Note, this is the only hotel I have stayed at in Italy. It is not a Hilton, Marriott, Double tree.... corporate type of hotel.
It has the charm of the Florence town center area. You are reminded of being in Florence when you walk through the door. Its decor is an Italian art vibe. The staff was very nice. The buffet breakfast each morning was perfect and went until 11am. It had pancakes, eggs, sliced meats, cereals, pastries, toast with all kinds of jams, coffee of all types (espresso, cappuccino, americano...), teas and juices. It was not overly stocked but not lacking anything either.
The room was clean. It was a little on the small side but again, you are in downtown Florence within walking distance to everything. The building is probably a few centuries old, as all flats and apartment buildings in the side streets of downtown Florence are. But this hotel is well maintained for an old building like this. It's has a charming Italy vibe. If I can take away one star for anything it would be noise. Like I said, it's my first in Italy, so I don't know if this is like this everywhere. But I felt the walls were very thin and we can all hear each other in neighboring rooms. I can hear the man's full conversation next door. I can hear the people walking on the streets outside. I think this is normal for Florence though. I had heard someone else talking about it at another location. At night, I just used a white noise maker app on my phone to sleep. It worked fine.
