Great location with lots going on literally outside the hotel's door. You could turn down any of the streets outside the door to find shopping, dining and sightseeing. We found a great place to grab lunch close by and we went there when we didn't have much time. The rooms were a bit spartan but very clean, large and well-maintained. The exposed beams in the ceilings give you a glimpse of the hotel's past. There are two rooftop verandas with fantastic views of the city and they're ideal for catching the sunrise/sunset. Breakfast is cold but they have two coffee machines that work well and a wide spread of available foods.

There's no eating allowed in the rooms (understandable) but also no eating allowed in the breakfast area outside of the two-hour breakfast period. That's not ideal since it can be quite hot in Florence and it's nice to be able to sit down in the air conditioned breakfast area with takeout food from nearby. Without that option it can be hard to find a place to sit with the food sold to be eaten out of your hands (think pizza, wraps, sandwiches) and so many tourists sitting in the few available places. Also you don't want to sit in the hot sun while eating so again, it would be nice to be allowed to eat in the breakfast area.

The property was conveniently located within steps of everything frequently visited. It gave old works Tuscan vibes and still very clean. Within the property it was very quiet, safe and private. The water was always hot and the pressure was perfect. Davide and the rest of the staff were incredibly professional, kind and courteous. He even arranged our taxi for our departure. The outdoor patio was a beautiful introduction to our stay in Florence, as you can see the entire town from the view.

The breakfast was ok, we had a few mosquitos in our room from the open windows and there is a little bit of noise from the nearby bars below us. Nothing that would deter me from staying there again.

The location was very central to tourist attractions with lots of food and drinks establishments close by. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The bedroom and bathroom were really clean and comfortable and both spacious. We were lucky and had a room with a view of the street that joins the hotel's street so it was quite nice. We were there at Xmas time so lovely lights everywhere. The breakfast was very generous and it was so great to be able to go out on the viewing platsforms for the amazing view of the Duomo and surrounds.

We had no negative experiences here.

Very friendly staff and the building is beautiful. Great room with a mural on the ceiling and stunning views from the terrace nearby. Better than expected breakfast too. Great location, plenty to do nearby and close to the Duomo etc.

The only real drawback was that there is no bar and they do not allow you to have food or drink in your room or in the communal areas. This is a real shame as the roof terrace is incredible and would have been such a nice spot to have a glass of wine in the afternoon/evening.

Wow, this was an AMAZING stay! So clean, very friendly/helpful staff, delicious breakfast every morning, and an incredible location to the Duomo with an unbeatable view on the rooftop! We can’t thank Davide enough for his helpfulness during our stay. He even wrote his recommendations down for us on a map and gave it to us upon arrival. We loved our time here and will never forget the memories!

There was not much we didn’t enjoy about the property or our stay! Some mornings we had to be out early for tours and the breakfast doesn’t open until 8am. However, we were able to grab a few things while they were setting up for the day. The beds were a little bit hard and by the last night it was a little bit uncomfortable, but otherwise, we wouldn’t change a thing!

Room, location and view from the terrace

They should put mosquito nets at the windows, as the place is infested by these and they are really aggressive.. We had to sleep with open windows as it was a warm night and we don't like air conditioning:: even the anti-mosquito the room was literally infested by these. Impossible to sleep peacefully and just on my face I had 23 bites! Also, it would be nice if they would furnish better the terrace, putting some pillows on the very uncomfortable iron chairs, creating some shadow spots, adding a lounge sofa somewhere where guests can enjoy the wonderful view.

Great location, steps away from Santa Maria del Fiore. The facilities are super nice and clean, staff members were really helpful and friendly. The room was nice and clean and the bed-pillows amazingly comfortable. Breakfast was a great complimentary treat for a great stay. Above all these is the rooftop with probably the best view in town, totally recommend hanging out there specially to watch the sun setting behind the Duomo. Totally recommend this hotel to stay in Firenze.

It was all great.

can see why they use the rooftop terrace in their photos- the view is absolutely stunning and being able to pop up there at any time of day is a real bonus. So gorgeous for breakfast and at sunset. The property was bigger than I thought, room was clean, bright and large and the bathroom was really nice. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful with any queries and when we needed to get to the train station took extra time to look up bus times for us and printed us a specific map. 6 min walk to the duomo, really great places around to eat and drink

Only one pillow provided in the room which was quite thin and uncomfortable. We were both very promptly provided an extra one when we asked but would be nice to have them in the room for guests to use if they wish.

Great view over the Brunelleschi dome. Good breakfast, really amazing havign breakfast with the view. Room was big, air conditioning working. Location is 10 min walking from the Cathedral, we did not need to take taxi or other types of transpirtation, easy walk to go evrywhere. Few Retaurants close by so perfect location.

no food/drinks in the room, only water. Not a big deal, but I'd prefer to be able to.

It has great location. Can easily see the Cathedral. The bed feels good. Have a variety of breakfast choices.

Before I checked in. I heard nothing about the prohibition of eating and drinking in the room. I understood it's for protect the building. However, it's better to mention it before customer check-in. Besides, there's no EU socket near the bed or desk, only Italian style. EU plugs are quite far from the bed.
