Hotel Domus Florentiae - Florence

9.7

Perfect hotel in relation price/quality

7.6

Fantastic location, close to the bus and train station and within walking distance of everything you would want to see in Florence. The room was fairly basic, but quiet and clean, although I had problems with the toilet. Breakfast was fairly modest, but it was nice to sit out on the terrace and eat in the sunshine. All in all an adequate hotel, but not one to rave about.

9.4

A quaint hotel in a very convenient location only several minutes walk from the train station. Our bedroom window overlooked the square. It was quiet and handy for all attractions and there were bars and restaurants nearby. Lovely lounge area. Continental breakfast was plentiful. First time to Florence - would definitely stay again.

9.6

This was the 1st time we have visited Florence and this hotel. Very nice hotel with the old world charm you expect when you visit old cities. Very close to everything walking distance from the hotel and the golden bridge is only 20min stroll away. we recomend a beautiful restaurant over the golden bridge called Golden View Open Bar for a very fine dineing experience. Take a trip out to "The Mall" an Hour's bus ride.

8.2

Bathroom is rather clean and spacious. Air-conditioning is somewhat lacking.

4.9

We spent just one night in August (hot day). The welcoming was not very friendly. The air conditioning was not working and I opened the window but the room was still incredibly hot. Toilette was not flushing and shower has several problems. Only good thing was a good breakfast with nice view of surrondings.

8.0

Posizione ottima, a tre minuti a piedi dalla stazione e 5 minuti dal Duomo. Camere pulite e spaziose con ampia finestra. Migliorabile la colazione, magari con frutta fresca di stagione e con caffè espresso e non alla macchinetta tipo industriale.

9.3

This hotel made for a lovely stay in Florence. We stayed in a beautifully presented room, with lovely, high ceilings and hardwood floorboards and the bathroom was spotless Manuela at reception was always so pleasant and smiling. She helped us book tours and was always so helpful. We would definitely stay at Domus Florientae again and recommend it to family and friends.

8.9

Very centrally located and easy to find close to the Santa Maria Novella station, and the beautiful church is your closest neighbour. Nice, relativaly spatious single room with a large bathroom; charming old style which fits so well with the impression of Florence. You can have your breakfast on an outdoor terrace, which I liked. Overall an excellent choice for a stay in Florence; it is great value for money. In general I would recommend this hotel to anybody.

9.2

Clean and quiet room, excellent position (5 minutes by food from Main station, 3 minutes to the center). Breakfast is so so. Quality vs. Price is excellent!

6.1

A lot of mosquitoes, and the air-con was not working on that day. They did give us a 5Euro discount off our 80Euro price. The male reception staff in the evening shift was not helpful at lot; he should learn from his other much friendlier colleagues/ family members (this is a family run hotel i guess) to improve his communication and service skills. Location was great, truly within close walking distance from the Train station if you have heavy luggages.

9.9

Located very close to train station, extremely convenient. Our room was over the front walkway and there was pedestrian noise, but not a problem. Staff was very helpful with tour info, restaurants, etc. Lots of good restaurants located off of Santa Novella Plaza - check Rick Steve's book. Definitely would return and recommend to others.

5.2

Our first time to Italy. Florence is the second stop. The location of the hotel is good (actually, Florence is very small and within walking distance; i believe most hotels got good location). Compare to the one we have in Rome, Hotel Domus Florentiae is not as value for money. It priced 3-star but with 2-star quality. We were given a room levelled with the public area. When we opened the window in the bathroom, you will see immediately the public area right in front. Besides, the windows were broken. You couldn't close it properly. We told the receptionist; he said he couldn't do anything ('cos it was late - that was not around 8:00p- SIGH). Nothing happened for the following days. We gave up finally. Room was quiet as it faced the inside of the hotel - you won't bother to open your window 'cos one side faced directly into the hotel's public area (you can literally jump out and walk 2 steps over to the TV area!) and the other side opened to the window sill of another room - which you can also walk over within 2 steps. Bathroom ammenities is so-so, though it was spacious (unneccessarily). there isn't a hook in the bathroom for hanging towels/ clothes. The room itself is so-so. definitely not spacious. Our one large and one small suitcases have filled the entire room already. The only thing i consider ok is that the are wi-fi connected. free. but i'm sure you'll get it from most hotels. one other thing - it has elevator - which is convenient if you are travelling with heavy luggage. Breakfast also so-so. The "lobby" of the hotel is always dark - no light. You need to be careful if you got back at night. You will find yourself looking for the elevator in the dark...

