Stayed here for 3-nights during early October. Hotel is within walking distance to the mall train station, Firenze Santa Maria Novella which is a plus, especially for those who have early trains to catch. Location wise is good - you can walk to Duomo area in about 15-20 minutes. The hotel itself is old which is expected being that it’s Florence. Please note, the hotel doesn’t have free irons for you to iron your own clothing - they offer ironing services instead which is not cheap. At this day and time not having an iron to use at hotels is somewhat antiquated. Our room had a balcony overlooking the train station with somewhat of a view of the Duomo. The bathroom could be better, especially the shower since water runs out when showering (you need lots of towels to clean up the water overflow). Being that it’s Florence and majority of the hotels are old, it’s a good hotel and good location. The breakfast was okay - I’ve had better in Florence but hey, it’s free, so can’t really complain.
