Delightful hotel in great location
Pros:

This hotel is a delight. The rooms are spacious and modern (including bathrooms), the staff are friendly and helpful, and the location is great. It's right by the Fortezza de Basso park, a pleasant 10 minute walk to the Mercato Centrale, 20 minutes to the Piazza del Duomo, and just 2 minutes from the T2 tram. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Overall comfortable and recommended
Pros:

Traveled from Santa Maria Novella station to hotel via tram (just a couple of stops away) for a reasonable euro or two.
very close to the tram stop. Early arrival and room was immediately available which was a relief for us. Rooms were clean well appointed and comfortable. State of the art room occupancy indicator outside the room eliminated staff interruptions while resting (this should be employed by every hotel). Largest shower in Italy for us and backdrop was appropriate and amusing. The room was in my wifes words small and tight. For the limited time we stayed there was not an issue for me.

Cons:

Room size could be larger

Lovely little hotel
Pros:

Although this hotel is a 10 to 15 min walk to the Duomo area it was very nice little property. I think we normally like a hotel with a bar for a drink before or after dinner however it was quite far from the main areas so probably wouldn't have used it with hindsight as we then would have had a longish walk. The room was light bright and had a terrace which was unexpected and lovely ( room 118) A mirror by the dressing table would have been nice. Otherwise If you dont mind a stroll from a more authentic neighbourhood to the busy parts then I would recommend this lovely little place to stay.
