Negative Reviews
negative:
Dull Decor
Many guests were disappointed with the hotel look and décor, saying it was simple, bland and did not create a holiday atmosphere. However, the hotel is in general quite clean and well kept.
negative:
Local Area Lacking
There are not much activities in the area close to the hotel, as it is a bit outside the city centre, in a business-filled neighbourhood. Because of that, guests also ran into problems locating the hotel, as it does not stand out from the surroundings. However, the hotel does have good public transportation connexions to the Florence city centre and guests found it easy to use.
negative:
Poor A/C
While the rooms do have air conditioning, guests say it doesn't always work well. Several guests have complained about their rooms being too hot and that they were unable to change the room temperature.
