Nice Spacious Room But A Little Noisy at Night
Pros: Spacious room, it even has a couch/futon bed for a third person, which is not what we have asked for, but they decided to give us as an upgrade I guess so I appreciate that. Plenty electric sockets near the bed head and around room, convenient to charge up all the device at once. Location is close to the museum of San Marco by Angelico, and the Orphanage built by Brunelleschi, the galleria de academia which has Michelangelo 's David. just a fewinutes of walk. Even to other attractions are not too far, we walked to all of them.
Cons: The room we stayed, 112, is very noise at night with cars driving by on the slab paved loosely road next to the window, Via Santa Reparata. Every car drives by, you will feel like rolling thunder on your ear. It becomes less after mid night, but isn't completely disappeared. And it will come back in the morning after 4,5 when people starts to move around. After the first night, we thought it might be just a one time incident, so we decided to give it a chance. Then the following days our schedule are fairly packed, after we went back the hotel, usually it's 8, even 10, the hotel staff has long gone. And we are so tired that just want to lay down on the bed. Then in the morning, we were trying to make these appointments to the museums and locations which have been booked in advance, so we just get up and leave in a hurry, still no chance to talk to the staff, although they show up as early as 6 am. Kudos to these hardworking Italian people! So until the last day we finally had some time, then we realized that it's time to check out and leave for the next destination. Anyway this is how we stayed ina very noisy room for 6nights without talking /reporting to the hotel staff. One night, the room lost hot water, so no hot shower is available, and the hotel staff has already left for the day. So I left a note on the front desk.they saw the note and fixed it the second day.there seems no vent in the bathroom, so after shower the steam will accumulate in the room for a while before disappearing.
