This is a great little hotel. The staff was very nice and the breakfast was very good. The only thing I did not like was that the room which they showed in the picture was no the room that we received. The room in the photo when we reserved was completely different, inside and also the view of the room which in my opinion is unacceptable. I will not go to this hotel again for this simple reason.

This hotel is the best we have stayed at during our 3 week vacation. The location is perfect for restaurants, shopping, sightseeing and very quiet at night. The staff is a 10 star staff and the breakfast is a 100 stars. I will recommend this hotel to everyone that plans to stay in Florence.
