My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were extremely simple, with just the essentials, but they were kept clean. The staff was cordial and helpful, which was a plus.

The hotel is conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from Florence railway station, making it great for exploring the city. The rooms have high ceilings, but cleanliness could be improved. The service was below expectations, especially the broken air conditioner. The location is ideal for getting around the city easily. The breakfast was disappointing, not matching the advertised pictures. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room was not the most comfortable, with some issues in functionality and a damp smell, it did feel spacious and secure. Unfortunately, there was no coffee or tea in the room. Service was a bit of a letdown with some unfriendly encounters, particularly the delay in finding a new room and the insistence on immediate city tax payment. On the bright side, the location was excellent, just a stone's throw away from the train station, making it convenient to explore the city. The dining experience varied, with a good range of food suitable for vegetarians but with limited options. The facilities, however, were not up to par, especially with subpar air conditioning. Overall, there were both positives and negatives to my stay.

The hotel is ideal for small individuals since the rooms are tiny, simple, and dated, but the staff is friendly and helpful. The shower lacks space and light, and the value for money is decent. The service is a mix of dismissive behavior and prompt, smiley interactions. The location is convenient for transportation and sightseeing, close to the city center and train station. The dining experience is satisfactory with good breakfast options, except for the Danish pastry. Overall, the facilities are somewhat lacking.

The hotel was really lacking in room decor, giving it a prison cell feel with just a bed, but on the upside, they were clean and somewhat comfortable. The service presented a mix of cozy friendliness and moments of rudeness. Despite being pretty basic, the location was excellent for train travelers and had good value for the price. Dining was nothing to rave about but typical for a continental breakfast.
