The hotel has spacious, clean, and cool rooms ideal for families with a comfortable atmosphere. The service was quite abrupt at times but overall satisfactory. The location is fantastic, offering easy access to both the inner city and the hillsides of Tuscany. The dining experience was good initially but started to lose appeal after several days. The facilities provided were adequate for a pleasant stay.

The hotel offers stylish and extremely clean rooms, a perfect size for two people. Although the initial room had some issues, we were moved to a suite that was much better. The service was pleasant and helpful, but the property could use some renovation. The location is superb, within walking distance of the city center and major attractions. The dining options were adequate but lacked variety. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms felt like prison cells with thick wooden slats at the windows, and the bedding was dirty. The service was a hit or miss with a grumpy staff member giving us the key but friendly and helpful individuals meeting our needs. The location, though a bit remote and affected by noise issues, offered easy access to the city. The dining experience ranged from appalling to fantastic. Despite some shortcomings, the facilities were satisfactory.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The apartment-style rooms were in need of refreshing and updating, some furniture seemed out of place, and there were occasional stale smells. Street noise from the nearby restaurant made it very noisy, especially for rooms facing the street. However, the replacement suite offered was an improvement, although not up to a 4-star standard. Although I won't return to this hotel, the decent breakfast left a good impression. Overall, the hotel felt more like a 2-star accommodation.

The hotel has much potential. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and adequately sized, providing a good night's sleep. However, some may find it too noisy. The location is in a quieter part of Florence, offering a peaceful stay, but the hotel is just inside the circonvallazione. The dining options were average, with limited choices for breakfast, though the rooftop bar and garden are highlights. The service was a mix, with some staff being welcoming and professional, while others lacked helpfulness and knowledge. The facilities are decent, with a high tourist tax rate being a drawback.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The rooms were quite large, accommodating two bedrooms and two toilets for our family of four, but unfortunately, they faced the street where noise persisted until late at night, disrupting our sleep. The rooms also felt uncomfortably warm throughout the weekend, which made the stay less enjoyable.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very large and airy, reminiscent of a 4-star standard, but some aspects were less than ideal. The service, while helpful in small ways like lending wine/beer glasses, lacked attention, especially from the receptionist who seemed distracted. The location, although quieter and residential, wasn't convenient for walking to the train station. The dining was satisfactory but not exceptional. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel rooms were very spacious, which was wonderful. Initially, the room I was given was fine, not noisy or stuffy.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a bit noisy, especially when the neighbors flushed their toilet, and the initial room felt cramped for two occupants. However, once we requested a change, we were offered a much better suite, though not quite a 4-star experience. The service varied from unfriendly with hidden costs to very pleasant and helpful. The location was good, close to the city center, but the style felt dated in a 60s/70s fashion. The dining had its ups and downs with an average offering that could be disrupted by large tour groups. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
