The hotel had a convenient location near the train station and close to the metro entrance, with good restaurants nearby. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the dining options were limited. The housekeeping service was efficient, and paid airport shuttle was available. Overall, a decent value for the price.

This hotel is in a prime location, just in front of the Medici chapel and very close to the Main Railway Station. The rooms are spacious with very comfortable beds, equipped with central AC. The service offers housekeeping and tours/ticket assistance. However, the dining, although including fresh seafood, could be more varied. The facilities are well-kept, offering all guests can ask for.
