decent stay, nothing fancy
Pros:

A great location, close to the station and easy to access the city by foot.
Comfortable bed and warm shower. Large enough room which felt secure with a good door locking system.

Cons:

Can be a little confusing to find the location- because there are multiple names of hotels in 1 location, checking and understanding the different "hotels" on each level. Mix of a hostel and hotel.

We had a nice experience, I recommend it because of the location and lovely staff.
Pros:

The room was nice, the location is great. The staff is very friendly and helpful!

Cons:

The breakfast was below the average and nobody came to clean our room or at least to give us clean towels or more toilet paper. We were there for three nights.

Pros:

la habitación era amplia y con grandes ventanales a un patio interior, tranquila, limpia. Las camas eran muy comodas. El hotel se encuentra en la tercera planta de un gran edificio. En las demás plantas se gestionan otros alojamientos. Está a unos 10 minutos de la estación de tren de Florencia.
