Excellent variety of buffet breakfast; quirky room - quite dark but that’s the style. Spotless modern bathroom, efficient and quiet a/c. Great location near the station and only a short walk to the centre. Helpful guide to local restaurants was supplied at check-in.

Because of a train strike, we were stuck in Florence for another day and missed our flight. They did everything possible to help us from checking rental cars, checking limo drivers. Finally we found out that it just wasn’t gonna work so we stayed an extra day which was wonderful And we’re on our way tomorrow to Rome to catch our flight. I can’t say enough good things about them five stars doesn’t cover it.

Florence Holiday

Hotel was lovely. In a great location only a short walk from the Florence Santa Maria Novella railway station. Hotel interior lovely, artfully laid out. Room was lovely with a modern bathroom. Breakfast is on the ground floor with a good selection available. Hotel located on the Santa Maria Novella piazza, nice open square as you stepped out of the hotel. A lovely location. An abundance of good restaurants in the immediate area, food lovely. Plus loads more fine restaurants within 10 minutes walk. The Dumo is only 5-10 minutes walk. In fact all central Florence & the river only a short walk away. Lovely city for walking around.

Lovely location but if your room is facing the square it’ll be noisy just to warm you of your an early bedder, beautiful view of the square though! Air conditioning in the room wasn’t great but it was extremely hot when we were in Florence. Breakfast was good and the staff were all friendly and helpful.
