Perfect location and perfectly nice
This place is no frills for sure and the room is small. However, it was affordable and in a perfect location about halfway between the main train station and the Duomo. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was continental. Just what you need to get some fuel in the morning and get going.

A great place to spend the night while visiting Florence. It is 5-minute walk from the train station. It is within walking distance of most things in the Florence center. Clean, friendly, practical. I has a small room with a bed and the essentials. But what more did I need. I only spent the night sleeping. For that, is was quiet and comfortable—an excellent value for the price.

Very pleasant stay, I would return
The staff/owners of this place are the finest and friendly people and I enjoyed my stay a lot thanks to them. The hotel felt homey and comfortable although of course has some areas of improvement, but overall I feel at home and I’d return. I had no problem with the wifi, my only inconvenient was that the actual balcony attracts mosquitoes, so I would advise to spray some repellent.

The woman at the front desk was very helpful to me despite our language difference.. The staff were very friendly. The shower had very nice water pressure. They cleaned the room perfectly everyday. We didn't eat there but the dining area was very cute . The location was perfect. Very reasonable price for the 6 nights we stayed. Perfect for the budget if you don't need anything fancy .. I would stay here again ..

Can't ask for a better location! You can see the Duomo from the entrance, and is also very close to the main train station. Very lively area, no breakfast on site (I think), but there are so many eating options right nearby.
