    Florence is so beautiful - a photo opportunity at every corner.

    The negative consequence of the location was that it was noisy. Lots of vehicles going along the road in the middle of the night and some loud people shouting on their way home. There are about four flights of stairs up to the hotel reception which might be difficult for some less mobile people. There is a lift for part of the way.

    The location of the hotel was brilliant - within a few minutes walk of all the main attractions and hundreds of restaurants. The bed was very comfortable and spacious. Plenty of hot water in the bathroom. Tiny roof terrace that was a sun trap in the afternoon. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Wide choice for breakfast

    Cannot think of anything.

    The hotel staff was very friendly, they were very thoughtful, responded swiftly on requests. The location, around the corner of ponte vecchio, nearby all important sights of Florence. The room was spacious and clean.

    he hotel is in a great location: 3-5 minutes from the Uffizi and 10-15 minutes walk to the main tourist locations. At the same time, it is located on a quiet street, so there was no noise at night. The steps to the elevator are not a problem even after a long day. And most importantly - great friendly staff. Breakfast is good, includes an omelette with bacon, various pies and nice staff ready to serve. The room is spacious, the bed is comfortable, everything is clean. It was nice to come and relax. I will definitely stay again and highly recommend it.

    Our room was very large with a nice river view. The breakfast was amazing. Each day a choice of 2 homemade savoury dishes that were very authentic Italian. Delicious!

    I didn’t mind it, but it won’t work for people who don’t like stairs. It was a free workout- there is a small lift but it’s up a flight of stairs. Other than that I loved it.

    Well placed, quirky, and beautifully authentic. Very clean and welcoming. The staff were wonderful and helpful with suggestions for meals and sight seeing.

    Nothing that the hotel can do about it but it is on the second floor with a partial lift.

    Breakfast could have been more varied and air con control from the room directly would have been easier than calling the front desk, but staff were very accommodating and our trip was great overall.

    Great location close to all major attractions, lovely helpful staff and spotless sizeable room. Thanks for a brilliant stay.
