7.6/10 Good! (1,000 reviews)
Short walk from/to train station! Hotel is in a fairly busy area, can walk to St Marks easily. Check in went well - a person checked us in. there was a lift so it was easy to go upstairs. room was larger than we expected, but not much space to move around with luggage. beds were good. bathroom was small but adequate - no issues, shower very small. problem with small light bulbs over the bed, they did not fix it well. friendliest person we met was the maid/cleaning lady, Aida. Folks at front desk were ok only. no food in this hotel - but many good restaurants nearby. Checkout was easy - a person again.

8/10 Very Good! (874 reviews)
Our room was very clean & appeared to have been remodeled recently. Although a bit on the small side, the accommodations were comfortable & the staff very helpful. Breakfast was included & the location - near Uffizi - was ideal for walking to many dining options & areas of historical interest.

8.6/10 Excellent! (610 reviews)
Disappointed in our room, when you see the photographs in the overview of the hotel on Expedia, the reality was very different. Getting around the hotel is challenging, with an elevator that only takes two people. On the positive side the view from the roof top terrace was stunning, great for an early evening drink and breakfast.

Apr 29, 2019I found the inside to be a bit underwhelming compared to other cathedrals I have visited. The outside takes your breath away, and the climb to the top of the Brunelleschi's Dome is amazing. It's worth the workout! You must reserve tickets to the dome ahead of time.
4/5 - Good

Apr 18, 2019Outside is amazing. Skip the line tour to only get inside not worth it, but would have been worth it if we could have climbed to the top.
5/5 - Excellent
