Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and charming with XIX-century decoration, but slightly lacked in internal lighting. The service was exceptional, with the staff being accommodating and able to assist with anything I needed. The location was a major plus, being very convenient to explore the main areas in Florence. The dining options offered a good variety but could have had healthier choices. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few areas for improvement.
The hotel is located in the old historic center, offering clean and relaxing surroundings after a busy day of sightseeing. The rooms have lovely views of the garden but being next to the elevator can be a bit noisy at times. The service from the staff from Mauritius was very pleasant and they even helped plan a quick tour of the city for me. The dining experience was fantastic with a wide variety of food choices, although the coffee could have been better. The facilities are nice, particularly the make your own espresso and cappuccino machine.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms, though comfortable and beautiful, were smaller than expected, especially the single bedroom with minimal wardrobe space. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, with a friendly and professional staff, especially the lady who assisted during breakfast. The location was convenient, within walking distance of major attractions and offering a cozy setting in the historical center. The dining experience stood out with a variety of delicious options that set the tone for the day.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were nice, although being located next to the kitchen was a bit noisy in the mornings. I did enjoy the views from my room over the garden. The breakfast was delightful, and waking up to the sounds of birds was a lovely touch. However, having to pay extra to use the pool was a downside; it would have been better if it was complimentary for guests.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were nice and clean, the beds were super comfortable, and I loved having a kettle to make tea. The small terrace was a lovely addition, providing a cool and quiet spot to relax. The value for money was excellent considering the quality of the breakfast, the great location, and the overall quality of the hotel.
The hotel had spacious and lovely rooms with tall windows, although a bit cosy and lacking the historic charm of the building. The noise from the reception made it hard to sleep past 7 am. The food was fine, the beds comfortable, and the bathrooms well-designed and well-lit.
