Our stay at the hotel was fantastic overall. The rooms were spacious and equipped with 2 ensuite bathrooms, which added a sensational touch to our comfort. The only downside was that the room was a bit too warm. The top-floor room offered a fun experience with a quiet atmosphere and a lovely view over the city rooftops.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but a bit noisy late in the evening and early morning. The service was top-notch, with the friendliest and most helpful staff I encountered during my entire trip in Italy. The location couldn't have been better, with easy access to all major tourist attractions in Florence. The dining experience exceeded my expectations, especially with the best gluten-free breakfast I had in all of Italy. The facilities were fantastic, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with good amenities, albeit slightly small for a group of 4 for a short stay but with an excellent bathroom. The service was outstanding, with smart and very friendly staff who went above and beyond, even assisting in booking tickets to the Uffizi galleries. The location is ideal for exploring Florence on foot, with easy access to major attractions and a lovely view of the church from the square. The dining experience was outstanding, offering some of the best in a 4-star hotel, though there is room for improvement in the selection. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor downsides.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The room with a balcony was amazing, spacious, and had a stunning view of Santa Maria Nova Plaza. The service was top-notch, with lactose-free options provided and a mini-bar free of charge. The location is unbeatable, right by the main train station and close to all the historical sites. The dining experience was good, especially the fresh, made-from-scratch pizza. Overall, a great value for money choice with a few minor downsides.

This hotel is like a hidden gem in the heart of Firenze with immaculate bedrooms and friendly, helpful staff contributing to our enjoyment of the city. The lovely piazza location provides easy access to the main attractions and charming restaurants, although the dining experience could be more diverse. The modern and comfortable rooms offer a pleasant stay that could only be enhanced by a few adjustments. The value for money is decent with some minor areas for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room change for a larger, less modern room was a bit disappointing, but the fantastic rooms made up for it. The service was outstanding and entirely customer-oriented, though we did face an issue with a tour. The location was very convenient for walking to all the sites in Florence, but I was appalled to find out that breakfast was not included in the daily rate, considering the price paid.

The hotel is located on a very pretty square in Florence, making it a spectacular setting. It is near the train station, in the center of Florence, and close to the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. However, our room was in the basement, so we missed having a view over the square.

The dining experience was not great, the options were a little poor for a 4-star hotel, and it was not worth its inclusion in the room price. A steak was not satisfying.
