Good location, nice breakfast and decent price
My wife and I spend one night in Florence, the hotel was sufficient for an overnight stay. The location is very good, walking distance to the main train station and the major tourist attractions. The cleaniness of the hotel is not the best, there is dust all over the place but it is a good price/benefit option is you are not picky enough.
The breakfast was very rich, with plenty of options.
Hotel agradável com pequeno almoço agradável. A localização não é má. Pena o quarto onde fiquei ser ao lado da casa das máquinas uma vez que faziam barulho a noite toda e era desagradável para dormir. Nesse sentido acaba por ser um mau serviço prestado.

Centralt men ikke mere end det
Opholdet var fint nok til prisen og personalet var søde. Dog var vi meget plaget af støjgener, da hele hotellets facade er ved at blive renoveret. Derfor var hele hotellet indhyldet i et stillads, og håndværkere gik lige ude foran vinduet, så vi aldrig kunne have gardinerne rullet fra. Dertil startede de også tidligt om morgenen med at bore, hamre mv. Vi gjorde hotellet opmærksomme på dette, men de kunne ikke gøre noget.
Sono stata lo scorso weekend insieme al mio compagno
Avevo prenotato una super matrimoniale e invece mi sono ritrovata una matrimoniale semplice
Poi il riscaldamento nn andava in camera
E infine la doccia aveva il doccino difettoso e usciva poca acqua.
Das Haus liegt in einer sehr internationalen Gegend zwei Ecken von der Markthalle entfernt. Parkplätze nur bei kooperierenden Parkhaus für 28€ pro Tag.
Erstes Ximmer hat furchtbar nach Kloake gerochen, man gab uns jedoch anstandslos ein anderes.
Kann man für den Preis wieder machen.
Frühstück auf größerem Balkon/ Innenhof .
Nice location, easy to access every sightseeing area.
There are supermarkets, coin laundry and restaurant near by hotel. Receptionist is very kind, we’d like to stay there again.
ロケーションがとにかく最高です。家族で宿泊したのですが、必要な場所が全て徒歩圏内にあるため、非常に快適でした。
The room was not like it was pictured in the least. The bedding was itchy and of poor quality. The bidet (has spots of urine and dark brown spots) and shower were not clean, the fridge was not in service (something another customer complained about as well). We got one towel per person, which was not sufficient for our body and hair. I will say the soap was good and smelled nice. The breakfast was varied and satisfactory. Fine for a one night but never someplace I’d return.
El hotel estuvo bien, con la excepción de una de las recepcionistas (una chica rubia) que fue muy antipática.
Y también algo que no me gusto que primero me dijeron que pagara la tasa y al otro día me dijeron otro precio (que tenia que pagar más)
Las señoras del desayuno muy cordiales.

Very very friendly staff and polite staff.
But the facility needs some improvement (showers, breakfast area). The locations is very convenient. Close to everything
