Staying here was a good experience. It could be described as something between a bed-and-breakfast and a hotel. It is quite small with no restaurant or bar and relatively few rooms. Particularly good is the absolute central location - practically in the shadow of the Duomo. It is also very convenient to the train station.
I especially liked the friendly atmosphere. The staff were helpful and made the stay very pleasant. I also liked the independence of being able to come and go freely - rather like staying in an apartment - with no reception as such. The staff were not always there after breakfast but available by phone.
The room was quiet and comfortable - much more spacious than I had expected - with a well equipped private bathroom and plenty of wardrobe space. The decor was traditional and very charming.
Breakfast was continental-style and very plentiful - served on a tray and delivered to the room at a set time, according to your wishes).
I was very happy with this hotel and it was good value. I would definitely go back on my next trip to Florence.
