The hotel is centrally situated just a short walk from the Santa Maria Novella Train Station, making it convenient for short-stay travelers. The rooms are extremely small and dark, suitable for a couple with a child but have insufficient blankets for colder weather. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff willing to go above and beyond, especially considering the value for money. The location is nearly perfect, close to essential attractions in Florence. However, the dining experience was disappointing with low-quality breakfast options, and the facilities were lacking compared to other hotels.

The hotel's room was just big enough for a couple and an extra bed for a kid, but we couldn't lay the suitcases down due to the limited space. It was appropriate for a couple and an extra bed for a kid, but we found dead bugs smashed on the wall. The camp beds pushed together were just big enough.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the leather market, which I loved. The rooms were a bit cramped with just enough space for the pushed-together 'CAMP' beds I booked for my sister and me. The service was mostly helpful, although there were instances of staff leaving for short periods without notice. The dining options were quite basic, and I found the lack of variety disappointing. The best advantage of this hotel is definitely its proximity to the train station and sights.
