Clean, comfortable room/beds. Great location. Staff was very, very attentive. Very good breakfast.
A special shout out to Concierge Extraordinaire Walter, who helped us out way beyond what I expected! I
Wonderful and clean room. Staff were friendly and helpful. 25 minute or less walk to major sites. Was nice to feel at the edge of the city for less noise and view of the river but still walkable to everything.

We had a wonderful stay. Our room had a balcony with a gorgeous view overlooking Santa Croce and our bed was very comfortable.
Wonderful hotel. Incredible views from the huge rooftop bar/pool deck. Wonderful breakfast buffet with many hot and cold options. Main level bar is beautiful and the seating areas are both well-appointed and comfortable. Both bars offer gratis snacks. View of the river Arno, Piazza el Michelangelo and more from our room window were stunning. You can literally walk almost anywhere in the city from this location.
I’m from the USA - the hotel was amazing! Staff and cleanliness were top notch. The rooftop! Location! All great.
But the bed and pillows ( as most are in Europe - at least in my experience ) were not comfortable at all. I would give them a 2/10.
Great concierge and welcoming staff. Fantastic location being walking distance to all sightsand great views. Very helpful and friendly and good food but couldn’t eat in main restaurant as closed Sunday and Monday but rooftop terrace nice for good food but slow service. Also, pool is just a box and more of a cooling down pit, you can’t swim in it! Nice bar area too and lots of places to sit.
Nice old building. Rooms clean. Amazing rooftop bar and pool is small but cool.
On the river it’s easy to find walking around. I would stay again or even visit the rooftop bar from another property!
