Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were stunning complete with a comfy lounge area and beautiful bedroom. However, they were a bit small with not a lot of room for a second suitcase. The service was exceptional, with very accommodating and friendly staff. The location was lovely, perfect for enjoying the surroundings and close to all the main tourist attractions. The dining experience was pretty good, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel is a modern and clean property with spacious rooms offering a comfortable stay. The friendly and helpful service staff made our visit enjoyable, though there were a couple of minor issues. The tranquil location provided a great escape from the city's hustle and bustle, with excellent access to local attractions.
I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable and lovely stay! The view from our room overlooking the park was fantastic, and the breakfast was delicious. The hotel overall was very cozy.
The hotel had modern and very clean rooms with lovely white fluffy towels, bathrobe, and slippers provided, along with tea and coffee making facilities, making it just perfect. The service was excellent, welcoming, friendly, and very helpful, ensuring a great start to our exploring days in Florence. The location was beautifully laid out and tranquil, providing a great space to relax away from the city's hustle and bustle, with easy access to key tourist attractions. The dining experience offered a fabulous array of options, constantly replenished with fresh foods to suit all tastes and diets. The facilities were top-notch, meeting all our needs during our stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were fresh, big, and very comfy, but being on the street made it very noisy. The service was excellent with a helpful and friendly staff who even took us on a short tour. The location was ideal for exploring Florence but suffered from a noisy street. The dining was nice with good options, and the facilities were up to standard.
The hotel exudes a tranquil ambiance and offers a great escape from the city hustle, with bright and clean rooms that are absolutely stunning. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly, setting the perfect tone for a day of exploring. The location, nestled in an oasis of calm, provided a respite from the hectic city life and was conveniently close to major attractions. The dining experience offered a good mix of continental options and a nice touch of European flavors. Overall, a delightful stay with a peaceful setting and friendly service.
