“A perfect short break”

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Florence. Friendly staff, comfortable bedroom with high quality bed linen. The bar area is lovely and a great place to chill with a cocktail (or 2!) I would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thank you

We were there for 4 nights and we have got 2 rooms as we are a family of 4. The location of the hotel was excellent as we can walk to a lot of tourists attractions and there were many restaurants nearby as well. The staff were quite friendly and helpful . But the rooms were not very comfortable as they were a bit dark , the furniture were very dated and beat up and the beds were not comfortable at all. The best thing in the room was actually the bathroom as they looked very new and modern and bright. There was no coffee machine in the room and I wasn’t even sure if the fridge in the room worked or not as I put drinks in the fridge the night before and when I took them out next morning they felt like room temperature to me. The restaurant inside the hotel was very good , food was really nice - We had really nice dinners there. Breakfast was served in another area , they were ok but basic and not a lot of choices. Overall I think the stay was ok but I guess all the 5 stars reviews I seen on Tripadvisor set up too high of an expectation for me on this hotel.

This hotel is very central to a lot of the tourist areas. It’s behind the palace and Uffizi but out of the main tourist square, which was perfect for what we needed. Staff were attentive and helpful. The lobby of the hotel was comfortable with a bar to the end. We had a ‘Classic’ room on the third floor. Some of the reviews have said the rooms are small with no air con. I was pleasantly surprised by the size and adequate for the price we paid - although very dark where we had to have the light on all the time. We had a comfortable king sized bed and the bathroom was a reasonable size with toiletries, bath robes and slippers. Mini bar (for a price), tea and coffee making facilitates were available in the room and replenished daily. Coffee machine would have been nice considering it’s supposed to be a 5star. There was a turn down service in the evening. The aircon worked well and welcomed after a day in the sunshine. Breakfast was included which was the usual Buffett style - nothing outstanding. At a cost other breakfast items could be ordered (poached eggs for example). Table service for drinks etc and some hot options. Staff attentive and hard working. We were pleased with the hotel but I would not consider to be a 5star. Our window faced out into a dirty courtyard with no view at all. There were signs of wear and tear in the hotel and areas that needed rejuvenating (carpets etc) however don’t let that put your off as this is a good hotel in a convenient great location. City tax is an additional £8 per person, per night payable on checkout. Top tip - we contacted the concierge about a taxi to and from the hotel. We were quoted at €260 for the return trip. The tram from the airport to the centre is €1.70 and a 10 min walk, or there is a taxi rank where there is always someone available outside at the end of the road for €40. Not a complaint, but just to make others aware of the price difference.
