Excelente localização e acomodação!
Pros:

Fiz uma viagem em família (7 pessoas) e reservamos 3 quartos. E tivemos uma grata surpresa com o hotel.
A localização é excepicional! 1quarteirão abaixo da Duomo e uns 2 quarteirões acima da Piazza Della Signoria/Palazzo Vecchio.
Fiquei em um confortável quarto triplo com bonita decoração e banheiro que parece que foi reformado.
Café da manhã era gostoso, com opções de frios, pães, ovo, salsichas, cafés/leites. Havia um stand de croissants com a quantidade de 1 por pessoa.
Funcionários são bastante simpáticos e solicitos
Se voltar a Florença, sem dúvidas irei me hospedar mais uma vez lá!

Cons:

Achei que a vazão da água do chuveiro um pouco fraca, mas nada que comprometesse a qualidade do banho
O frigobar poderia ser um pouco maior. Não cabia uma garrafa de 1L de água

Pros:

L'albergo è vicinissimo al Duomo e di conseguenza al centro storico e a tutti i musei principali.

Cons:

Il bagno era abbastanza spartano, la doccia era sprovvista di box, solamente con una tenda quindi abbastanza scomodo. Mancava inoltre il bidet che a mio avviso è una cosa fondamentale per un bagno.

Excellent location and value.
Pros:

You cannot beat the location. Just steps away from the Duomo and the main shopping street. The staff were very friendly, very helpful and they had a good breakfast included. Other than a small bathroom every thing was great.

Cons:

Small bathroom.

Pros:

⭐ 1/10 – Worst experience ever – avoid this place!

We stayed one night at this hotel during a heatwave with temperatures over 40°C. In the afternoon, the electricity went out for several hours – no lights, no air conditioning, no way to charge our phones. It was extremely uncomfortable and unsafe.

When we asked the receptionist about a refund in case power didn’t come back by the evening, he rudely told us they had “no money to give back” and we’d have to wait for the owner. When the owner finally arrived (after more than 30 minutes), she was even worse – shouting at guests, refusing to take responsibility, and speaking to us in a completely unprofessional and arrogant manner. She even handed us the phone to speak to a stranger (apparently someone from our country?) in what felt like an attempt to pressure or intimidate us.

We were not the only ones complaining – the reception was full of upset guests asking for refunds or help. The owner shouted at everyone and offered no solutions.

This place does not care about its guests, does not provide the services it promises, and completely lacks hospitality. No refund, no apology, no professionalism. Avoid at all costs – I would never stay here again and will be reporting this experience.
