Located in a charming part of Florence by the Arno River, this 2-star hotel offers a simple, traditional stay that puts guests within easy reach of the city’s famous attractions. Rooms are bright and equipped with flat-screen TVs and air conditioning to ensure comfort in an otherwise straightforward accommodation. Travelers appreciate the informal atmosphere, free Wi-Fi throughout, and the quiet street setting that makes for restful nights despite the central location.
The hotel doesn’t provide breakfast, parking, or extra amenities like a pool or gym, but compensates with its proximity to Florence’s cultural hubs such as the Uffizi Galleries and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Guests can quickly reach various nearby transportation points, making exploration convenient. Though the hotel is basic, its clean and tidy rooms and well-maintained common areas offer good value for overnight stays or short breaks.
Visitors should note that the hotel building is older and features small elevator and shower spaces, but these details often complement a city-center experience aimed at those spending most of their time discovering Florence rather than in the room. Nearby bakeries and cafes make up for the absence of an on-site restaurant, adding a touch of local flavor to the stay.

A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This hotel is perfect for a weekend stay. Central, 7 minutes from everything; the station, the Duomo, the Uffizi...the room was big, the pillows were super comfy and the windows were double glazed. You can leave your luggage safely before check in and after check in. The staff accommodated our check out an hour later, free of charge. There is no breakfast but there is a fantastic bakery just up the road. Great price/quality ratio for downtown Florence.”
“This is probably the world's smallest shower cabin, and the world's smallest elevator :) Despite the micro size of everything, this is a well organized and well kept hotel on a truly premium location. If you are spending only your sleep time in the room (which is advisable in Florence) it will be perfect.”
“The location is excellent because it is central, but in a street that is not too chaotic. The property has an agreement with a nearby breakfast bar. Too bad not being able to offer breakfast at your facility, but all in all the short stay was pleasant. The room was excellent, very comfortable bed and pillows. All very clean and tidy. Having to leave the hotel to have breakfast. The only flaw of the stay, but surmountable.”
