Avoid! Awful, shabby and dangerous room.
I don’t like giving negative reviews so positives first. Location in central Florence excellent & close to the station. Staff were friendly. Large comfy bed. Good continental breakfast but time available could be extended. Unfortunately, none of the above make up for possibly the worst room I have stayed in, in the last 30 years. Room small, dark & shabby with paint peeling from the walls & scruffy little built in wardrobe. En-suite tiny & very tired. En suite door was hanging dangerously by the upper hinge only, as the lower one had rusted & broken away from the rotten door post. The raincan shower head was broken so very difficult to direct the flow of water in order to have a decent shower. No plug in the sink. No instructions for aircon and couldn’t get it to work, despite using online user manual. The electric went off 3 times during our 4 day stay and we had to pack in the dark. We did consider asking for another room but found out online that the hotel was fully booked. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone, very shoddy and poor value for money. The owners will probably say we should have flagged up the problems but it is clear the damage to the en-suite door, and shower head are not new and they must be aware of them. They just choose not to fix them as they know they’ll always have custom. I actually found a 10 cm piece of door frame down the plug hole & the shower rail & curtain on the floor after maid had been. Smoke alarm was also disconnected in a drawer!

Tired Hotel
The negatives far outweigh the positives of this hotel. It is a great location and the staff could not have been nicer. This is a very tired hotel and very uncomfortable. The carpets are extremely worn and the rooms were clean, but the mosquitoes were relentless. I think the cleaners would leave the Window open when they were cleaning because we were swatting them every night. I do not recommend this hotel.

The hotel was ideally situated to walk around the center of Florence. It was also only a 5 minute walk with luggage to the train station. The breakfast was good but it only started at 8am. They'd do better opening it at 7:30. The hotel was looking a bit shabby in need of some upkeep. Our room was also full of mosquitos despite no windows being open. For the price, it was fine.

Recomendable por la ubicación
El hotel tiene excelente ubicación; la habitacion esta en buenas condiciones, sin embargo la cama esta muy dura, como si estuvieras acostado en el piso, ademas que es muy ruidoso (no se si estaban arreglando algo porque se escuchaban golpes de martillo y taladro) no pudimos dormir bien los dias que estuvimos; el horario del desayuno es muy corto de 8 am a 9:30 am y el que atiende tiene mala actitud, contesta muy feo a los comensales; solo lo recomendaria por la ubicacion

It is well-located, within walking distance of the train station, and other points of interest. There are many options for shopping, dinner, groceries, laundry, and everything you need. The facilities are old and basic, but they are of good value for a short stay for bead and breakfast.
