The breakfast was amazing. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and let us leave our luggage when we arrived early and after checkout the next day so we could explore the city.
The staff were very welcoming and provided helpful information. The location was superb and the rooms were a great blend of old and modern. Would definitely stay here again.
I enjoyed my stay very much; the location was great, close to trusty areas; charming old building with renovated rooms, my room was clean and the staff was friendly. Highly recommend it.
The room is very nice , clean & spacios. The elevator is too small, good for 2 persons only. If you have luggage, only 1 person. You still have to use stairs before you reach your room even you use the elevator. The breakfast is good. The staff are friendly.
Very nice hotel,cosy and quiet, in an historical building and close to all the attractionsJust one minute from Ponte Vecchio . There are plenty of options for parking and a great choice of restaurants. Plus the roof top restaurant is excellent

The first room we were given was quite depressing, so we moved to a more expensive suite, which was beautiful. The hotel is very clean, staff extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast is unusually good, with a wide variety of foods. The location is terrific - across the Arno from the biggest crowds but conveniently located.

We moved from a disappointing room to a very beautiful and well appointed suite.
Everything is spotlessly clean! Staff everywhere in the hotel are professional and friendly. Laura at the registration desk has been outstandingly helpful to us.
Great location for quick walk to all attractions and also very quiet for times of rest. The rooftop terrace is fantastic food and service for a special experience.
Hotel was very nice! Unusual setup like last Hotel in Rome, comfortable and staff very accommodating. The restaurant on the roof was delightful and the location very central to shops and eateries.
