8.8Verified guest“The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The hot water took a while to arrive, but the bathroom was otherwise clean and functional. The bed was comfortable, Wi-Fi was free, and it's good value for the price. Just a 1-minute walk to the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio, surrounded by shops and restaurants.”
