Perfect location, excellent staff.
Pros:

All the staff I came across were as friendly and helpful as you could imagine. This is a quaint and vernacular hotel - 'boutique', if you like - with a perfect location for seeing the major sights by walking. It took me just 15 minutes to get to the Uffizi and Palazzo Vecchio. The Strozzi is half the distance. Some good - and inexpensive - restaurants nearby. All in all it's a very likeable place with a good enough breakfast.

Cons:

My room was a bit small despite having a shared balcony. However, I'm not used to travelling alone, and I believe this is often the case for single travellers. As is common in Italy, walls are thin - the baby next door woke me up a couple of times at night. Again, this is a general point not directed at this specific hotel.
