Pros:

Struttura molto bella, a pochi passi da ponte vecchio e da tutto il centro, facilmente raggiungibile con l'auto. Ottima accoglienza, colazione super, camere molto belle e funzionali.

Cons:

Unica cosa negativa è il costo del parcheggio , ma non è un problema dell hotel ma di Firenze in generale e delle grandi città. Comunque, anche in questo, il servizio dell hotel è stato impeccabile: lasci la macchina al loro personale e te la riconsegnano alla partenza.

Coccolato e non essendo del posto mi è parso di avere amici in loco (davvero unico lo staff, e nei miei numerosi viaggi
Pros:

Strategica e nuova

Cons:

Peccato il gazebo davanti alla porta di ingresso , capisco la strategia commerciale, ma si potrebbero ricavare posti auto (sgomitando al comune probabilmente, non sono del luogo)
