In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Superb central location — Right behind Palazzo Vecchio and near Piazza San Firenze, it scores a perfect 10 for location from guests.

  • Historic character with modern comforts — The hotel retains ornate public rooms and classic furnishings, while rooms include air conditioning, soundproofing, and flat-screen TVs.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Some rooms may feel dated — While the public areas are ornate, certain rooms could benefit from updating, as one guest found the 'vibe' quiet but not exceptional.
  • Breakfast not always included — Guests often mention breakfast positively, but it may not be part of the room rate depending on the booking.
  • No on-site spa or pool — For a 5-star property, it lacks a spa and pool, focusing instead on massage services and a sun terrace.
