Lovely location, traditional hotel

Great location on Piazza Santa Maria Novella (and close to train station). Lovely hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Great breakfast. My large room had a view into piazza/church, which was lovely, but there was lots of loud noise and music from bars below which I didn’t enjoy. Marble-tiled bathroom was spacious, but shower over bath with flimsy shower curtain wasn’t pleasant.

This is a great little hotel. The staff was very nice and the breakfast was very good. The only thing I did not like was that the room which they showed in the picture was no the room that we received. The room in the photo when we reserved was completely different, inside and also the view of the room which in my opinion is unacceptable. I will not go to this hotel again for this simple reason.
