I chose this hotel because it was very close to the train station.. it is, no dragging bags thru the town to get to our hotel.
The staff was excellent and very helpful.
The room was good, roomy and came with a (large) double balcony. The view of Florence on our balcony was excellent.
The A/C worked well, the outside temperatures approached 90 deg F (32 deg C)
Even though of almost no use to a tourist, the Tram station is actually closer than the "main" train station.
(not a reflection on this hotel, but worth noting):
Be aware, Florence has changed over the years, theft and pickpocketing are more common and law enforcement presence is rare. As a tourist we carry little or nothing of significant value, our luggage is old and NOT designer.. We were not a victim of any crime. Yet we know 2 other sets of tourists that had luggage stolen, and / or were pic pocketed.