7.9

We were very pleased with the hotel and the surroundings. I like a small hotel and well furnished.

10

beautiful hotel and gracious staff. a little noisy overlooking the street, but that was to be expected. we had a wonderful stay

8.2

Very near train station; Adequate, filling breakfast.

10

I came to Florence on a short visit to hear a pupil of mine sing at the Teatro Communale. We found the hotel to be everything that previous enthusiasts had reported - comfortable, staff very polite and helpful, breakfast quite enough - and the siting couldn't have been better. I will certainly return to this hotel on another visit.

6.7

This would have been a great stay if the wifi had worked for me but it did not and I had to go to an Internet Cafe where the wifi worked perfectly.

7.2

Didn't meet anyone. The area was noisy with buskers outside and pedestrian traffic going to the nearby train station at all hours - high heel shoes & suitcases being wheeled across cobblestone areas. Also delivery vans early in the morning.

8.7

We chose this hotel for its closeness to the train station. It is central to all major attractions and we consider everything was in easy walking distance. Though we travelled in winter, we had the window open and the noise from the street was a bit loud during the night. Have no hesitation in recommending this hotel, especially if you want one near the station

6.5

The map and directions provided were not very helpful so I suggest you google map it beforehand. It's in a small street next to SMN, kinda dark with steps leading up the hotel so be prepared. A big old mirror in the room was kinda dirty but the cupboard and safe was really cool! Hotel staff were semi-friendly and only speak when spoken to. Place is conveniently located and they have a terrace where you can have breakfast which is pretty sweet.

8.0

We stayed very well

9.5

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again.

9.8

I chose the hotel for its location and price, within walking distance from the train station and everything else. But once there Wow beautiful spacious rooms, friendly staff, great breakfast. Loved it this a 5 star in American standards

7.5

The young lady at the reception is certainly very helpful.

7.0

This is a reasonably price, for Florece, hotel that is clean and friendly. The location is excellent - opposite St Maria Novella Cathedral and a short walk to the Duomo. It is a few minutes walk to both the bus station and railway station which is extremely handy. It is in a no-car street so if you have a lot of luggage you may struggle, though it is not far to go. Lots of cafes in the street alongside the hotel. I would use it again but the room I had was very small though it had all I needed and suited me OK. Good value for Florence. Don't miss the opportunity to go into the St. Maria Novella Cathedral.

8.1

This was our first time in Florence and the city is beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone. The position of the hotel is very good as it is just around 5 minutes walk from the Cathedral and the historical centre of Florence. The Hotel is vry convenient being just few minutes walk from the train station and exactly in Piazza Sta Maria Novella. Restaurants are very easy to come about and the food offered is very good in the ones we had been too. Prices tend to vary very much and one must be on the look out for a service charge that is not always specified on the menu. The hotel was very clean and breakfast was good although not abundant. At times, there is noise heard from the outside of the hotel. WSe enjoyed our stay at the Domus Florentiae and would recommend it as value for money and return any time.

9.8

Florence museum(statue of David ),leonardo da vinci museum , ponte vecchio bridge all within easy walking distance of the hotel.Loved the stay in Florence , Will happily return to florence and use this hotel again.

