Very pleasant hotel on a quiet street and close to all the major attractions. The breakfast area was excellent.

Room was small but clean and comfortable, All the concierges were extrodinarily helpful. NONSMOKING!!! Nice frescoes on common first floor. NearSan Lorenzo market and the de MEdici chapels -2 short blocks away from the center of town. Felt safe coming and going at night.

This was my second time in Florence and this time did not meet my memory nor my expectations. In regards to this hotel, it is nice inside, but is located near a "kind of rough" part of town. My wife did not like walking down some of the streets at night. On the other hand, you are near and within walking distance of the Academia and other main attractions. We walked to everything we desired to reach. Rooms are clean and the Cappuccinos are the "Best" I had on our whole trip! Please note that if you drive to Florence and are keeping your car, then the garage is going to cost about 16 euros or 21 euros if you have the Hotel's partner come and valet the car in their garage (which is what we did and they took care of the car without an issue). The cost for this was an unexpected surprise to us upon our arrival. Outside of that, it is a nice three star hotel with a good staff.

Unfortunately the property is old and had sewer gas leaking into the room 24/7. We had to keep lav door and closet door closed and buy air cleaner. I don't believe the room should have been rented as it was so very unpleasant. The staff was very pleasant though and kind to us during our stay.

Not knowing about the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised when we saw our room for the price. The staff was very friendly, and helpful in their recommedation for dinner and where to go in Florence. The hotel is centrally located, so all sites are within walking distance. A wonderful hotel, I recommend highly, and will be sure and stay their again on my next visit to Florence.

A charmless hotel. Surly, unhelpful reception staff. Common areas and room did not match photos. A poorly furnished room with scruffy paintwork and an old fashioned, inadequate bathroom with plumbing which did not work properly. Poor value for money. This property has more of a feel of a backpackers' hostel than a hotel. Having travelled extensively in Italy, this is one of the worst hotels I have stayed in.

A lovely little hotel. Charming interior, wish we could have stayed in summer for breakfast on the terrace. A little bit of a walk into centre but certainly not enough to put me off booking again. Will always stay here in future.

A gem in the middle of Florence. Perfect location and a walking distance from all the sights. Highly recommended!

we had a great stay in Florence in Oct 2006, the hotel was great value, lovely and clean and located approx 10 minute walk from the main places. The character of the hotel added to the Italian experience for me and my 3 children. If I had to think of something negative the only thing I can think of was that there was no coffee making facilities in room and our bathroom was small compared to the other rooms, but not really a problem.

This is a very nice hotel, with some quirks from a American traveler's point of view. First, there was no box of facial tissues in the room. This is something I have never seen in any hotel. Indeed, this was the only hotel that we stayed in during our trip to Italy where there were no facial tissues. To me this was petty. Second, and just a bit quirky, was that there was no shower curtain in the bathtub. Taking a shower and keeping the rest of the bathroom dry was difficult. In fairness, I have seen this in other European hotels, but it seems silly. Thos quirks aside, the hotel has charm, and it is located in a great part of the city, near to the University and the Academia Gallery (David), and a 10-minute walk from the Duomo. Of course, since Florence is so small, nothing is far from anything in the city.

We made our reservations based on the great reviews on this site. And we are pleased to report that we had a wonderful stay! The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Breakfast was generous and the other dining recommendations from the staff were fantastic. We wish we had spent more time in Florence and at Orto de'Medici. We will certainly stay here again on our next visit. Thank you!!!

Was in Florence for a little under one week on business. Was a great hotel in terms of value and quality, however was not the best for the business traveler (no internet, a little far from the train station). Nonetheless would stay again if in Florence for vacation.
