"The hotel is conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from Florence's Santa Maria Novella train station. Just a short stroll of about ten meters away, there's a Chinese Chuan Chuan Xiang (skewer hotpot) restaurant where we enjoyed several decent meals. Within 50 to 100 meters, you'll find a Carrefour supermarket and the popular Zaza restaurant, which even past 9 PM still had a queue. The Duomo is also easily reachable, only a 6-7 minute walk away. The hotel's location is superbly convenient.
Our quad room was moderately sized, clean, and tidy. While the air conditioning wasn't particularly strong, we appreciated the two fans provided in the room for extra circulation. Luckily, Florence's weather wasn't overly hot during our stay, and the breeze at 9 AM was quite refreshing.
The breakfast room was small, and the selection was simple, though sufficient to start the day. Offerings included eggs, croissants, two types of fruit (apples and bananas), and a rotating selection of sweet breads. Beverages included coffee, tea, juice, and hot cocoa. There was also a toaster; we enjoyed toasting bread and pairing it with jam, butter, and cold cuts, which was quite tasty.
Check-in is available until 9 PM. For late arrivals, guests must inform the hotel in advance, as the front desk is unstaffed in the evenings. A key is then provided for access via a side door.
A unique feature is the hotel's elevator, which only serves up to the second floor. Guests staying on higher floors will need to carry their luggage up the stairs.
Overall, our stay was very comfortable."