6.2

L'hôtel est facilement localisable. Il y a un ascenseur au rez-de-chaussée que nous n'avons découvert qu'en fin de séjour, sinon il y a une volée d'escaliers plutôt décourageante pour les moins valides. L'accueil multilingue n'est pas à la hauteur; les renseignements exploitables sont très limités. Nous avons connu des problèmes de chasse d'eau ainsi que de flexible de douche et de baignoire. L'air conditionné dans notre chambre fut bruyant et tout à fait inefficace. Le bruit sur la terrasse est insupportable. Il est impossible de dormir fenêtre ouverte. Le petit-déjeuner ( croissants, le beurre et le café) est fade, à la limite de l'acceptable. Y rester pour un très court séjour pourquoi pas mais avec une chambre qui donne exclusivement sur la piazza de Santa Novella. Le cadre de l'hôtel est cependant agréable... Nous y avons été dans le cadre de notre lune de miel, l'hôtel nous réservant en délicate attention une bouteille de vin à notre accueil. Merci.

8.5

Nice hotel by the railway station, 5 min walking to the center. Well preserved old building and interior decoration.

8.3

We stayed in the Double standard, the room was OK, we arrived late at night and the receptionist was very friendly and gave us a map and marked the sightseeing places were we could go. The only thing we were disappointed was that there was no hot water, so basically we couldn't shower. I don't know if it was our room or all the rooms as we didn't ask the receptionist as we were there for just one night. Ah yes also, for anyone who doesn't find the hotel (we searched for it and it was just in front of us...), the entrance is a normal door and inside there is the real entrance to the hotel. The number is a bit hidden (2), yet after sometime we found the hotel.

9.7

4 days very very good!!!!!

8.4

Great value for money. Really good location - close to station and easy walking distance of everything. Staff really helpful and friendly. Breakfast a bit bland but can't fault anything else. Would recommend it to anyone and would certainly stay there again.

6.4

The hotel is located at the pedestrian part of the city, so be careful about where to leave your car. The large parking places near the hotel have "hourly rate only" and are quite expensive. If you arrive by train, no problem, since the train station is quite near. The breakfast is OK and one can enjoy it outside, on a terrace. Even though we asked for a double room, got a twin one.

8.6

Wonderful quality considering price we paid for room, very close to train station and not at all difficult to find, as was indicated in some comments. Would definitely stay there again should i travel to Florence in future. A bit noisy during night as a baby was staying next door but no noise from the street, atleast in room we stayed in. We stayed 1 night. thumbs up!

7.1

I had a tiny single room which would have been fine for one night except for the pigeons that were very nearby and seemed to be noisily active most of the night. The shower was broken but not unusably so. Very convenient for the station and friendly staff.

8.1

Very good location especially since we we're taking the train to Venice. However, it would have been nice to know that there was an on-going construction just a few meters from the hotel.

8.6

No in room WFI, directions given by Vebere sgould be written as follows..."coming out of Railway Station..follow left side of SMN wall, hotel is directly opposite wall, approximately half way down"

9.1

great location close to the train station. only complaint is the breakfast was so-so with no fresh coffee - only a machine - we love our italian coffee in the morning!

9.4

Perfect!

4.3

Very near the railway station. Double room facing the piazza and above a cafe, extremely noisy all the time including through the night. Avoid a room at the front at all costs. Adequate furniture, very modest breakfast. Over-priced for what it provides.

7.8

It needs some work in the painting. Nice bed and good bathroom. well placed to visit the center

8.9

easy to findout and very good location that you can walk to the interesting point.this hotel is very quiet especialy at night some time i feel scared of being lonely.the terrace of coffee rome should be more decorate that we can use for breakfast.

7.3

Good location within 5 minutes of railway station and excellent base for seeing all the sights on foot. First problem was that the lift wasn't working so we had to carry cases up the stairs then Venere booking quoted my christian name rather than surname so we nearly didn't get a room. Room was ok but quite cool and we couldn't get heating to work. Most heat came from the heated towel rail in the bathroom but this only came on in the evening. Walls of room quite thin and we could hear people in adjoining room, whereas there was little noise from pedestrian area outside. The room was very clean but quite dark. Breakfast was very good and (in the summer) you could take this onto the balcony adjoining the breakfast room.

