I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location couldn’t be better, just a short walk from the train station and within easy reach of all the main tourist attractions, including the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and great recommendations. The breakfast was also a highlight, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to start the day right.

The hotel is close to the train station, major sightseeing places, restaurants, supermarket, and Laundromat. All in walkable distance. The room is spacious, clean, and cozy. Breakfast is included but need to order the day before. The elevator is small. If you have big luggages, you may need to take the elevator one person at a time. We love the room we stayed. Highly recommended this hotel.
