities, though the view from one of the windows was limited. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff making the stay a delight. The dining experience, while good, had a less attractive atmosphere in the terrace area. Overall, a pleasant stay with great value for money.
The hotel has a lovely ambiance and offers stunning views from the rooftop terrace. The rooms are charming and clean, but the thin walls may affect privacy. The service was exceptionally accommodating, and the location is superb being close to major attractions. The dining area, though small, offers a decent breakfast spread.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its spacious and perfect rooms, although a bit noisy due to proximity to the entrance stairs and umbrella rack. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially with excellent English speakers. The location was wonderfully central, close to major attractions and with great views. The dining experience was a pleasant surprise, but it came at an extra cost. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is perfectly located, just a 5-minute walk from the Duomo, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling streets of Florence. The rooms, though simple, were clean, cool, and had everything needed for a one-night stay. The service from the staff, particularly Arturo and Rodolfo, was stellar, going above and beyond to assist with anything from housekeeping to tour recommendations. Dining options were good, providing ample fuel for the day, and the location was superb for exploring the city's attractions.
