The hotel is located near the train station(S.M.N) and around 30mins walk away from major places of interest such as the Uffizi.
Staff members were super nice as well! For me personally, the only downside was the internet being a bit slow, but it's not really a big deal.

The staff here are incredibly friendly and the location is not too far from the main part of the city. The mattress was really soft which left me in a bit of pain but my back can be picky.

We had a nice stay at this property. Breakfast was excellent, and our room was spacious for two adults and two grown kids. While the room was clean and tidy, it was a bit dated and required some renovation. The location was two tram stops from the SMN train station (about 1.70 Euro/ticket). There were a few restaurants and a laundry place within walking distance. The property has parking on site (20 Euro/night), yet there is also a free overnight public parking lot outside of the property (free 8pm-8am, 2 Euro/hr thereafter).

There was work being done outside my room door so, no naps during the daytime, the only thing close by really is a train and bus station. Shopping and food were a walking distance. I didn't care for the location.

Off site for sightseeing. Always need to walk over heavy traffic intersections for dining, shopping, and sightseeing.