9.5

Really lovely hotel - great location (2 mins from station and about 5 mins from main sights) and very friendly and obliging staff. Room was quite noisy at night if window was left open, but once closed could hardly hear anything from outside. Would definitely come back and stay again!

10

Wonderful hotel, best for price, very nice people working there and so close to the train station!!! within walking distance of all attractions, I would recommend this hotel to all

8.0

very near to Train station(5 mins walk)we had heavy luggage so we tght it was accessable. some site seeing places are at walking diatance, so can save lotsa time.very ideal if have very short time to see many places or commuting to any other city...

8.6

Ours was a quickie 3 day break. We flew Ryanair from Liverpool to Pisa. Terravision (what a confidence building name) coach to the rail station (70mins- 16 euros return), where the coach parks at the top of the ramp immediately in front of the station on the left looking at the station. Go down the walkway ramp towards the church. Cross the dual carriage way and turn right alongside the left of the church and you will see the hotel on the left. It had a HOTEL sign with flags below it and an illuminated “Domus Florentiae” neon sign. Reception is up a floor. We found the staff were great. Very helpful and extremely friendly. It took us about 3 minutes to walk the 150 metres to the bus. Our room was brilliant once we had mastered the toilet flush which appeared to have a mind of its own (or maybe it was us). The only thing we could find wrong was that a previous guest had broken one of the knobs on the multijet shower. However a quick word with the ever helpful reception and we were shown if we pushed the remaining spindle upwards we got a great hot shower. Breakfast was excellent with the usual cereals muesli orange juices and coffee/tea. There were also hot croissants, filled buns, yogurts and fruit. It was help yourself with a member of staff there to help if necessary. Excellent. Our room was at the front of the hotel behind the flags. Unfortunately the Italians have not yet mastered the art of talking at below 2000 decibels when wandering home at two o clock in the morning fortified by a few bottles of vino (just like the English). So if you are a very light sleeper like myself you may get disturbed a few times although double glazing is fitted. My wife snored away happily all night. The Dumo and the Bridges are no more than 5 minutes walk. The Academia is about 15 minutes dawdle along the river bank. There are lots of little restaurants where for about 25 euros you will get a half litre of house red, two pasta/pizza, sweats and coffee. A Great Hotel!

6.4

First time in this hotel.

8.2

good location, close to the train station but at the same time in a quiet street

8.6

We find this hotel to be good value for money. It is near to Florence train station. Walking distance to the main sights, shops & tourist attractions. Best of all, it has a lift/elevator - even though it is small & slow - going to the 1st floor where they are located. Our superior-size room was pretty, clean & spacious, facing the alley next to the Church. We got twin beds joined as double bed & one single bed. The room can easily fit 3 people. The bathroom was clean and good size too. The simple continental breakfast was good, especially the yummy cafe latte in the mornings. The staffs were friendly and helpful.

9.6

We highly recommend this hotel to other travelers! The price, room description, and location were all as advertised. The hotel is literally across the street from the train station which made it convenient for travel. It is also within a five minute's walk of the town center. We traveled with a 15 month-old. The hotel provided us with a cot in the room (plenty of floor space). We never heard a sound when the windows were closed even though the hotel is located along a busy road. The breakfast was more than adequate and they provided milk for our little one. One warning...we had a rental car and elected to park it in the train station underground lot. Do not do this for a long period of time (24 hrs) and expect it to be cheap. Our ticket was 115 euro! Coordinate with the hotel to park in their lot across the street. Other perks: there is an internet cafe next to the hotel's front entrance. They are very cheap (1 euro for 15 minutes). There is also a small restaraunt with take-away food - great for taking back to the room.

