I found this hotel close enough to the station yet away from crowds. On arrival we were given excellent directions as to where and how to get to the best sights to see. Staff spoke English well, which was good as my Italian was poor. The street carries a bit of traffic buy noise levels in the rooms are good. Recommend!!

Florence is a big city and we got lost on the way in. We rang the Hotel and they give us great directions straight to the Hotel. The Hotel is very modern but not in the nicest of areas. There was perking, but cost 14 euruos a day! The breakfast was good but the usual cold buffet but there was plenty to eat. The Hotel is differnet, but in a very good way. Very modern, open and airy. The rooms were very big and came with a free to use safe . There was a mini bar which was priced the same as the bar. About 15 minutes away, around some very wide roads, was the main part of Florence. Would go back again if staying in Florence.

It was our first time in Florence and at this hotel. The hotel is within walking distance to museums, major attractions and the train station. The rooms are comfortable for two people to move around and very clean. A cordial, helpful front desk staff made our stay very pleasant. The breakfast which is included was good and offered variety. We could hear the trains pulling out of town/train station from behind the hotel but it wasn't loud enough to disturb us. I would stay at this hotel again.

This hotel seemed like it was once a very nice place but was really run down. It needed to be painted in all the common areas and our room as well. The elevator also didn't seem to work consistently and there was a railing going down the stairs near the internet area that was literally coming our of the wall. The breakfast that was included was nothing to talk about and there wasn't any way to find out how much things in the mini bar were. This could be a very nice place to stay but needs some TLC. PS. The train noise was a bit bothersome but not that bad!

This hotel is close to the train station and a five to ten minute walk to the the historic center. It is well kept and modern. Room were great. The staff was helpful and friendly. The only negative is that the food at the restaurant was just OK and not as good as surrounding restaurants. I would definitly go there again.

the problem is the noise as the double insulation of the windows is insufficient. if u choose the rooms at the back u have the noise from the train station which is quite busy all day long and only stops for a few hours after midnight. whilst if one choose a room at the front its even worse as lot of traffic passes tru this road 24/7. otherwise breakfast was good and service was very good throughout our visit.

Didnt get any meals (exceept breakfast which was mediocre) - there is supposed to be a functioning restaurant for evenings but all I got was a cup of coffee!All meals (except breakfast) were taken at various Trattorias in Florence & were excellent! This Hotel did not meet my expectations.

Good location at a reasonable price. Railway behind and busy road in front led too some noise, particularly if you wanted to sleep with an open window.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise after scouring trip advisor and other sites, we decided to stay close to the railway station and this hotel is highly recommend.The staff are really friendly, and the rooms were modern and quite roomy. We could hear trains at night but it was not too noisy. Would stay again.

A really lovely modern hotel - suprisingly high standard for three stars. Incredible value, excellent staff, internet access point, cool bar... what more could you ask for?. Love the Carp pool outside that doubles as a ceiling in the bar too!

I was warned that Venere customers get room 102 - that is what I got! The noisiest room in the world - it opens onto the bus route street. It was so noisy we could not hear ourselves speak. The basin did not have a plug!! Nowhere did the advert mention that the hotel was so out of the way. Well done to the friendliest and most helpful front desk ladies - you were very helpful.
