This was a great experience. I was traveling with my husband and two children aged 11 and 14. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are large. In fact, our bathroom had two sinks a bathtub and shower. The breakfast had a lot of options and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The biggest shout out and praise goes to Marco, who helped us out in a bind! Unexpectedly, our flights going home to the United States were canceled, and Marco helped us call our Italian airline to get us on a different flight. He also helped us find a hotel reservation in Rome and spoke Italian to the people there and that resulted in a reduced rate. This is a great place to stay, especially for a family. We stayed here at the end of our 14 day trip and really loved it.

This little hotel, just a block from the train station, is a quiet respite from the busy Florence scene. It is convenient to the sights, and provides a generous breakfast. It has an unusually large elevator and comfortable lounge areas in the lobby and third floor balcony.

Lovely small hotel very close to the train station and the T2 tram from the airport. About a 10 minute walk to downtown Florence and the sights. Staff was very friendly and even held our luggage for us after check out before we could catch our train to Rome.

Staff were wonderful and breakfast was delicious with many options! Not soundproof rooms so I heard the baby crying and street cleaners, but everything else made up for it (just bring earplugs)

The location was very convenient and safe. The property was clean, quiet and the staff was very helpful and kind. The only downside was the hotel had an unappealing smell and the only window went to a balcony in the middle of the complex instead of to the street.
