The hotel offers a convenient location close to the heart of Florence with access to many local amenities, though some areas may have noise due to nearby pubs and restaurants. The rooms, though spacious, had an unpleasant musty smell, old furnishings, and a bed that seemed well-used, which affected my initial impression. The service was friendly, especially for those who are polite, and the location is unbeatable for exploring the city center and reaching the main train station easily. The dining experience, while basic, presented a variety of typical breakfast options; however, the service could be improved for a more pleasant atmosphere. The facilities offered are decent but might need some upgrades for an enhanced experience overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were small and in need of decoration, but they were clean and functional. The noise from the Dublin Bar opposite was quite disruptive until midnight each night. The service was a mix of pleasant and unfriendly encounters. The location was convenient, close to attractions and the train station, yet dining left much to be desired with limited options and unenthusiastic service.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although not huge, were clean and comfortable, but they showed clear signs of wear and tear, which took away from the rustic charm that could have been there. The service was on point with friendly and helpful staff, but the breakfast service, though simple, had a less than ideal presentation. The location was a big plus being very close to the train station and main attractions, particularly the Florence leather market. It was also great to have dining options nearby. However, some areas didn't meet my expectations, such as the room condition and breakfast service.

The hotel is ideally located in the historical center of Florence, making it perfect for budget travelers. The rooms, while small and furnished with older pieces, are surprisingly spacious and spotlessly clean. The street-facing view may be lively due to nearby touristy pubs. The service is friendly and helpful, although the request to leave the key at the reception felt a bit odd. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the train station and right in the heart of everything. The dining experience could improve to offer more vegan-friendly options and accommodate different preferences. Overall, a decent value for money option in a prime location.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, right in the middle of all the sights and very close to the train station. However, the room, though small, was comfortable and clean, but being right opposite the Dublin Bar made it very noisy till midnight each night. The service was professional, polite, and friendly, which was a great aspect. On the downside, the dining experience was horrible, with a not-so-friendly atmosphere.