7.9

I stayed in a Single room, which was actually quite spacious. I had a king-single bed (3 quarters of a double bed). My room opened onto the very small central courtyard. I arrived very late on Sat night, so I was looking forward to a sleep in, but the bells from the Santa Maria church rang continuously for Sunday Mass. That was lovely for atmosphere, but not so great for sleep. The bathroom was very well appointed and again, spacious for a single room. The shower was great. The lift didn't work when I arrived, but the receptionist came down to meet me and carried up my large suitcase for me. The lift was working when I left the next day. Great location for the train station. Closer than it appeared on the map. All in all, the only thing I could fault was the price - I paid about 114Euros for the single room for the night.

7.6

Excellent and serviceminded staff. Coffee in breakfast room was AWFUL. Made on instant coffee and hot water from the tap !!

7.7

This is a lovely, well appointed hotel.The breakfastroom was charming and the breakfast was very good. the staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Our only criticism is that when we changed our plans and decided to stay two extra days,we had to change rooms to a smaller, less well appointed room.We wouldn't have minded except that we were charged the same amount for the smaller room. Two less important points: there are no bath mats and there is only one luggage rack in the double rooms.

9.7

We stayed in a triple room for two nights in September. We were very happy with the room and the service we received. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends.

8.7

This hotel is great value. Very close to the main train station, and pretty easy to find. The staff was very nice, and the breakfast was decent. I will definitely consider staying here again.

3.7

A very disappointing hotel. Only a few rooms all on one floor of a converted building with no public space. Poor plumbing, tiny shower and a below average breakfast. Staff were very glum and not friendly or helpful.

9.9

We had a wonderful stay here! The location was fabulous! Just steps away from the train station and walking distance to anywhere! It was perfect!!

9.5

Beautiful room with excellent architecture, furniture, bath. Only downside was that the A/C took forever to work, and it was warm outside, so we were very toasty. This was the only drawback, but a major one, and I would check it first thing if you were to stay here, and if it doesn't work request another room pronto. Location was excellent, close to tourist stops, shopping, and good food. Overall, would recommend, but would definitely recommend if the A/C situation was fixed.

8.8

We've had a very nice stay and enjoyed the services quality and welcoming. The superior rooms are a little bit noisy except for n°101. Standard room are nice and quiet though.

7.5

At the beginning of the week, the breakfast was substantial, but dwindled through-out our stay, as if if they ran out of food from the first day, they just didn't replace that item. All else was fine.

8.1

This is a very nice boutique style hotel which is very convenient to railway station and bus station for airport buses. Convenient also for San Lorenzo market and adjacent to S M Novella Church. Easy walking to all attractions. I would stay at this hotel again should I return to Florence. Staff very helpful.

7.4

Personal de atención al publico muy atentos y simpaticos. Excelente situación por tranquilidad de la zona y proximidad a todo el centro historico y comunicaciones (tren y buses)

9.8

The Domus Florentiae is a nice and quiet hotel in a central location. It is within easy walking distance of all the main tourist sites and the railway station. It is clean and tastefully decorated and offers an efficient service.

4.7

Hotel is close to station but difficult to find.Go right out of station,down to island,head for Santa Maria Novella church in front of you.You want the street at left of church. Room was a superior room as requested but did face the street unlike the description-very disappointing!. Also, it was next to breakfast room and kitchen.Noise from the street and Hotel courtyard each night. Cleaning staff did attempt to be quiet in the morning. Hotel location fine for all the sights in Florence.

7.2

Nice surprise. Never thought about staying in that part of the Piazza Santa Maria la Novella (I've been already more than 40 times to Firenze), as this street always looked to me as "cheap" area. The hotel is excellent to the standard of an Italian 3 stars hotel, staff friendly and helpful, rooms clean, quiet, and mine fairly big (I think I was upgraded. Only weak point is the breakfast, althought sufficient I would say that choice is not that big.

9.8

Excellent séjour et hotel irréprochable. Prestations de grandes qualités Difficile de trouver l'hotel et impossible de gare sa voiture à moins d'y mettre le prix. L'emploi du Français trop rare de la part des employés.

