Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This was the worst hotel stay of my life. The owner and his wife screamed at each other all night and day. The owner entered our room while we were sleeping. The owner yelled at me when I went to check out and requested a printed copy of my receipt. I paid the bill, and then he grabbed the paperwork, yelled at me, and stormed out. When he came back, I used Google translate on my phone to help make sure I hadn't said something wrong given the language barrier. Again, using Google translate on my phone, I apologized for any confusion and asked for a printed copy of the bill. He yelled at me and grabbed me by my wrists and shook me. My sister and I had already paid, so we grabbed our luggage and left immediately. I would NEVER recommend this hotel to anyone given the experience. I have never been yelled at before like this-- much less assaulted.

Noisy hotel

My hotel room was nice, but noisy during the night and very early morning. People talking loud and doors slamming. The hotel is located on the second floor, but there is no elevator from the street to the first floor this is a struggle when traveling with heavy luggage. The hotel is conveniently located two blocks away from the train station.

Maravilhoso

Não tenho palavras para explicar o acolhimento neste hotel. Me senti em casa. O quarto era lindo! A cama super confortável. O banheiro e o quarto sempre limpo. O café da manhã delicioso com tudo muito bem preparado. E ainda, o sr que nos servia com toda cortesia e gentileza. Localização ótima, próxima aos pontos turísticos e à estação de trem, o que nos facilitou a viagem a outras cidades próximas Florença.

Basic hotel in good location

Initial problem with the hotel unable to trace my online booking, but fortunately a room was available. One of several hotels in the same building. Clean, functional and (by Florentine standards) reasonably cheap, but very basic - a bit of a throwback to the 1980s (but not in a retro way). My room was at the front and so subject to a lot of street noise – especially the cleaning at about 1am. Very convenient location, close to the railway station and the sights. Proprietor was friendly enough, but did not speak English and seemed reluctant to speak Italian slowly enough for me to understand.

Perfect fot a few days

My bedroom was really big. It has air conditioner and TV. Beds comfortable. The staff at the reception very nice and helpful. The only inconvenience I found is that there is no shampoo and the reception is not 24h. Keep in mind that it's not a hotel, it's a pension. Definetly I would repeat

Cercano a estacion de trenes

El hotel es aceptable en cuanto al precio, es atendido por sus dueños, un señor mayor amable, quien decide como dueño de casa. Contratamos dos noches, salimos el primer día, al regresar al hotel, nos habían cambiado de habitación, trasladando todas nuestras pertenencias, los pasaportes habían quedado en la caja de seguridad, no podíamos acceder a la habitación anterior porque ya estaba ocupada, por lo que tuve que entregarle la llave de la caja y él saco mis documentos. El colchon de la nueva habitacion tenia los resortes salidos, un desastre.
