Bob W Florence Santa Croce

Great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Our room was a little musty with a slight smell, being on the lower ground floor but we ventilated it by opening the window. Lovely hotel and in a good location, I would recommend for value for money.

Good location. Only a short walk to the Uffizi Gallery (10 mins). Piazzale Michelangelo (for the sunset view) is across the river, and you can take the town bus from the side street by the hotel (bus 13) to reach the viewing point. Generally, this boutique hotel is decently simple and modern, yet offers maximum comfort — exactly what we needed. High-quality bathroom toiletries. Good room amenities, free to self-replenish from the common area. Our room is very spacious, featuring an original arched ceiling and a big window facing the middle patio with green plants and garden chairs — it felt like we were living in someone's old home. It made our 4-night stay very pleasant, like a home away from home. Staff are friendly, and night manager Paul was especially helpful, giving us his best local tips on where to dine and enjoy Florence like a local. We are truly grateful, and it made our holiday very special.
