Beautiful hotel in great location, if a little pricey!
Pros:

Beautiful hotel in a wonderful location - near the train station and walkable to all the sights of Florence.

Cons:

Very small things but the rooms weren’t particularly soundproof and the pool is only small (however we didn’t actually use it and thought the rooftop area was gorgeous in the evening for drinks)… drinks were very expensive though, compared to some surrounding restaurants.

nie poleciłabym znajomym...
Pros:

Podobała mi się lokalizacja i ogólne wrażenie w hotelu, wystrój , zapach

Cons:

pokój premium de lex, okazał się być norką z widokiem na patio ( była możliwość zmiany widoki za 150 EUR dodatkowo..., na śniadaniu jajecznica z proszku, fajnie ale nie w tego typu hotelu..., 1 wszy raz spotkaliśmy się z obowiązkiem rezerwowania wejścia do fitnessu..., basen zamykają już o 19 czyli nie można wieczorem posiedzieć i podziwiać widoków z basenu.

Amazing location, comfortable rooms, good food
Pros:

the hotel's location was amazing. The hotel is newly renovated, so everything was clean and pretty. Our only concern was that the cold water in the bathroom was not really cold but rather lukewarm. That was inconvenient. We were there for 2 nights and did not have a chance to even ask about it.
