This hotel is in a good location and was highly recommended but my husband and I and our friends were totally turned off by the property and the staff as well.
First, there is a "sewage" smell lingering in parts of the hotel. When you get off the elevator to the first floor or third floor or walking down the stairs, you could smell something.
Second, rooms were big, not typical for Europe. Bathroom was clean as well. However, there was a "moldy" smell in the room, just like an old dark basement that seemed to have not been aired out for a year.
Third, we had the "DO NOT DISTURB" light on and the door hanger sign as well. Unfortunately, housekeeping still came in, cleaned up and rearranged our things. The worse part, they threw some of our personal things that they shouldn't have touched!
Fourth, as tourists to Florence, you would expect that the front desk people will be more welcoming and communicating all important information (i.e breakfast time, breakfast place, maps of Florence, restaurants, etc). None were offered!
I could enumerate more things but I think I've covered the most important items.
Room Tip: Do not stay in this hotel. There are other choices for accommodations!
