I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room felt more like a suite in an apartment, spacious, and very clean, offering stunning views of Via Cavour, Il Duomo, and the Campanile di Giotto. The service was top-notch, with the mornings in the adjoining restaurant being a highlight. The location was ideal, close to major attractions like the Duomo and the Accademia Museum. The dining experience was delightful, offering high-quality meals. Overall, a great value for the money.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, with easy access to major attractions and yet away from the crowded areas. The rooms are not only clean but also full of charm, providing a comfortable and attractive stay. The service was top-notch, the staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant experience. The dining options were delicious, offering a true taste of Italy. The facilities were excellent, making my stay even more enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms had everything I could wish for in a 3-star hotel, from air conditioning to a mini-bar. The Tuscan architecture combined with modern art gave the room a lovely ambiance. However, be sure to request a room away from the noisy street to avoid sleepless nights. On the bright side, I was lucky to stay on the top floor with an incredible view of the Duomo.
