Quasi quasi ci torno
Pros:

La comodità estrema per la Festa dell’Unicorno di Vinci (vedevo letteralmente la navetta dalla finestra!) e per la stazione. Molto utile in giornate di caldo come quelle di luglio 2026! E lo staff era estremamente gentile.

Pros:

In camera era piacevolmente fresco, (fattore imprescindibile per un'estate bollente come questa!) Tutti gentili e disponibili a dare consigli sulla città. Estremamente comoda la posizione di fronte alla stazione, e molto silenzioso.

Cons:

Sarebbe bello trovare una scelta vegana nella colazione.

Great little hotel by the train station
Pros:

Good location, friendly staff, strong air con, comfortable bed, thick curtains, good shower. Quiet room. Location perfect for the train but still a short stroll to town. Great for access to Florence and Siena but back for a quiet meal in Empoli later.

Cons:

Nothing was bad. For the price I was perfectly happy. More sockets and international TV / Netflix would have improved the stay but really the hotel was fine and I would happily return.

Nice location, comfortable but a little pricy for a nice but small room.
Pros:

Nice and central

Cons:

The room was smaller than I’d hoped and only had a small window with a disappointing view. I was part of a large group travelling and seemed to pay a lot more than others for one of the smaller rooms.

Odličan hotel i odlični domaćini.
Pros:

Hotel je odličan. Osoblje fenomenalno. Domaća atmosfera. Lokacija vrhunska, odmah pokraj željezničkog kolodvora od kud se može svugdje. Pogotovo je super to jer nakon “napornog” izleta primjerice u Firencu, izađeš iz vlaka i doslovno si odmah u hotelu. Blizina hotela do centra Empolija je nešto malo više od 5 minuta hoda.

Sve u svemu odličan hotel, svaka preporuka.

Cons:

Nemam zamjerki.
