In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable central location — The hotel is steps from the Riccardi Medici Palace and a short walk from the Duomo and San Lorenzo Basilica, making it easy to explore Florence's historic sights on foot.
  • Spacious, quiet rooms — Guests regularly note the rooms are a good size and quiet despite the central setting, with some opening onto an internal courtyard.
  • Helpful staff and welcome drink — Reception staff are praised for being warm and helpful, and guests receive a free welcome drink on arrival.
  • Good breakfast and dining — The breakfast is consistently well rated, with guests mentioning variety and quality.
  • Value for the category — Some guests reported being upgraded to a higher room category at no extra cost, and the price-to-service ratio scores well.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness could improve — The lowest-rated category, 'Rooms and cleanliness', scores 7, suggesting some guests find the accommodation less polished than the rest of the experience.
  • Street noise possible — While some rooms overlook a quiet courtyard, the hotel is on a lively street with a daily market, so front-facing rooms may experience noise.
  • Limited room variety — With only 29 rooms, availability may be tight during peak travel seasons, and the room types are relatively few.
  • Check-in window — Check-in is available only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals unless the 24-hour reception can assist with luggage.
