The hotel offers a nice size room with views of the Duomo, ideal for groups, but the coffee disappoints. The service is extremely helpful and accommodating. Despite a central location near major attractions, noise can be an issue. The dining options are basic, with some positive aspects and some room for improvement.

The hotel is ideally located near the midtown, an easy walk from the station, and minutes away from famous attractions like the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. The rooms are spacious but lack proper soundproofing, giving a noisy feel. The service is a mix of polite professionalism and unfriendly interactions. The dining options vary from excellent selections to disappointing experiences. The old Florentine Venturi Palace offers a comfortable stay, but outdated decor may detract from the overall ambiance.

The hotel is in a lovely spot, with cultural room decor and great breakfast variety. The noise from early morning doors slamming can be a bit bothersome. The location is superb for exploring major landmarks and museums, though some noise can be expected in peak morning hours. Dining offers a good selection, but lacks hot options. The service is generally helpful and within walking distance to key attractions. Value for money is fair considering the amenities provided.
