“Probably the best location in Florence right next to the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio.”
Lovely room quiet in spite of its central location right next to the Uffizi Gallery. Staff could not have been more helpful. Small bar and seating area on top floor had limited view but was a welcome place to get a drink and sit outside.

“Really nice stay in Florence - so easy to walk everywhere from this hotel!”
The location is really really good, the breakfast was nice, the rooms are fine, the bathroom was lovely and so much hot water and powerful showers. The view from the roof top is nice towards the Duomo and towers. Good air con. On our first and second day the two ladies on reception were so welcoming and friendly.

“Excellent place in the middle of Florence”
Excellent stay in the hotel. Had very good services, delicious breakfast with a good selection of Italian cheeses, pastries and omelette, excellent ventilation in the room, and very welcoming personnel. It’s location is right in the middle of all tourists, but inside it’s very peaceful, fast wi-fi, and an oasis we found ourselves retreating from the heavy Florence crowds. To top it off, the rooftop bar offered beautiful views (albeit at a price) and nice Aperols ^^

The location is amazing. So easy to get to all the attractions both side of the river. The breakfast room is amazing with a beautifully painted ceiling. Our room was spacious and incredibly quiet - it overlooked an inner courtyard. The staff were very helpful and polite. Overall an excellent stay
