My stay at the hotel was overall great. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, providing a cozy retreat. The breakfast on the terrace was a nice way to start the day, although the little sparrows could be a bit intrusive. The hotel's location, just a few meters from the reception, was convenient but could get noisy due to its position by an alley.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a real key system, which was secure but noisy at times, giving off a college dorm vibe with dated decor and limited facilities. However, the service was exceptional with friendly and professional staff who went above and beyond, even assisting with Italian lessons. The location was quiet yet conveniently close to the city center, making it a suitable choice for those preferring a more serene setting in Florence. The dining offered typical Italian fare, such as good crostata and scrambled eggs, providing a decent start to the day. The facilities were basic and could use some updates.
