“This is Your hotel :)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

I stayed 3 nights week 2-2012 during Pitty Uomo. Very close to fashionfair and near everything You need during a nice stay in Florence centrum, can be done by short walking. Cant be more central. Nice hotel, clean, cosy and also helpful staff. This is Your hotel!
I also managed to forget my mobilephone there when I left back home, and they did everything possible to send this asap by expresscourier. My special thanks to Eris and Giavanpaolo for very trustable help :) Thank You!!

“room was clean and of reasonable size”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

hotel was of walking distance to the train station. we bought the hotel thinking that there will be free wifi as stated on our receipt. however, upon arrival we found out that we have to pay if we wanted wifi. we didnt get it. the receptionist at the check in counter was very friendly. she can speaks if i remember correctly 5 languages. The room was spacious enough for 2 to stay comfortably. the bathroom was clean and of acceptable size too. breakfast which was included does not have a great variety. It is ok for us but we felt that it could be better as it is slightly more expensive than the one we paid for in Rome. do not expect a 5star hotel buffet breakfast.over all i would give them 'above average' for the italian standard.

“Funky smell in room, but otherwise GOOD”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

No heat in the rooms until 6 p.m.--they are being eco, so you cannot complain about a cooler room when you arrive. Our room smelled nasty, not quite sure what the smell was...but they need to do something about it. The location was excellent--10 minute walk to train station and about a 2 minute walk to the leather market. If you book on-line on the hotel website, you get free wifi. Not all that bad for 45 euro, albeit they REALLY need to do something about the funk smell in the room (ick!) Ask for a room not facing the main street--as there was a lot of traffic noise. Oh, and we could not manage to close the window shutters (they seemed to be stuck)...so, it was rather light in the room when we tried to fall asleep.

You say funky smell in the room and I would LOVE to do something about it.
We ahve done what we could have done: renovated all bathrooms and so all the pipes and drainages BUT I perfectly agree that some days (most likely when there is low pressure and as well when the weather is changing) the city stinks with its sewage system.
We have not understood why only some bathrooms smell and why it is not always the same room that has this problem.
What I know for sure is that this is a general problem of the city, but luckily only during some days.

Would not reccomend at all. No heat. Awful smell in room. Sink leaked in washroom when we asked to be fixed no one looked at it. No access to parking. Misleading photos on their websites.

The smell of the room is due to the changing of the weather.
We have renovated pipes and drainage system of all our new bathrooms BUT it is a problem that you'll find in Florence and that is connected with the city sewage system.

We do not have a parking, like 95% of the centrally loacted hotels of Florence. This is clearly written in our web page.
We collaborate with a garage. They do valet service for euro 24,00 per 24 hrs. Otherwise there is a parking place that is about 15 min walk from the hotel that costs euro 18,00 (you have to park yourself)

I'm sorry the sink was not repaired but it happend on a Saturady and the plumbman came on Monday.

“A nice room with a good breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Kursaal for 4 nights and found the room quite big compared to other rooms in europe which was great. They have Wifi for 3 euro an hr but we did have some issues connecting to it consistently so we just had to sit out in the lounge area and use our computer. The reception was helpful and showed us some good places.
It was very close to the station and we walked to and from. It was easy to walk to all our tours from the hotel. The breakfast was really good!!

The city charges you to stay within the city and the hotel asks you to pay 3 euro per person per day in cash to them. Would stay again
