Staying at this hotel felt like being in a cozy house rather than a standard hotel room. My room had a balcony with a table and chair, which overlooked the plaza, although it resembled more the parking lot. The rooms, dating back to the 1980s, are in desperate need of a makeover. Despite this, they offer a nice view of Brunelleschi's dome.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although plain, were spacious and comfy with stunning views over Piazza Santa Maria Novella. However, the assigned room was disappointing compared to others. The service was excellent overall, with helpful and knowledgeable staff guiding me to great local spots. The location was amazing, just steps away from major attractions in Florence. The dining was average, serving a basic breakfast spread. The facilities met my needs during the stay.

I just had a stay at this hotel, and let me tell you, it's a mixed bag! The rooms, although beautiful and large with a small balcony overlooking part of the Arno, didn't match the pictures on the booking site, which was a bit disappointing. However, the service was top-notch, especially from the housemaid and the front desk staff who were always super helpful. The location is great, just a few blocks from the iconic Ponte Vecchio and other must-see spots in Florence. The dining experience was amazing, offering a buffet with a variety of delicious options. The facilities are spotless and well-maintained, making for a comfortable stay.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, just a few steps from the Ponte Vecchio and Galleria Uffizi, making it easy to explore Florence on foot. However, the room was small and could get a bit noisy being next to the road. The service was a mix of friendly and accommodating with a couple of hiccups, and the dining experience was decent with a variety of tasty options.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms, although on the side of the building providing a 'so-called' view of the river, were newly remodeled and offered fantastic views of the Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio. The temperature control was a bit challenging as the room felt quite cold despite efforts from reception. The presence of 2 double or queen beds like in the US was a great comfort.

The hotel has a charming old-fashioned vibe with comfortable sofas and red curtains in the rooms. While the presence of bugs was a downside, the spotless bathroom added an exotic touch. The hot temperature at times could be uncomfortable, so be prepared for that. The location by the Arno River offers easy access to key attractions, but the dining experience, although tasty, lacked a wide variety. The staff, while not overly friendly, were always courteous and helpful, providing excellent service when needed. Facilities were adequate but nothing extraordinary.
