Very good”
Pros - Nice and polite staff - Air conditioning - Mini fridge - Luggage stand - Full length mirror - Elevator - Housekeeping comes daily - Free WiFi - Good location Cons - Hair and body soap as one. But only says hair on bottle - Room is old with old scents - Single is tiny but doable if alone - The safe is not bolted down - Old furniture - Mattress firm. But is indented by people sleeping on it - Room needs updated Bathroom door is busted at bottom. Paint job would help. - Room has old fashion key, lock is hard to open. Key is annoying to carry around - No iron or ironing board - No black out curtains. You’re up when the suns up - TV is smaller than a computer monitor - Drawer to desk doesn’t open - One light in center of room that is florescent - Breakfast was all carbs and some fruit (not a lot of choices) - Toilet backed up multiple times - No wash clothes - Hair, short and long on everything “You get what you pay for”

Dear Olivia, let me thank you for taking time to share your feedback. I respect your opinion but I do not agree with it. Just for clarification and information to the future guest that will read this review: You booked an economy room and we gave at you a standard room without any extra cost! I am more than sure here you get more than you pay! We are a standard three star hotel & we do not sell our hotel for something that is not. We work on improving our hotel on a daily basis! I take this opportunity to offer you our best regards. Albert
Disgusting/ filthy /unhygienic ”
The hotel was located well, however the room was smelly, disgusting old furniture, the bed linen was full of hairs (short and long). When we told the receptionist, we were told there’s no other rooms and the cleaner wasn’t there. The floors were equally dirty with hairs, we couldn’t take our shoes off, in the end we slept with our jackets on and used our clothes to keep warm overnight. If you have some standards of hygiene avoid this hotel.

Dear Zeliha, let me thank you for taking the time to share your feedback after your stay in our Hotel. I am glad you enjoyed the central location of our property. The heating system is central and it starts working from 05:00am -10:00am and then from 14:00pm to 01:00am! There is a law of Florence town about the central heating system that says the maximum daily service life of the heating systems is 12 hours to be distributed in different time slots throughout the day from 05:00 to 23:00. I am deeply sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations , and please accept our most sincere apologies! Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent near future occurrence. Best Regards, Albert

Close to Central Florence Train Statiin”
Hotel is very close to the central station and walking distance to all the tourist attractions. I got given a free tourist map by the hotel and managed to see all the sites. Great places to eat nearby as well. Breakfast in the morning was quite good. They were able to keep my luggage until check-in time. Only comment is-although the bathroom was neat the shower head had mould in the spouts where the water comes out from. The shower head needs to be changed. Also, note tourist/hotel tax is €4 per night.

The staff was very helpful . The place is very rundown . The room had hardly any daylight so the light had to be on all the time. The position of the hotel is good as is close to the hotel and all main places.

Good location, smelly room”
Short walk from the station (but a bit tricky with luggage), and short walk to the rest of the city. The hotel room was simple. There was a pretty bad smell coming from the bathroom, maybe drain issue. Toilet seat was broken and the shower screen was broken and taped with sticky tape. Very noisy hotel, could hear next room and everyone in the hallway.

Good location, but poor staff and bedbugs”
My friend and I checked in and didn't even receive a greeting from the man behind the desk. He ask for the city tax and gave us the key to our room. When we arrived in the room the first night we noticed a bug on the wall and didn't think much of it. Two nights later we both had 7-8 large red swollen bumps on our backs and faces. On the last night before we left we found a bedbug crawling at the bottom of the sheets. Also every time we left the hotel someone at the desk was yelling at someone checking in. The day we left the man that checked us in was yelling so loud we could hear it from the 2nd floor stairs. I would never stay here again or recommend it to anyone. Great city, extremely disappointing hotel.

More like budget hotel ”
10 min walk from central railway station. Standard breakfast. The heating system is always having an issue. The first night, we caught bed bug. Next morning, saw the blood stain (might be from another bed bugs which was unknowingly stepped by me during sleep). Complain to receptionist, he said he will investigate. (Expected that they will change room but none. :(. ) Stayed there 2 nights only. Will not recommend

Old and dirty hotel, wifi not working at all”
The hotel is old and lack of cleanliness. Located at Little India. Wifi was not working during our stay there for 2 days. Other than its strategic location, there's nothing good about this hotel to be mentioned.
