Good location. Clean room.
I stayed here for two days in July. It's in a good location only about a 10 minutes walk from the Train station. It's about a 10 min walk into the center of town. There are lots of cheap places to eat and small grocery store outside. The reception is on the 3rd floor even though some rooms are on the 2nd floor. You need to leave the keys with reception when you go out. The room was clean and I could smell the bleach from when they cleaned last. The bed has a egg foam too so it's probably an old bed. The pillow should be replaced. I had to fold it many times to support my head. Facing the street, the windows did a good job blocking the street noise but you will hear the room doors down the hallway shutting loudly. The shower is a bit tight being maybe 4 feet by 3 feet deep. The breakfast a good. Better tHan I expected for a cheaper hotel. Fruits, croissants, hard boiled eggs, bread, cereals and yogurt.

Friendly and Comfortable
Super friendly hotel, staff, everyone so nice. Let me store luggage and use their wifi even after I checked out. Location close to the railway station and main sights can't be beat. Breakfast was good if somewhat standard for Italy. I would stay here again in an instant.

Good hotel near Santa Maria Novella Train Station
The breakfast was buffet style and offered a lot of variety considering you're on the Continent of Europe. (Remember Europeans don't eat large breakfasts). The staff were very helpful and more than polite; in fact, they were quite friendly. I appreciated that they gave me a room overlooking the back side of the hotel since it was quieter. The facilities were clean. However, there was a bit of a musty smell coming from my room. I don't know the cause and it wasn't overwhelming so I didn't make a big deal of it. The location is what makes the hotel the best. It's a 10 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella train station which is where the buses to and from the airport pick up and drop off. Also Florence's main bus station is near the train station too. Overall, other than the musty smell, the hotel was great and I will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful Florence
Hotel was less than 10 minutes walk from train station. Hotel was easy to find and had some good restaurants and bars close by. Staff were friendly and really helpful on check-in, advising on the places to visit whilst in Florence. Would recommend this hotel for its location and value for money.

Nice hotel in the heart of Florence. Parking is not cheap in this area, but if you aren't driving there probably isn't a better deal and so close to so many great things in the city. Room was clean and substantial. No frills. Just a good, quiet place to sleep.

Hotel antigo, porém inteiro reformado e modernizado. Ficamos no quarto de frente a rua, com duas janelas anti-ruido. Não se escutava um barulho, excelente. Equipe cordial e atenciosa. Com certeza retornaria e indicaria a amigos e familiares.
