In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Rooftop pool with panoramic views — Guests consistently highlight the rooftop terrace and pool as a favourite spot, ideal for relaxing with a drink while overlooking Florence.
  • Central yet peaceful location — The hotel is in the historic centre, a 13-minute walk from Strozzi Palace, yet quiet enough to feel away from the crowds. Walking distances to the station and Duomo are manageable.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Pricey on-site dining — The bar and restaurant are considered overpriced by some guests, even if the food and views are worth it.
  • Mixed room and cleanliness scores — With a 7/10 rating for rooms and cleanliness, expectations should be moderate; some guests may find the accommodations dated.
  • Limited parking convenience — Parking is available but not directly at the hotel; a valet takes your car to a nearby facility, which may mean a short wait.

“Great hotel with good rooms, an excellent location, and a fair price for peak season. The small pool on the roof offers fantastic city views. The only drawback is that the bar and restaurant prices are a bit high, but I'd still return.”
