“Overall a fantastic experience!! We stayed one night and it was perfect for all our needs! Price point was amazing as was the fact that they had room for our family of 5. Hard to come by in Europe. Shower was wonky with only hot or cold coming through so it was a challenge & a longer shower not super pleasant. Not a biggie for us as we only had one night. But the location was stellar for us as we were headed to Rome by train the next day & the station is less than a 5 min walk. We dropped our rental car off at the airport, took the tram to the station & walked 3 mins to the hotel. Also service was excellent as well the morning breakfast. Great coffee and pastries. I didn’t think there would be much breakfast offerings but we were all pleasantly surprised & made our teens very happy.”

“We were fascinated with Eneida! We felt not coming into a hotel, but coming home. Then her beautiful and delicious breakfast buffet. So fresh and with so many variations. The location is the perfect one, steps away from the train station and minutes away from the main landmarks. So we saved a lot of taxi money.”

“It is very conveniently located near the Santa Maria Novella train station. The hotel is maintained clean and well stocked with essentials. Eva at the front desk is very nice and able to provide recommendations around the place. The air condition is not great. The water in the shower is great, and the towel warmer comes in handy. The elevator is small and can accommodate 2 large suitcases. The area feels safe with a lot of shops and restaurants in walking distance.Tram station is just steps away, too. This is within walking distance to almost all attractions.”

“Great place. Really clean, very comfortable and nice breakfast. The showers were really nice which was much appreciated after we ran the Florence 10km. The guy at reception was super friendly and accommodating would recommend!!”

“We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. A special shoutout to the receptionist—she was incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Her friendly attitude and helpfulness really set the tone for a pleasant stay. Would definitely come back!”

“The room I stayed in was a good size, clean, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was private, but located down the hall. Once we figured out how to open the window, it was not as stuffy, so ask for help with this! The breakfast was incredible. So much selection and so fresh. I could not believe how much there was to choose from for such a small hotel. Great location too!”
