The hotel had a few drawbacks like the damp and noisy neighboring room, but overall, the rooms were clean and the continental breakfast was decent. The temperature in the room was uncomfortably hot despite the AC and fan running on high.

Location

The location was somewhat far from the ideal spot in Florence, despite being close to a bus stop. It took around 30 minutes to walk to the city center, and the bus frequency was slow, causing inconvenience. Although it was close to the city center, the outside was not so appealing.

The dining options were basic with a lack of variety, especially during a long stay. The staff were friendly, but the menu was limited, mainly consisting of gluten-heavy choices. Despite handmade pasta being available, the overall offering could have been more diverse.

The facilities were standard with nothing exceptional noted. The hotel lacked standout amenities or features that would elevate the stay. While the basic necessities were covered, it did not offer any extra luxury or perks.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were very cold and far from the city center, and there was no safety deposit box key available. Unfortunately, the loud running noise all night made it hard to sleep. On the bright side, the service was kind and provided great advice for exploring Florence. The location, although not near major attractions, had good shops and restaurants nearby. Despite some shortcomings, the available parking was a plus.
