Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room had a beautiful Asian-inspired design with a lovely painted ceiling and an attractive four-poster bed, although a bit impractical. The terrace was a nice touch. The service was good, offering housekeeping, laundry, and tours/ticket assistance. The location was perfect, right in the center of Florence, making it convenient to explore the city and close to restaurants. The dining experience featured home-made Majorcan products. However, some aspects could be improved like the practicality of the four-poster bed and the limited breakfast options.
Staying here was an interesting experience. The room had an exquisite Asian design with a stunning painted ceiling, but the four-poster bed was not the most practical choice. The service was quite satisfactory, offering housekeeping, laundry, and tours/ticket assistance. The hotel's location was right in the heart of Florence, making it convenient to explore. The dining experience, particularly with homemade pizza, was delightful. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Florence! The hotel is right in the heart of the city center, making it so convenient to explore all the amazing sights and enjoy the buzzing atmosphere. The rooms are beautifully designed with an Asian-inspired decor and a lovely terrace, though the four-poster bed was a bit impractical. The service was top-notch, from housekeeping to laundry and arranging tours, they were always ready to assist. However, the dining experience was lacking variety, but the tropical fruits were a nice touch. Overall, a great value for the incredible location and friendly staff.
