Friendly staff. Spacious room.
The room was incredibly hot. 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Called to complain. The only solution provided was a floor fan.
4.1
Posizione perfetta, vicino a Palazzo Pitti. Il giardino interno è un ‘oasi di quiete inaspettata e permette di rilassarsi a chi ha le stanze che affacciano sull’interno. La doccia era molto ampia e il bagno in generale tutto di recente ristrutturazione.
4.1
Top locatie, 5 min van het centrum. Skybar is vet, maar niet gegeten. Airco en douche uitstekend.
Het is binnen een beetje een doolhof. Geen ontbijt genomen door hoge prijs voor wat je kreeg.

Front desk staff were extremely helpful. Location of the hotel is excellent. Room is spacious. Beds were like sleeping on rocks. Pillows smelled bad like glue or chemicals. The restaurant was excellent. However, the beds should be replaced because I would not choose that hotel again because I couldn't sleep. We traveled for 2 weeks, and the beds were the worst by far of any hotel in which we stayed. Horrible really.

The room was beautiful and the hotel itself is an interesting adaptation of an old building and I really liked it. Facilities in the rooms were fantastic and it was all nice and clean. But just like people, they can be beautiful and yet very unfriendly.
The service and friendliness was extremely poor. I was prepared to let it go despite three members of staff being difficult and surly but when the receptionist decided to lecture me on check out that was the last straw. I can’t remember ever writing a bad review of a Hotel as I know how damaging it can be. But the truth is on this occasion I very disappointed at paying a reasonably high price and being made to feel very unwelcome.
4.1
Herzliches, hilfsbereites Personal und zentrale Lage. Tolle Ausstattung des Zimmers mit 2 Sofas, Sauna und Whirlpoolbadewanne sowie ein fabelhaftes Deckenfresko. Tolle Dachterrasse zum Frühstücken
Die Plastiktabletts beim Frühstück sind nicht sehr schön
4.1
La posizione è fantastica sei a 100 metri da Ponte Vecchio
una vista dalla terrazza superiore mozzafiato!
la colazione sulla terrazza nel periodo estivo deve essere una cosa stupenda
arrivarci è molto complicato,si deve passare da zone ZTL ,che poi ti vengono cancellate
parcheggi sono vicini ma costano 30€ al giorno
e anche vero che nel complesso la spesa non è eccessiva se sommi parcheggio + costo della camera
4.1
- location;
- panoramic view from the dining room;
- rich breakfast;
- quite room.
- hotel requires copy of credit card as a guarantee, this is the first time i meet the requirement like this, as a general rule, i do not like to share details like this, due to data privacy issues, no hotel required it before;
- in the rooms quite cold in the winter season, heating systems do not cope with the problem.

Frühstück war sehr gut

The room was spacious with a comfortable bed and large, modern, and well-lit bathroom. The shower had both a regular shower head and a rain-fall shower head with ample hot water and water pressure -- a delightful experience. The historic lobby with painted barrel ceiling was amazing. The rooftop restaurant for dinner was delicious and was able to accommodate us even at the last minute.
Our room entry was located on the ground floor in the breezeway outside of the main check-in area. We were initially concerned that it might be loud due to noise from the street but were pleasantly surprised that this wasn't the case. This was initially concern. In the end, I think some of this comes with the quirkiness of being located in a remodeled 16th century building.
The other weird thing is that the room actually had two entries - one up a staircase located inside of the room. When we arrived we found this second entrance to be unlocked.

The outdoor terraces were very beautiful! The serving staff for breakfast were super pleasant and friendly. The front desk people were very helpful.
The bathroom door was very poorly placed as it got in the way each time you tried open and close it.
4.1
Close to touristic area.
Must be fhe most expensive cheap hotel in Florence. I specifically requested a romantic room, and paid extra for it, as our visit was for a very, very special occasion which I had shared with staff via chat. However, they completely ignored my request and gave us an extra-large, dark, and dreary room. Some of the light switches didn't work, the toilet controls were faulty, the toilet paper was held in a public toilet-style dispenser, the curtains barely blocked any light, the laminate flooring was crooked and the shower was outdated. To top it off, the breakfast was well below even the most basic standards. For the price of €250 per night, I was expecting at least some level of luxury, but boy, was I wrong. Overall, the experience was incredibly disappointing.
4.1
Our room was close to the front desk and there was so much noise, talking, laughing,... starting at 6am! The vaulted ceiling in the lobby made all the noises echoed loudly and we could not sleep.
The staff was not very knowledgeable and we got different information depending who was at the front desk. We asked for a taxi a few times for our departure date and in the end it had not been ordered.
The noise from lobby. The room was much smaller than advertised.
4.1
We loved the location specially after the day tourists left the city.
Price. It was a little on the overpriced side of the equation.

Great location, comfortable room, and friendly and helpful staff. Great views of Florence from the rooftop restaurant.
4.1
The room was a bit of an adventure to get to, but that was part of the charm. It was a lovely big room overlooking a courtyard. The bed was comfortable and they had extra blankets in the cupboard. The bathroom was large with a nice shower. It was located close to everything. Had an amazing rooftop patio with a spectacular view.
I couldn't figure how to work the safe.
4.1

Location is perfect. The room was quite big. The breakfast was very tasty.
The room was a little bit cold. Wifi did not connect in the room, only in the lobby.

Everything at this hotel was very good, staff, service, cleanliness, buffet breakfast. The room/s were very good, and all worked as it should. Very happy with this hotel, would definitely come and stay again.
Can't think of anything....
