這酒店適合可以接受以下特點的人： 1. 靠近景點們和輕軌，逛到一半還可以回去上廁所 2. 可以接受手動搬行李，因為沒電梯 3. 可以接受戴耳塞/噪音，因為隔音不好 4. 房間空間小，但夠用 另外，check in前到，以及check out後都可以寄放行李，很方便。整體而言我住得很舒服。

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.
