The hotel was undergoing renovation thus no breakfast was provided. The staff was still helpful though. The walk from the airport to the hotel was a bit tricky because the roads around the airport provides little consideration for pedestrians.
If being near the airport is important, this is an option. The train to the airport is nearby. Not the nicest walk. Keep in mind, the quality is slummy. I did not have hot water during the stay. Daily cleanings were making the bed. Otherwise, that was it. The piece of toilet paper on the ground when I arrived stayed on the floor the whole time I was there. Bed sheets were the extent of covering. There were blankets in the closet. However they looked like potato sack material. There was no daily breakfast as promised. WiFi is not available in all rooms as advertised. Don’t stay here.
Very strong Smoking smell on the room and bathroom even though we don’t smoke. Struggled to sleep at night due to that smell.
As we had a pram. Staff was very helpful to take the pram upstairs to the room. However, if there was big it would have been very helpful.
The room was clean but very old. The few furniture were damaged. The lobby of the hotel had a smell, and with very old furniture.
But the staff was very friendly and very helpful.
Dingy, cement building that feels like a prison cell. First room was infested with mosquitos. Once we changed rooms, there were at least no bugs, but lots of dead bugs on the walls. Shower was dangerously slippery and the water got no where near hot.
The front desk clerk was helpful and kind, but the hotel is not good at all.
Walking into our room, there was a strong smell of cigarettes. We asked to change our room but were not able to. Later finding blood on pillows and on throw blankets. The shower is only covered by a curtain in the corner of the bathroom. The area felt skeptical. I would not recommend this hotel.
A bad experience. The toilet was running all night, it was very noisy. The bad experience was topped by only having cold water in the bathroom in the morning. And yes, we let it run for a long time.
Dirty beds and bathroom, toilet is broken and no hot water after 11 PM

I did not stay at this property because the minute we checked in it looked like a prison. I gave it a chance by waiting on the room and when we were presented the room, it did look like a prison cell , the bathroom was all funky and moldy. we had to scramble for a hotel room right away online and left in a hurry. This is a disaster Expedia you should never list this hotel because it is non-operating it is dirty it has mold and it is just dirty, repulsive hideous in the building is falling apart. I am gonna file a claim and it’s a good thing I got insurance for this reservation.

The hotel was supposed to have a breakfast. It did not. For three nights of our stay out of four there was no hot water. The fridge didn't work. On the second day of our stay, apparently during cleaning, some of our food disappeared from the room (was stolen). We asked for a "No disturb" door knob hanger (to prevent future theft) and were given one that was created in front of our eyes by handwriting on a piece of paper. The manager of the hotel was in Rome and unreachable. The total impression was that it was a low level hotel in the third world country.
The place was extremely disappointing. No phones in rooms, key was tricky to use, and if there was a fire it would have been stressful to get out.no light blocking curtains, no bath mats, bathroom sink was plugged and nothing was done to fix it although we reported. It x2. Shower stall was disgusting and NO HOT WATER during our stay. The walls in our room looked like they slapped a coat of paint over mould stains and there were stains on the walls. There was no place to get coffee I could go on but you can get a sense of what it was like.
Staff was great and helpful but I certainly wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
I did not stay here. My 1 star review is based on their lack of customer service.
I was booked to stay here the night before my flight left Florence. A week prior I found out my flight was changed and I would not need the room. I tried contacting the property to see about a refund or even a partial refund and I could not get in contact with anyone. I contacted Expedia, they also tried multiple attempts to reach the hotel but were unable to.
I do understand that when I booked the room, it said that it was non refundable. However, my flight change was out of my hands and I feel there was enough notice time given to rent out the room and it would have been nice to receive even a partial refund. Or at least get in touch with someone!
My wife and I were traveling Europe for our honeymoon and this is one place we decided to stay. We were led to believe the hotel had laundry and was close to lots of places to eat but this was incorrect, all the restaurants close by were all shut down permanently as far as I can tell and the only laundry service was almost 15 euros each to wash and dry which is maybe normal but when we’re let to believe the hotel had this service it’s something we did not budget for. As for the room the floors were dirty with broken tiles that moved when stepped on, the shower head holder was broken(not a big deal but annoying) and there was only one towel between us which is not super fun when you have been traveling all night and sweating all day and all you want to do is shower before bed, I asked for more towels but apparently that was the last one and we just had to deal with it(not a big deal I know but it seemed like things kept getting added to the pile, although he couldn’t help us with most of the issues the man at the front desk front desk was friendly and he tried to help us so I have to give credit where credit is due. All in all the photos look much nicer than the place and they are not accurate at least in the room we stayed in and I wouldn’t recommend staying here.
We arrived very late, around midnighr. The hotel was unmanned, bu keys ans instructions were prepared in an envelope in the reception, so that part worked very well.
The room however was in very bad condition. The doors on the closet were partly missing and partly broken. A drawer was also missing. The toilet was leakong, so in order to flush, youbhad to open a valve, wair a few minutes to fill up the tabk and then close the valve again. The heating was off and the blankets thia so we didn’t sleep very well.
We requested a refund, but were offered 50% off on our next stay. We will not use that…
Quartos sujos, lençóis sujos e rasgados, chuveiro com água gelada, após diversas reclamações eles ligaram a água “quente” que estava de morna para fria,ainda fomos roubados em 100 euros quando saímos durante o dia, não recomendo não recomendo não recomendo!!!!!!!
A recepção não tinha recepcionista 24h, não fala além do inglês, os quartos não são higienizados adequadamente todos os dias, não faziam reposição de papel higiênico.
