The location is very convenient.
However, there’s no place to put shampoo in the shower room, so I had to leave it on the floor, which was inconvenient.
The smallest room is a bit too small, so I’d recommend getting a slightly larger one instead.

Nice, large room that is conveniently located near the train station. We were pleased with decor, cleanliness, and surprising quiet at night of the hotel. I really appreciated the expresso machine in the lobby.

Staff was very helpful and kind. Easy check in. The area isn’t the best, considering it’s right next to the train station, but convenient for travel. The room was much smaller in person, and our bed was 2 twins pushed together. Comforter was black so it just always looked dirty. The shower/bathroom was a lot smaller in person and uncomfortable to bathe in. Towels had stains which wasn’t pleasant. Don’t bother with the free breakfast either across the street.

The receptionist stated an hour longer to meet us and explained the access keys etc. Chiara was very personable and caring and made our stay enjoyable. Any problems encountered were addressed promptly. Help was extended with taxi bookings or bus route guidance. We didn’t pay for breakfast as plenty of cafes, including McDonald, Burger King. A supermarket next door was convenient for buying water, snacks etc.
The only negative was a lack of cupboards, drawers for storing clothes. The B&B location was perfect for short walk to main train station and all the popular sites, restaurants etc. We loved eating at a popular place requiring reservation- ZA-ZA.
Tour meeting points also close by.

Excellent option in Firenze - recommended!
Excellent option in Florence. Great hotel, 5 minutes walking from the train station.
Great benefit for us: independent check-in using codes for the different hotel doors. In our case, we knew we would arrive late after 10 pm, but we weren't sure of the time and it could also happen that we arrived even later during the night. So being able to fully check in by ourselves was highly appreciated.
Very comfortable and nicely decorated room with everything we needed. Kind personnel.
Breakfast is offered in a café across the street, it is okay but could be better (perhaps include something extra). Anyway, good enough to start the day quickly.
I would come back to this hotel in my next stay in Florence.
