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.
