My stay at the hotel was mixed. The room, while a good size with all the basics, felt small for the number of guests and was quite cold. The service, however, was very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, near the train station and with easy access to the city center. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with a nice selection of pastries.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious with a great balcony that greeted me with sunshine every morning. However, the room felt a bit small for all our luggage. Overall, it's a good choice considering the price, especially since we had both big and small suitcases.

The hotel offers lovely rooms with high ceilings and a balcony, albeit a bit old, but given the great price and location, it's not a major concern. The small room size may cause some inconvenience. The service is exceptional, with friendly and kind staff who go out of their way to assist guests. The location is fantastic, especially for train travelers, near the SMN train station and within a short walk to attractions. The dining experience could be improved with more variety, but the tasty dishes make up for it. Overall, a great value for money stay in old Florence.
