    Clean and pleasant place, has beautiful views over the Cathedral. The small room is compact and has central heating, a work desk, and television. The bathroom is newly renovated. The hotel offers marvellous and particularly good location to the important sites of Florence. You can relax at Finnegan's Irish Pub, located nearby.

    Great location near to all main city attractions, nice equipment of the hotel and the room, cleanliness.

    The breakfast has been very poor. In all other prospects the hotel can be considered as good value for money.
