Hotel moderno, confortável, excelente atendimento e uma vista deslumbrante de Florença! ❤️
Pros:

Tivemos uma estadia maravilhosa no The Social Hub Florence Lavagnini! O hotel é moderno, lindo, confortável e tem um ambiente jovem e descontraído. A limpeza foi impecável e o atendimento, excelente. Embora o quarto adaptado para pessoas com deficiência já estivesse ocupado, disponibilizaram-nos outro quarto que atendeu perfeitamente às nossas necessidades.
A localização é muito conveniente, com a paragem do tram mesmo em frente, facilitando o acesso ao centro de Florença, onde conseguimos explorar muita coisa a pé.
O rooftop é simplesmente fantástico, com uma vista incrível sobre Florença, perfeito para apreciar a cidade enquanto se toma um drink! O restaurante tem boas opções, embora os preços sejam um pouco elevados. Já o pequeno-almoço, que não estava incluído, valeu muito a pena na cafeteria do próprio hotel, com opções saborosas e a preços acessíveis.
Foi uma escolha de última hora e custou mais do que tínhamos planejado, mas valeu cada euro! Recomendamos muito.

Cons:

Gostei de absolutamente de tudo!

A Ok with room for improvement. Not all of your guests are going to be young students.
Pros:

I like that they are very conscious about how much water is used in showers, etc. However, I found the shower floor to be extremely slippery. I did not fall but I can understand how someone could and that could also end up in a lawsuit. I did mention this to management and was told they follow the guidelines provided to them. When I was at the Radisson Blu in Manchester, they had a shower mat rolled up and held by a rubber band to use in the shower. I think this would be a very small investment on behalf of this property to insure there are no slip and falls in the shower.

Cons:

My fridge didn't work. I was "upgraded" a room and that fridge didn't work either. Who signs off on these rooms before making them available? My bedside lamp also did not work. The prongs were bent and couldn't fit into the holes.
