The location is great, more central in Florence, and the staff very friendly, but the condition of our room was less than desirable.
The room, while big (2 floors), is dated. The staircase shakes a little bit and is slightly unnerving.
We had constant issues with mosquitos (and we did not even open the window). We were constantly getting bit and must've killed a dozen or more mosquitos during our 2 night stay. You can even see on the walls were past guests have killed mosquitos (blood splatters). This made sleeping and getting a good nights rest nearly impossible.
The bathroom, particularly the shower is terrible. And given where the showered head is positioned, water will get all over the floor. Unlike Asia which has a lot of wet bathrooms, which include a drain in the floor for water to drain, this hotel bathroom does not. So the water will just pool on the floor and you're either forced to just let the water sit there (which you can slip, or get wet feet while using the bathroom), or you have to dry the floor with your towel after every shower. We're not paying money to stay at a hotel to clean the bathroom floor for the hotel.
I would not recommend anyone stay here (at least our room) but either 1) pay more money for a nicer hotel, or 2) stay in a more modern/updated hotel.
