In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable central location — Just 150 metres from Palazzo Vecchio, with the Duomo and Bargello Museum nearby, so you can see the sights on foot.
  • Quiet despite the centre — Guests repeatedly mention peaceful nights and a calm atmosphere, even though the hotel is in the historic core.
  • Breakfast worth waking up for — Fresh fruit, muesli, ham, and cheese — a spread that guests praise as gorgeous and fantastic.
  • Modern, spacious rooms — Newly furnished rooms with large dressing areas, terraces, and kitchenettes in some units, plus mini-bars and coffee facilities.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited breakfast variety — While the breakfast is praised, one guest found it limited, though adequate—so don't expect a huge buffet.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:30, so arrive accordingly or make arrangements in advance.
  • Paid public parking — Parking is available but not private—expect to pay for a spot in the city centre.
  • Price for a guest house — At £126 per night, it's a mid-range rate for the category, and some may find the facilities less extensive than a full hotel.
