    Fabulous

    Overall quite nice. The Roulette Room / Studio is a tremendous value -- though they ask for extra for more than two people, it could easily accomodate 4 or so. It's got a private bath, even a little kitchen. A steal. Great location for backpackers too, brief walk from the train station.

    They advertised and pre-sold wifi, but it was not available in the actual room, only in the check-in lobby. Minor annoyance for me, who knows for you.

    Fabulous

    we are a young couple from germany and we stayed at the an apartment which is a few meters away from the hotel building. However it was very nice and well decorated, clean with all sort of amenities. The location was also very nice. It was around 10 min walk from the main SMN station of florence. Also quite close to the city center which was our area of interest. The person at reception was very nice, speaks good english and is well aware of all the tourist sites. I recommend this hotel very much.... Its indeed a good value for money.

    Fabulous

    It was super cool, I get only one night but I really love to stay more, I get a studio and was amazing, it was bigger than I thougth, everything was clean and w get more than we expected.

    The ubication to get the studio was a little bit hard at the first time, but like the manager said: " it less complicated that it appears".

    Good

    Its location 20 minutes walk away from the center and 5 from central station,there are avalaible many shops to make any kind of shopping going on,studios are large enough, well furnished, kitchnette is equipped with oven and microwave.Fresh linens and towels are allowed every 3 days without supplement,closely you can enjoy any sort of restaurant,cafes,pubs, even untill late, to socialise...

    Full north like this, rooms are dark,shower tight and plastic curtain to grip you as glue while taking it one...i awoke after check out to be withdrawn twice on my bank account,i still expecting my money back, process is ongoing...

    We were booked appatraments Gemini, witch were situaded in other street.Apartments were large enough but moist and moldy. There was a strong smell of damp.

    Gentlemen, be careful! This hotel - a sell! When we came to check-out to the door of the main building was closed, all sealed and hung announcement that the hotel is closed for renovation! At the reception, and anywhere else there was not anyone! The keys had to be left at the door! And then the hotel has decided to charge my card extra 150 euros! This is simply outrageous! Господа, будьте осторожны! Этот отель - какое-то надувательство! Когда мы пришли то дверь главного здания оказалась закрытой, все опечатано и висело объявление, что отель закрыт на реконструкцию! На ресепшене и вообще нигде не было ни кого! Ключи пришлось оставить под дверью! И после этого отель еще решил снять с моей карточки лишние 150 евро! Это просто возмутительно!

    Superb

    5mins walk from Firenze SMN station.....On the main road....Its not a hotel, but an apartment converted into a hotel....We are a family of 04 adults plus one child and we booked the Executive Suite. The first look from outside as we were outside our room, we were wondering as if we have taken a right choice....like a proper proper apartment....But as we entered our Suite......it was really great, the room was huge with one Double bed and three single beds, it had proper kichenette with all the necessary cultleries, a microwave, gas, coffe maker....name it and you had it. Also a separate bedroom with attached bathroom, so we had a blast... as we cooked food by ourselves and we managed 03 meals on our own....Overall a great stay....It had 2 T.V, Music player, a Balcony, Dining Table....Good for families.

    Breakfast was very limited, but since i stayed one night i had no much issue. As i said, it is not a hotel, but an apartment converted into hotel...So you will not feel as u stayed in any hotel...It really doesnt matter as far as our room (executive suite) which we stayed was amazing.

    Fabulous

    Wow, the budget room which we were living was so nice so perfect with all the equipements and useful things for cooking and washing so on... We have no time for cooking if not we'll make a Pizza by ourselves~~~

    Nothing! I think it is amazing hotel unless it is not so easy to find this hotel and the budget room ,there are not in the hotel but walk a little bit ~~~

    Old furniture, bad breakfast, you have to pay for the Internet, angry at the reception desk staff. Really, this hotel is not three but its a 1 star. I do not advise to stay here.

    Location was decent, vis-a-vis the city and access to tourist stuff. A bit hard to find, initially, as there is limited signage from the road was I was travelling in a minivan with wife and 4 kids. GPS was able to get us pretty close, but you need to stop in a bus zone and get behind a steel gate and then go to the 2nd floor to find reception. Underground parking was available and stalls were almost able to accommodate a minivan. Booked 6 person room on top floor. Smaller hotel. Elevator was also small, but did the job. Reception was there and answered the questions that were asked. Breakfast was nice and handled by the receptionist. Our room was very large and spacious and had a full kitchen with a gas stove and full sized fridge.

    Hotel infrastructure is aging and could use a bit of a boost/refresh. Example - several of the blinds would not close. Difficult to shower properly as the water temperature changes rapidly and unpredictably.

    Very good

    Cheap, clean. Turned out to be an apartment with a kitchen which was a pleasant surprise.

    Our hotel room was in another building which was a little inconvenient. Paid for parking on the site but didn't need it, staff refused a refund. Staff also noted down my credit card number details on a separate sheet of paper which i wasn't so happy about. No wifi was available in our room.

    Exceptional

    1. A lot of space (2 rooms!!!!) and there are facilities for cooking and storing the food in the room (oven, refrigerator, plates, knives, forks and spoons, etc.). 2. Every day cleaning. 3. Quiet place (inside of the yard) 4. Very close location to the railway station (7 min. walking)

    - The room itself is located in another quarter and building than reception even though it is within 3 min. walk.

    Nothing. The entrance is behind gates in an alley. YOu have to walk two flights with your luggage to get to the lift. This is bey far the seediest place I have ever stayed even though the location is near the train station. It took a lot to just find it because you can't see an entrance. The only good thing I could say is that the sheets were clean.

    We were upgraded to an executive suite. It had two bedrooms and a kitchen. The bedroom was sectioned off from the kitchen by a hanging sheet. The kitchen had toaster, microwave, and sink, cups and dishes but no silverware. The bedspreads were quilted velvet from about 1960. The beds had no box spring under. In order to get into the bathroom the door hit the bed. This place was laughable and will go down in my memory as the very worst place I have ever stayed.
