We looked forward to coming home at the end of each day

This is a very comfortable and attractive hotel. It is within easy walking distance of the center of Florence, and allowed us to take a diffeent route into town every day, seeing new parts of the town with each trip. Good neighborhood, just on the river. Staff very friendly and glad to help with any problem or request.

Do not travel second class on any trains going to Florence. Train from Paris was a miserable experience. First class might have been more bearable.

not as advertised

we were confirmed a double superior room which was advertised as "a view over the river Arno and on the Florentine hills." we were given a room that only overlooked the back of other buildings including laundry hanging on lines. also we were given a room designed for handicapped persons. we are not handicapped. so the bathroom was extremenly inconvenient. we requested a change right away but were told that there were no other rooms available.

Great place!

I was at the hotel for one night only, but everything was great. The hotel is clean, modern, confortable and staff nice. It is around 1,5 km from Galeria Ufizzi, a nice walk. There was one draw back: parking cost 12 Euro/day and it was not so easy to find a parking spot on the street. I would go back for sure.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

Buy tickets to Gallery Ufizzi in advance! Lines are really long.
