Worth weighing

- Breakfast is simple — The breakfast is described as packaged croissants, yogurt, juice, and coffee — basic but satisfactory.
- Parking requires planning — The hotel is in Florence's restricted driving zone (ZTL), so guests with cars need to coordinate parking in advance.

- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.

8.5Verified guest“The hotel was a lovely base for exploring a pedestrian area, close to the café, the heated towel rack, the train station, and downtown. The air-conditioned rooms had a quiet atmosphere. The food we tried was delicious and they have a wide range of meals to choose from. Overall the service was great. Got ironing free of charge, which was a nice bonus.”
8.5Verified guest“The people who managed this place were very nice. The room was clean and adequate for our two-night stay to go sightseeing in Florence. I liked that they stocked the little fridge with snacks and beverages for purchase. We were a block or two from the Duomo and very close to shopping and food. It's in the restricted driving zone, so plan ahead for parking if you bring a vehicle. Breakfast was packaged croissants, yogurt, juice, and coffee — basic but satisfactory.”
