Rooms are really tiny. Air con was leaking in the first room given. A technician came and checked, language problem as he didn't speak English. He (I think) wanted us to off the aircon for the night! After much furstration and lots of hand gestering, we finally got a change of room. Another tiny room with an even tinnier bathroom.... more

We stayed at this hotel as part of a Monograms tour. The hotel is in a good location, right on the Arno river and only about 10-15 minutes walk to the downtown area. The hotel itself is fine, not fancy, but comfortable with a good breakfast, helpful staff, and a good-sized, clean room. Only negative was the shower, which was... more

This is a large hotel, full of American tourist groups. We booked a double room at 89euro a night incl breakfast and taxes. The room is a good size and clean. Décor is a bit dated but that ok. The bathroom was modern and looked good and the bed was quite comfortable which was very important. The hotel staff are... more

The meeting rooms are nicely updated and convenient to all sleeping rooms and the restaurant. The staff is so great to work with, everyone in the hotel is pleasant and goes out of their way to make everything perfect. From the front desk... more

First of all we live in Italy and travel around quite a bit using hotels for long weekends. This is our second trip to Florence using it as a base to travel around Tuscany. I heard about this hotel from an Italian friend who uses it when he goes to visit his daughter at University there. We booked thru Venere.com... more

On first impressions the entrance and reception area are vert grand. There was a nice bar area and lots of comfortable seating around the bar area. The room was nice and of traditional styling, was comfortable and didn't hear a lot of noise from outside even although we were on a busy road. Breakfast was lovely, lots to choose from... more

This hotel caters mostly to large tourist groups of which are mostly high school & college students. I was with a group so I had to stay at this hotel but our group was quiet. The walls are made of paper & you can hear the people on either side of you as if they were in your room. Also... more
