Beautiful location and views
This hotel is great, the piazza is wide and clean, and it's a very close walk to Florence's train station if you're arriving by train. You can easily roll all your large suitcases there and back from the station to the hotel. The views of the square from your room are great, and even if you don't have one the roof pool deck is classy and the views are amazing.

Best hotel in Florence and so walkable from every major location. No other transport needed. Bring a swimsuit! The scorching heat and extensive walking was counterbalanced with a beautiful pool to relax before dinner. Staff was excellent all around, but especially the breakfast crew which made every morning a pleasant experience.

Great hotel near the heart of Florence. A bit close to the train station thus some over flow of riffraff, but a great hotel that is easily walkable and central.
