  • Hotel review by Igor

    Igor

    Disappointing

    Not worth the price you pay. Amazing location despite terrible mattress, pillow and no WiFi.

    Pros: Location was perfect and staff very helpful
    Cons: Uncomfortable bed (2 twins put together and mattress was terrible), wi-fi was not working properly and pillows were absolutely terrible as well

  • Hotel review by Anonymousz

    Anonymousz

    Good

    Good for bagbackers, only looking for a bed to sleep and dont mind feeling cold at night

    Pros: Excellent location, a few minutes' walk from Santa Lucia Novella train station and tourist buses although the cobblestone pavements are not wheelchair friendly. You will need sturdy luggages with big wheels. Best for bagpackers. No electric kettle in the room. Staff has kindly borrowed one upon request. No water bottles were provided. Huge room, high ceiling with old furniture
    Cons: The room was huge but poorly lit. The only reading night lights at head of the beds didnt help for proper visualisation after the sundown. French window next to the bed that admit lights during day time. It is impossible to sleep in during the day, esp after night travel. Some ongoing reno works. Single warm light in toilet. Impossible to see anything in the shower cubicle. Beds were without duvets and warmers were not working. It didnt state that there are rooms in mezzanine floors which need you to carry your luggages up and down the staircases from the nearest lift landing floor. The first hotel I came across that didnt provide duvets and we had to wear our thermal and jackets to beds!

    Great location, worth the money!

    Pros: Friendly helpful staff, allowed to check in early, easy to find, 5 mins from train station. Location right on the square, good WiFi. Great price for the location. Easy access to all the main tourist areas, shops & restaurants.
