Awesome hotel for Florence
Pros:

Location is great, just a short walk from the train station and all the top sights. Rooftop bar is awesome!

Cons:

A little noisy from outside traffic/people. I could also hear everything from the room next door. Just an FYI, the single rooms are tiny! Fine for me but keep that in mind.

Great place to stay at.
Pros:

The view was great. The location was also great. Their roof top is definitely worth it. The staff was very friendly and quick to help. The room was clean, but a bit smaller than Im used to.

Pros:

Bon accueil du personnel à notre arrivée, l'emplacement hyper centre, le serieux du personnel à l'accueil et au petit déjeuner. Petit déjeuner copieux .

Cons:

la dimension de la salle de bains, douche trop petite. Le personnel du bar rooftop manque de professionnalisme, 20 minutes pour prendre une commande, trop long, nous sommes partis en ville boire l'apéritif .

Great location for visiting Florence! Don't forget to check out the rooftop!
Pros:

I like the location and the access to the rooftop, which gives a nice view of Florence. The bed is comfortable, and their toiletries smell great, too. Breakfast was ok. The hotel is close to the train station and all the sights.

Cons:

The lift is too small and too slow, but this is normal in Italy, I guess.
