Consigli per migliorare
Pros:

Ottima posizione, staff accogliente e disponibile, camera pulitissima, vista dal terrazzo Ottima.

Cons:

Il terrazzo potrebbe essere tenuto meglio, di giorno è perennemente sotto al sole, basterebbe un ombrellone.

A perfect fit for travelers who don’t mind climbing a few flights of stairs to a lovely boutique hotel.
Pros:

The location was quiet and the room was lovely. Getting into the hotel was a little different - the hotel is on the third floor of a residential apartment building, so you enter like a local and then climb the main stairwell to the hotel front desk. This adds to the sense of being a temporary resident of the community, and not just another tourist. The room was lovely, and having access to an espresso machine in the morning was a nice addition. The rooftop terrace was cozy with a lovely view.

Pros:

Personnel agréable.
Localisation parfaite.
Petite terrasse très agréable pour voir la vue, manger et fumer.

Cons:

La chambre était très vétuste et la propreté laissait à désirer.

L'insonorisation était très mauvaise : nous entendions absolument tout. Il était même possible de suivre les conversations des occupants de la chambre voisine et d'entendre lorsqu'ils prenaient leur douche.

Enfin, la literie était très inconfortable. En deux nuits passées dans cet hôtel, nous avons très peu dormi à cause du matelas, qui était particulièrement inconfortable.

Pros:

Posizione eccellente nel centro di Firenze, bella terrazza panoramica

Cons:

La colazione è solo una tazza di thè o caffè con qualche biscotto.
Andrebbe forse segnalata meglio la presenza di barriere architettoniche

Pros:

Excellent location and friendly, responsive staff. Be prepared for the 3 story climb daily (porter was not available when we arrived to help with our luggage). Be sure not to get one of the two front rooms at the top of the staircase! You hear everyone coming in all hours of the night and conversations at the front desk. Coffee, juice, and snacks provided throughout the day were an unexpected surprise.

Nice location but less than 3 stars hotel experience
Pros:

The location was very near the duomo, and the Italian guy at the reception he was helpful and informative .
There is a small terrace area with an amazing view to the duomo, perfect for a little colder evening, but difficult very narrow stairs to it.

Cons:

1- wasn't aware that the hotel rooms are on the 3rd floor of a very old building without any elevators
2- the air-conditioning unit made a water accident that costed us to change the room and lose a sweater due to very big stain.
3- the toilet despite the renovation, it stinks of sewage smell.
4- the flush in the new room works 50% or less.
5- thin walls that makes you everything especially when there were noisy guests late in the evening and in the middle of the night
