Honeymoon stop
The location and staff were wonderful. We stopped in Florence for only one night to ride scooters in the Tuscany hills. The hotel was conveniently located between the train station and the scooter station. The staff took excellent care of us while we were there.

Good location but you’re hit with a dank, sewer-like smell upon entering and the plumbing is old and loud. Cramped spaces and lack luster presentation. Skip this one until they upgrade their premises.

There was not a place to park to unload in a very busy area, had to circle around several times waiting for the one space available to check in and unload. Room was not as clean as it could have been. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

The only reason I didn't give a 5-star rating was because the noise from outside made it hard to sleep from about midnight to 3am. There were women laughing and talking on the street outside. Otherwise, we loved this hotel. It has a rooftop bar with great food and lovely views. The staff is very helpful. Room was always clean.
