"The hotel's decor is quite new and the front desk staff are friendly. However, the building itself is a bit old. The soundproofing in the street-facing rooms is poor; it's very noisy, and you can easily hear passing vehicles. There's no screen on the window, and there were several mosquitoes in the room.
Furthermore, because my travel companion fell ill and needed surgery, I tried to cancel my reservation twice, five days before check-in, but the hotel refused both times. It felt a bit unaccommodating.
In terms of location, while it's not too far from the train station, it's not convenient to walk there if you have luggage. Florence's public transport system is quite bad, often experiencing traffic jams and delays. Also, the hotel is much further from the tram stop than the bus stop, so the location is just mediocre.
Regarding cleanliness, the room wasn't cleaned during my two-night stay, which was disappointing.
I hope this helps others."
