The hotel is ideally located between the Duomo and Uffizi/Ponte Vecchio area, making it perfect for exploring the major sights. The rooms, though small and dated with some maintenance issues, offer a street view. The service, especially from Katrina, the receptionist, was exceptional. The dining experience provided a good variety of food options, including vegan choices. Despite some room and bathroom issues, the hotel's prime location and friendly service stand out.
