A perfect getaway to celebrate my birthday.
Pros:

It’s such a nice distance away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the views are amazing. Only about a 10 minute walk to see all the main attractions and still so close to restaurants/shops, etc.

Cons:

Ξεκούραση και άνεση
Pros:

Καθημερινή καθαριότητα με παροχή ειδών υγιεινής, άνετο κρεβάτι, πλούσιο πρωινό και ευγενικό προσωπικό. Όταν ξαναπάω Φλωρεντία, σίγουρα θα το επιλέξω για την διαμονή μου

Pros:

Мы выбрали этот Отель так как в моем любимом SMNW не было мест. Не прогадали. Очень красивый интерьер, высокое качество внутреннего убранства отеля. У нас был вид на реку - берите и будете наблюдать шикарными рассветами. Идеальная чистота в номере, очень дружелюбный персоноал. Вечером можно посидеть в баре гостиницы. Хорошие полноценные завтраки. С удовольствием вернусь снова

Cons:

В один из завтраков мясная гастрономия была с "душком". Мы сказали официантам и тут же все заменили.

Hervorragender Ausgangspunkt, Florenz schnell kennenzulernen
Pros:

Die Nähe zu den wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten (Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizien, Dom, Santa Croce, Palazzo Pitti). Zudem (romantischer) Blick auf den Arno und viele Brücken. Das Zimmer ist für Aktiv-Rollstuhlfahrer ausreichend groß.

Cons:

Für Rollstuhlfahrer: kleine Stufe am Nebeneingang (musste immer "für mich" geöffnet werden). Kleiner Aufzug (für Aktiv-Rollstuhl und 2. Person sehr eng). Barrierefreies Zimmer direkt über der Bar und zur Straße -> nächtliche Geräusche möglich.

Beautiful hotel romantically overlooking the river
Pros:

The hotel is right along a bus stop - so it was easy to arrive from the train station. We were early and the staff was happy to hold our bags until our room was ready. We were lucky to have a room overlooking the Arno river and it was very romantic! This location was perfectly situated between all the sites we wanted to explore. Breakfast was excellent!
