Nice small hotel with great location
Nice hotel in a great location in Florence. Very close to a small grocery store as well as many cafes and restaurants. We were able to walk from here to every site we wanted to see in the city. Also less than 10
Minute walk to the train station.

Great location and value
Amazing location, wonderful staff, cute hotel. No major amenities seen with large chains but they are not necessary in Florence with so much to see and do. I will definitely stay here again.

We received a warm welcome from Milad a

Nice hotel. Excellent breakfast, pleasant staff. Guests need to walk up one flight of stairs to get to the elevator. Just a warning for those with mobility issues. I would stay again.

LOCATION!!!
I liked this place. It is a bit old fashioned in the 50's sense, but it was clean and comfortable. The location was great. I like being near the train station and the supermercato centrale as well as close enough to walk in Central Florence. Their breakfasts were great and the staff was wonderful and helpful.
