Staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic. Any little issues that came up were quickly dealt with. A great stay.
We visited as a family of four sharing two rooms. The hotel staff were very friendly and an ideal location near to the river. Easy 25 min walk to the centre.

The property has lots of road works … which increases the cost of any taxi trips … the reception staff were always helpful and we had an early check in … irons are not available to the room there is an ironing room … I checked with the hotel before we traveled and took our own steamer… the breakfast has a good selection the staff again were great … we ate at the hotel bar one night and the food options and food were good .
I dont believe the air is turned on until May in Italy atleast thats what we were told in Balogna. It was mid April faily warm day and room didn't seem to be too warm. The room was very clean and staff was helpful. Pretty decent breakfast. We ran out of toilet paper and the cleaning people must not have noticed when cleaning our room. I asked at front desk and they brought two rolls to our room very quickly. The noise from the rooms above us could be quite noisey because tike instead of carpet. Pretty good location. Overall I would rate it a 4.
We enjoyed the walkable location of the hotel. The breakfast was the best of any hotel during our 2 weeks in Italy. Dinner at the hotel was delicious, out of convenience we ate there a couple nights. The room was comfortable and clean.
Staff were very helpful and nice, rooms had everything you needed and it was perfect for my short 2 night stay, however the walls were paper thin! To the point I could hear another guest snoring. I’m not sure if this is because we were in the newly refurbished south wing but the walls need some serious work to make them a little more sound proof from others.
A very nice hotel away from the hustle and bustle. It is clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is lovely and there is a lot of choice. We would definitely be staying there again when back in Florence!
Everyone working here was great. Very polite and helpful. Great air conditioned rooms . Breakfast was included . Evening dinner here was also very good.