9.8

I HIGHLY recommend staying at Domus Florentiae. The service was unbeatable, and the quality of the rooms was astounding for a reasonable price. We also stay 2 days at Alba (in Florence) for the same price, and it wasn't even half of the value (or service). The location is ideal for those on the train who want to be close to downtown, and the safety, service, and breakfasts were as good or better than most places. This was the best hotel during out 3 weeks through Italy...

9.8

This is a wonderful hotel--fantastic service, beautifully decorated, quiet location. I would recommend this location to anyone traveling to Florence. Single rooms are a bit small; double rooms are quite comfortable and reasonably sized. A little difficult to find as the street is not visible from the train station. My son and I enjoyed our stay very much. Excellent value!

8.5

If you are looking for a centrally located place to stay that offers a nice clean place to sleep and have a simple breakfast this is it! Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.

9.9

It's one of the best Hotels I've ever seen. And I do travel a lot (for work) and know quite a few good 4/5 star hotels. The rooms (a triple, in this case) was huge. No dirty carpet on the floor, but good wood. Nice florentine furniture. HUGE bed (king size, I believe). The bathroom even had a jacuzzi!!!The breakfast was just ok, but they do have a lovely breakfast room, and you can also enjoy the terrace. Very clean, very good, and inexpensive. Great little Hotel.

9.7

We had a great hotels in all three cities...Venice, Florence and Rome. Thank You

8.8

We would recommend this hotel. We only stayed one night, but there is nothing we could fault.

9.9

We loved florence, the hotel was very nice and clean good location for those traveling by train & close to many churches and museums. We are a familly of four. We stayed in a triple room with our 6year old daughter and our baby. the rooms very comfortable great shower. The breakfast was very nice as well nice friendly staff. At night a little noisey but just for a while. I would go back and stay at this hotel we where quite happy!!

9.7

A lovely small hotel, definitely to be suggested to anyone. Very nice rooms, decorated with care, nice and romatic atmosphere. I'll go back there if I come again to Florence.

9.2

The Domus Florentiae was my favourite hotel of my European holiday. The rooms we're charming and the bathroom quite large and the location ideal. My wife was also very impressed. The only problem we had was with a couple of pesky mosquitoes in the room.

9.7

Hotel Domus Florentiae was great. Rooms where clean and spacious with luxurious draperies. The bathrooms where new and clean as well. Plenty of coffee for breakfast. Our room was facing the plaza and there was a lot of noise during the night - ask for a room which does not face the plaza unless you like people-watching.

8.7

The hotel was very centrally located, the staff were extremely helpful,the disability features of our room were very good and breakfast adequate.

6.2

Music in foyer too loud

9.9

Small, well-appointed hotel in great location close to the Santa Maria Novella Train Station and across the street from the Santa Maria Novella Church. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

9.9

This hotel was everything I wanted for our stay in Florence. Beautiful surroundings, so close to the station and a few minutes walk from all the fantastic sights. We will definitely use it again when we return to Florence

6.9

Very conveinent to the train station. Good air conditioning and very clean rooms. A bit noisy at night due to the bar next door.

4.4

When we arrived we noted that the room was not as cool as we would have liked, so we ajusted the air conditioning down the night was hot and we were forced to open the window overlooking the street.We complained only to be told that the air conditioning was falty and the engineer had been called.The air conditioning never worked during our stay and the management had to be asked for a reduction in cost of the room and were reluctantly offered 10%.We were not impressed with the management style!

9.6

Très clean et proche de tout. Sans mauvaise surprise !

7.9

Good location. Friendly staff. Very clean. Would go back again.

