Super walkable to most sights and to restaurants. Washrooms are a little small.
Hotel staff were excellent. Would recommend if you're travelling on a budget.
Very easy to get around Florence walking or using public transportation. The front desk person was so nice and he help us with our bags and took that extra mile for us to feel at home very nice experience

We chose it for convenience and location and it delivered that way. But it is a 2 star hotel so we were mindful of that… we opened the balcony door and a cockroach went in our room… while chasing it to kill it we moved the beds/ and notice how stained the mattress was and the wood panels on the box ( base) were broke in some areas making the mattress sink a bit. The furniture is very dated and cheap but the linens were very clean as was the room.
Çok konforsuz bir otel. Odada ne bir su ısıtıcı ne bir mini buzdolabı ne bir bardak su hiçbir şey yoktu. Duş ve tuvaletler inanılmaz derece kötü ve küçüktü, duş perdesi naylon bir örtüydü, tuvalet o kadar sıkışık arada kalmıştı ki oturmak imkansızdı. Eski ve çok gürültülüydü, klima vardı fakat çok gürültülü çalışıyordu. Kısaca otelin Merkeze yakınlığı dışında hiçbir olumlu tarafı yoktu.
Camas nada confortáveis e super antigas(camas de estrado de molas) internet sem ligação, alguns percalços, mudanças de quarto, quarto frio.

Eenvoudig maar prima hotel in het centrum
Geen luxe maar prima hotel met vriendelijk personeel en een goede hygiëne. Er is geen lift maar de kamers met prima bedden, liggen op de eerste en tweede etage maar is goed te doen.
Het hotel ligt op loopafstand van het centrum. Wij hadden er een prettig verblijf mede door de eigenaar en het vriendelijke personeel, die graag goede adviezen geven.
Personale molto cordiale e disponibile alla reception. Stanza piccolina ma carina, ben arredata. Il bagno davvero molto piccolo, con una doccia che non ha una separazione netta dal pavimento del bagno, che quindi tende ad allagarsi. Climatizzatore super rumoroso. Dal pozzo di luce proveniva un odore che definirei non piacevole

Firenze 2 /4 giugno
Hotel situato in un punto strategico e comodo per raggiungere vari punti della città. Ambiente abbastanza confortevole e cordiale ..purtroppo il bagno in camera era poco fornito di sapone e asciugamani ...peccato! ...per il resto accettabile per un 2 stelle.

Nice quiet, clean room of reasonable size. Friendly staff. Good location. Free WIFI.
However the beds were very uncomfortable. We had twin beds: one mattress had springs sticking out, the other mattress was really hard and the bed squeaked every time one moved in the bed. Also the shower cubical was the smallest I have even been in and I'm only 5'2"!
Proprietario accogliente disponibile simpatico , stanza : letto scomodissimo materasso molle , rete scomoda rumorosa bagno scomodo doccia sul wc colazione non compresa nel prezzo della camera 5 euro a persona pessima soldi sprecati meglio andare al bar . La posizione è ottima tranquilla a due passi dal centro accanto all hotel c'è un ristorantino vegano (per me )economico e buonissimo e un po' più in là c'è un ristorante tipico da Mimmo per il mio compagno carnivoro economico ed ottimo
Quest hotel lo consiglio solo per brevi soggiorni
Ho viaggiato nel febbraio 2016, posizione dell'hotel ottima perche centrale, unica pecca odio i "matrimoniali" che in realtà sono due letti uniti, specialmente se non viene segnalato, e nell'annuncio i prezzi erano compresi di tassa di soggiorno ma mi è stata fatta pagare in piu.
I muri e il bagno erano un po antiquati.
Three words: Stay somewhere else! This place was dirty, uncomfortable and hot.

wifi and beds were disappointing
The hotel is easy to get to as it is on a road that divides the city into 2 so it is convenient.
The wifi is only available in the lobby/dining area with no comfortable seating so it makes it not convenient.
The beds are 2 twin beds pushed together which were horrible. The Owner and his 2 daughters run the hotel and were very friendly and accommodated us for an additional night on the discounted rate that hotels.com had to offer.
For my wife and i the bed was a total turn off.
