Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great place to stay, it's not in the historical city but the bus station is just in front of the hotel gate, busses are little bit unreliable during night but we managed our way home every night, and it's 40 min walk if you didn't find any bus. I'd recommend to walk it once during afternoon because the streets are spectacular. The room and bathroom were very large and clean and the area and the hotel were calm during the night. The staff were helpful and friendly. They provided breakfast which was not very special but not bad either, just a free meal to start your long day with a full stomach. The overall experience is very good.”
“Wonderful night in Florence!! The room is clean and spacious. Also, the owner is incredibly friendly. Due to a bus delay, we were a bit late to pick up our luggage, but the owner waited for us and helped us with the information. If you’re planning a trip to Florence, don’t hesitate to book this place.”
“This hotel was beautiful, easily accessible via the bus lines in Florence, and affordable. The owner was welcoming and warm, and the room was cleaned often and well. Fresh towels every two days, room was turned over multiple times during our week long stay. The shower was excellent and the dinner was incomparable. I would happily stay here again, and recommend it to my friends and family.”
