The hotel is conveniently located just a few meters away from the railway station and Santa Maria Novella's church, making it a perfect spot for exploring the city. The rooms are basic, clean, and comfortable, but a bit tiny. The service provided, especially by the lovely Nadia, is incredibly helpful and heartfelt. However, the presence of mosquitoes outside prevents opening windows, which can be a downside. The dining options are good but might require an extra charge to enjoy meals at the sister hotel. Overall, a nice stay with a great location and friendly service.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with big windows that allowed fresh air in, although the street noise could be bothersome at times. While check-in was delayed as Nadia was assisting another family, the overall room size was quite generous.

The hotel is tucked away and small, with a bit of a dated look that could use some sprucing up, yet the value for the price paid was excellent. The remote control for the air conditioner might be a challenge to locate, but for 55 euros, the stay was truly worth it.

The rooms felt a bit outdated and in need of renovation. The WiFi signal didn't reach everywhere, but for the price, it was a worthy accommodation.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were basic but acceptable, and the rate was good enough, but my room was right in the stairwell, so it was very noisy at times. The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Nadia, who shared valuable insights and tips with us. However, the lack of valet parking was a bit inconvenient.