7.7

ottima posizone, facile da raggiungere dalla stazione e confortevole.In città altri alberghi molto più cari non offrono gli stessi vantaggi.Tornerò e lo consiglierò

9.8

Surprisingly pretty and spacious room. Good breakfast service. Convenient but somewhat yucky location

9.8

Highly recommended! The hotel is very conveniently situated between the main railway station and the historic city centre. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our room faced towards the back and was very quiet, clean and pleasantly furnished. The bathroom was nice and spacious - all that marble adds a lovely touch of luxury. Our only niggle, and it is a very small one, is that they should really serve proper fruit juice at breakfast. Look out for the delightful crochet mats on the tables in the breakfast room during the day - the idea of a hotel with its very own crochet designer really made me smile.

7.8

the room was at the first level and is very noise at night. I think the rooms at the higher level are better.

9.9

We highly recommend this hotel. It is away from the crowds yet convenient to all major sites in walking distance. The hotel lobby and rooms are charming and nicer than the internet pictures. The staff was wonderful -informed, helpful and witty. We will make this our place to stay in Florence. You get more than what you pay for!

8.0

The hotel is in an excellent location right next to the Santa Maria Novella church and piazza. The rooms facing the front are a bit noisy at night with windows open. Decor and furnishing are excellent, especially the bathrooms. The hotel should provide better directions for guests driving since the hotel is not on a road itself. The garage service was however very good. Breakfast is a bit meagre and the front desk service could be a bit more service oriented. Overall, a highly recommended hotel in Florence.

8.1

El hotel es muy bonito y esta situado a solo 150 mts de la estacion de trenes. La relacion precio calidad es muy buena y es altamente recomendado para una estadia en Florencia. El desayuno no es muy variado pero no es malo.

10

Excellent value for money hotel. Unmatched loaction being REALLY 50m from train station. Hotel was newly renovated. Was treated to friendly receptionist upon arrival. Pleasantly surprised by free upgrade to honeymoon suite. My picky wife could not find a single fault (but then she does not eat breakfast, which I found to be below average). good good good... stay here

9.6

Very nice, clean hotel. The best I stayed in Italy. Not 4 or 5 star bacause probably there is no bathtube and rooms are small. Should be 4 star at least!

8.6

very good hotel and nice location. Room is new, but need to keep more cleaning, there is already dust. Next time I will stay in this hotel again at Firenze. See you soon.

6.6

The hotel was very close to the train station...maybe a 7-10 minute walk...so the location was good. But, our room overlooked the street and it was a busy area. Thankfully, the street was not open to traffic, so that made it a bit quieter. The staff was not as welcoming as we had experienced at our other hotels in Italy. There was a good breakfast provided, so that is always nice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but were thankful it was only for one night.

9.4

Excellent hotel, very beautiful view (from the rooms on front, specifying this choice on your reservation might be a good idea) and very friendly and helpful staff. We checked out at 11.30 AM but they kept our luggage until 5 pm with no surcharge. We wished that the windows were soundproof, due to the high noise coming from the street, though we can say this is absolutely the only problem we met in this wonderful hotel. If you come here by train, it's definitely the best choice you can make for your stay in Florence. Albergo eccellente, ottima vista (dalle stanze anteriori, meglio specificare all'atto della prenotazione), staff molto amichevole e professionale. Abbiamo lasciato la camera alle 11.30 ma non ci sono state difficoltà di sorta a lasciare i nostri bagagli in custodia fino alle 17 senza sivrapprezzo. Avremmo apprezzato delle finestre isolanti, a causa dell'elevata rumorosità della strada sottostante, ma possiamo dire che questo è stato il solo neo di un albergo assolutamente eccellente. Se, come noi, opterete per visitare Firenze in treno, questo albergo sarà senz'altro la scelta migliore.

9.2

To tell you the truth, we had no expectation of this hotel when we booked it. It turned out to be more than expected. Close to the station, but once inside, it was very quiet. Our "double superior" room was spacious and elegantly decorated. Bathroom is huge with a bath tub. Breakfast was not much but enough for us. One hitch was that a jacuzzi in our room didn't work for some reason.

9.8

Great location, staff and service very good. I would stay again in the future. Oct. 2004
