Comodo e moderno hub a Firenze
Pros:

Davvero moderna e accogliente, ottime le zone comuni e la palestra, camera senza nessun problema

Cons:

Unico piccolissimo neo, in un paio di casi gli eventi privati rendevano inaccessibili delle zone

Very enjoyable stay
Pros:

At first I was upset because the room does look like a college dorm room and I expected it to be noisy. The room and bed were comfortable and noise was never an issue. Sheets changed every couple days and our towels were exchanged regularly. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cappuccino from the cafe was excellent. We were 15-25 minutes from restaurants, attractions, shopping. I’m glad we stayed and I would return.

We’d like to express sincere gratitude to Lara who checked us in and provided a pleasant experience after our long journ
Pros:

The design of the property was exceptional - quirky, clean and fun. The pool has a fantastic view and the entrance of the lobby has swings that was fun to use when leaving and returning to the hotel. The coworking space looked very functional. Very helpful staff.

Cons:

The hallways to reach the bedrooms were clean but use of air freshener would be great.

Schönes Hotel mit gutem Service und eher dekorativem Pool
Pros:

Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, freundliches Personal und insgesamt sehr gute Organisation. Frühstück lecker!

Cons:

Die Dachterrasse wirkt auf den Fotos etwas spektakulärer als in Wirklichkeit und gehört direkt zur Bar, sodass man einen Tisch zugewiesen bekommt. Der Pool ist eher dekorativ. Leider war der Bereich während unseres Aufenthalts wegen einer geschlossenen Gesellschaft nicht nutzbar – schade, da das ein Hauptgrund für die Buchung war.

Innovador hotel
Pros:

Todo en general: las instalaciones, los jardines, la terraza con la piscina que tiene una vistas increíbles, habitación espaciosa, camas muy cómodas, que el baño tenga ducha. El desayuno muy completo y variado.
El personal muy amable, siempre con una sonrisa y dispuesto a ayudar.
Los objetos de decoración de la habitación, así como las lámparas de la habitación muy chulos.

Cons:

Como sugerencia:
El suelo de la habitación que fuese más moderno, poner un suelo vinílico por ejemplo.
Una carta más variada para poder cenar en el bar de la piscina, aunque entiendo que sea más para tomar una copa.

Ideális kiinduló és találkozási pont Firenzében.
Pros:

Nagyon jó elhelyezkedés, diszkrét személyzet, jól szervezett és strukturált nyitott terek.

Cons:

A szobában kétszemélyes ágy volt (nagyon kényelmes), de teljesen belakta a teret. Cserébe az épület földszintjén rengeteg szabad tér van!
