Liked: It was close to the train station, relatively comfortable, and the girl at the front desk was nice and helpful.

Disliked: It was simply not as special as we hoped it would be. Not really as cute or pretty or unique and I had expected.

Liked: Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. They were very flexible with the room. We were not exactly pleased with the room reserved for us, so they were very accommodating in giving us another room with more natural light and a wonderful view.

Disliked: There is nothing bad to say.

Liked: The hotel was very close to the train station. My room was very cute and colorful. The bathroom was painted in green giving the place a very modern and young appealing. The furniture was brand new. The room offered a minibar, television, computer inside the room, good wi-fi, and a lock. They even let me mini shampoos in the bathroom. There was a trustable lifter too.

Disliked: As a negative, I would mention that there was a gross amount of dust under my bed (I mean it, it gathered in rolls), the windows weren't too thick so the room was very clear and the most important thing: if you have trouble sleeping, don't go there. My bedroom was near the commom bathroom and the noise from the toilet flush and shower stream used to go all night long. There's another hotel that I've visited during my stay in Florence called Locanda dei Poeti, same price - sometimes cheaper - and it had much more facilities and comfort. This I would certainly recommend it.

Liked: Great location steps from train station and a few minutes walk from downtown. Huge room with a great street view. Great value.

Disliked: No wifi (free computer in the room as an alternative). To get to hotel, you have to walk up building stairs which are not well maintained.

Liked: This was so close to the train station AND had double-paned windows so I could sleep (though - room 3 in the main building on the main floor might be the most quiet room as it's not facing the street). There were computers with internet in the rooms AND satellite TV. I felt spoiled! Great value for the price.

Disliked: The only thing was that my bathroom was just across the hall and not in my room. But it was still a private bathroom, which was nice.
