The property was hard to find. A very basic room. Nothing special.
Great location convenient to the train station and a short walk to the city center at the Duomo. Very comfortable room and spacious bathroom a short climb to the first floor. Host met us as planned for check in and tour of room. Would recommend
This was a great find! The hotel is located in the centre of Florence, with the train station just a very short walk away. The hotel was immaculate and the staff were friendly. I would recommend. I'll be staying here again!

Sentralt både fra togstasjonen og det historiske sentrum. Fint bad, rent og stort rom.
Manglet møbler til å legge kofferten og stol til å sitte i.
La limpieza y el mobiliario excelentes. Nos quedamos en la habitación Florencia. Lo único malo fue que la habitación contaba con muy poca luz natural y el último día tuvieron problemas con la energía eléctrica por lo que tuvimos que empacar a la luz de nuestros celulares. La ubicación es excelente ya que está cerca de la estación de tren!
