This place is one of the coolest locations in Europe, and right next to the train station and central shopping district. It’s a true luxury hotel in the classic European style. It’s delivers exactly what you expect and more when booking a hotel of this level.

This is an excellent hotel. I don’t understand why this is a 4 star hotel. It is better than most 5star hotels I have used. The room, restaurant, bar and staff were great. It is really convenient for all the attractions (most of which I could see from our window).

The location of this hotel is unbeatable, especially if you're traveling in/out by train since you can readily walk to the station. The property itself is fine and has definitely been upgraded more recently but it feels like a stretch to call the experience "superb" as is flagged in Expedia ratings logic.

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.
