“Nice hotel - would recommend it.”

Right around the corner from the train...good location. The hotel is very old, so it seemed a little worn down, but it was clean. The staff was wonderful.

“Convenient Location”

The location is very good for those arriving by train. It is a five minute walk from the train station and the market which is convenient place to purchase souvenirs and to eat. The rooms were small and the beds were not very comfortable. The shower was small and could flood while showering if you did not turn the water off while shampooing. The wireless Internet connection did not reach into the room areas, thus most guest were gathered around the in the hallways or the small reception area were the wireless router is located. The continental breakfast was good. The staff was overall friendly and helpful during our stay. The hotel shortcomings were tolerable.

“Not too bad”

Convenient to train station, but noisy neighborhood. Beautiful interior paint, lovely stained glass, cute "pension" atmosphere. Kind of funky. Pretty breakfast room with a gorgeous view of a courtyard and other houses. Very European in feeling. Good value. I would go back, but take earplugs.

“Very clean and quaint. Proprietress very nice.”

This is the type of hotel that gives you a good flavor for Florence. It is very unpretentious. It has older furniture, a tiny T.V., and no fancy lobby. However, if you want a real community experience go here. The woman at the desk is very friendly. The rooms are clean and the hotel is in a great location. Breakfast is free and presented in an absolutely beautiful breakfast area overlooking the city. This is a 3 star hotel. I gladly traded the "posh" amenities of our 4 start hotel in Rome for this place. None of the arrogance and artificially high costs were present in this cute little hotel.

November is a great time to go. It is off season but not yet cold. There were no lines!
