Stay away from this place
Pros:

Location is not too far from the train station which was convenient to explore the Tuscany

Cons:

My husband spontaneously decided to make a surprise and join me for the part of my stay in Florence. When he arrived and we came to check him in, they said he should pay 100 euros per night to stay in my DOUBLE room.
After we complained, the guy on reception called „the boss“ and „negotiated“ the price down to „50 euros“ per night for him, so we paid 100 euro for him extra which is outraging as my room was already not a single room, so no pricy upgrade of the room type was necessary. Moreover, their double room price on booking.com stays the same no matter if you book it for two people or for one person.
We were ready to pay extra 20-25 euros per night plus the city tax of course. Yet the fact they planned to charge us 200 euros extra for the second person to join me in the double room is ridiculous.

Shower is very weak, water takes long time to heat and is very unstable
No sound isolation. You hear everything that happens in the neighboring rooms and in the corridor
Sketchy, loud street and we did not feel very safe coming home at night
AC not working because „it is not the season yet“ so we had to decide every night if we wanted to open windows to let mosquitoes in or have no fresh air in the room at all, so they should remove AC from the amenities list

Très bon emplacement
Pros:

L'emplacement : l'hôtel est proche du centre ville et de la station de tram permettant de se rendre à l'aéroport.
Ma chambre avait une vue sur le Duomo, magnifique !

Cons:

Le fait de devoir payer la taxe de séjour en espèces, ce n'est précisé nulle part.
Je n'ai pas trouvé la chambre très propre, notamment la salle de bain.
La douche est très exiguë, il ne faut pas être en surpoids !

Quiet, covered basic needs and was available in a convenient location. Overpriced.
Pros:

Staff was very nice. Bedding was fine and clean. Bathroom was clean. It was soundproof. Bathroom had a nightlight and a fan.

Cons:

The desk chair in the room was stained. Shower was very small and water would bounce between freezing cold and scalding. Was told the air conditioning was not always available.

Bon rapport qualité/ prix. Nous pouvons recommander cet hôtel sans problème.
Pros:

Nous avons apprécié la propreté, le confort du lit, la modernité de la douche, le petit balcon et sa vue. Et le calme lorsque personne ne parle dans le couloir.

Cons:

Il manque un plan horizontal pour déposer des effets et un porte manteau dans la salle de bain.
La chambre est mal insonorisée par rapport au couloir ( pas vis à vis de l'extérieur).
Une bouilloire dans la chambre serait nécessaire !
