“The hotel's location suits travellers relying on train transport, a short walk from Santa Maria Novella station. I noted the mix of traditional architecture and updated comforts, which creates a distinctive impression. From what I gathered, on-site dining leans toward authentic Tuscan fare, served in distinctive 19th-century cellars, though parking might present an unexpected charge.”

Excellent Location and Service
train station large balcony breakfast selection
The hotel's proximity to the train station was very convenient. A short walk was all it took. The staff thoughtfully prepared breakfast bags for our early departure. The room had a large balcony and was well-appointed. I found it very helpful. The breakfast offered a good selection.
The paper cups provided in the room were of low quality. They leaked when used for hot coffee. I think this could easily be improved with better quality cups. It detracted from the overall experience.
Dining

The breakfast included both European and British options, ensuring a variety of choices for different preferences. There were many coffee and pastry shops nearby for convenient access to refreshments. It was great to find options so easily.

I appreciated how clean and well maintained everything was. Free coffee and tea was available, always a plus. The provided breakfast included fruits, cereals, and also bacon with eggs. Simona at breakfast was nice and helpful to all guests.
