Pessimo
Pros:

Struttura al centro di Firenze e a piedi andavi al duomo, quindi la posizione era perfetta.

Nota molto positiva é stata la cortesia del personale, disponibile e cortese in ogni richiesta.

Cons:

Tuttavia, tra le cose che non sono andate sicuramente la colazione perché non c'era scelta se non 2 cornetti confezionati, due salumi e una macchinetta x il cappuccino. Era un piccolo tavolo e niente più. Non disponibile la cena al momento dell'arrivo perché la cucina la aprono solo in alcune circostanze. Per esempio x gruppi di turisti. Mi aspetto prodotti tipici toscani, non come ho letto il giorno della partenza, una pasta con il pesto.

La camera era piccola e "vecchia" e quando di una vista panoramica io mi aspetto una vista direttamente sul duomo, non ha vista su altri palazzi e che si veda la punta finale del duomo.

Great location, nice rooms & breakfast included
Pros:

I booked this hotel last minute on Booking.com and got a very good rate for same day booking. I loved my room & location so much I booked for another night. Air conditioning is nice, hot shower and loved my windows that opened up to see the courtyard. The breakfast was sufficient and the staff very polite. The view from their bar area is very peaceful! Loved having a limoncello night cap out there, I’d definitely book again. The only complaint is the WiFi on my 3rd floor room was spotty and most of the time didn’t work. I will also say that if you get room 337- it can be loud until midnight as the rooftop bar is right outside your window- as well the stairs are nearby and you will hear a lot of that noise!

Cons:

My room location was a little loud. I could hear people at the rooftop bar that was open until midnight. As well the location to the staircase was loud- a very loud echo from people walking and talking.

Отель уставший , цена не соответствует отелю . Завтрак отвратительный , он больше похож на 2 * отеля . Не удобные подушки . В описании отеля не написано , что отель находиться в зоне ZTL ( .мы это выяснили сами )

Ottimo hotel per visitare la città
Pros:

Posizione ottima, mi hanno accontentato per la richiesta della camera con vista, colazione varia e buona

Cons:

Hotel un po' labirintico (hanno dovuto accompagnarci per farci vedere dov'era la camera!) ma non è stato assolutamente un problema per noi!
Alcuni membri dello staff non sono molto accoglienti
