The motel room was clean and very comfortable. The staff was courteous and helpful at all times. The breakfast was very good.
A suggestion from me to management, as to send a description of how to enter the motel and how the elevator works prior to arrival would’ve been helpful. Especially for foreign visitors.
Like the central location. I would stay there again.

This place is a real gem in Florence. My family felt very safe with the setup. The location is conveniently located near the train station and great eateries. We never ran out of food options only a 5 min walk away.
Breakfast was also good and they had cappuccinos, freshly baked breads, fresh omelets, juice, deli meats and cheese.
Staff really works hard to make sure you are happy and that’s what we were looking for in a hotel. Will definitely stay here again when we go back to Florence.

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.
