Bra, men inte perfekt!
Pros:

Fräscht, pool, trevlig personal

Cons:

Hissen var inte bra, verkade inte fungera ordentligt eller hoppade över våningar.

För få sunbeds vid takpoolen. Byt ut bord och stolar mot fler sunbeds

Best Experience in Florence
Pros:

The Social Hub in Florence was truly a great experience. From our welcome email and checking in early to a cozy bed at night and everything in between. We loved the roof top pool and bar. Such great views. The breakfast was wonderful. I’m glad we selected to have that included. And always great service. One of the staff members who runs the breakfast I believe set up watch parties for the final three games of the World Cup which included food and drinks.
It was an amazing experience. We can’t wait to go back!

Goed hotel.
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel, het zwembad en de rooftopbar. Propere kamers, mooie tuin.

Cons:

Het zwembad zou iets langer mogen open zijn, tot 18u is kort. Het ontbijt is elke dag hetzelfde, goed maar geen variatie. Voor het eten en drinken in de bar kan het misschien iets goedkoper, het eten wat meer gewoon.
