Very classy hotel and very clean. Wonderful staff. Room was a good size and facing the river. Windows were soundproof. Highly recommend. Only downside was the WiFi, it had a very weak signal.

Property was clean and staff were very friendly. Location was perfect for us, within walking distance from all our activities. It was a heat wave scorching the city during our stay; we particularly liked that the air conditioning was working well and housekeeping was not modifying our settings during the day so we always had a nice cool room to use and escape the heat. Breakfast was also amazing, we enjoyed our morning coffees and delicious food. Our room was small but we felt comfortable enough during our stay. We would definitely use it again in the future.

The hotel room was clean and orderly. Breakfast was nice, everything offered was fresh yet basic. The hotel is 5 minutes away from Ponte Vecchio. Everything was great, though they don't have many dinner choices. We would use the hotel again.
