NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa
The room I got was kind claustrophobic , clean. The breakfast I would recommend getting somewhere else, my coffee was cold, I order pancakes and never got delivered to me. I just went out to a restaurant and got a fresh warm cappuccino. Overall i won’t stay at the property or brand again.
