a pretty ok experience

great locationrooftop towerdated decortiny shower
the location was great. i was able to walk to many attractions without problems. the rooftop tower give amazing 360-degree views, a absolute unique and essential experience.
the room layout felt a little strange. the decor is quite dated, i think it could use a refresh. the shower in the bathroom is very tiny and the drain doesnt work right. water is pooling while showering.

the staff was helpful showing us places of interest! i found the breakfast selection generous each morning. the rooftop bar offered fine views and a nice experience. also the location was very convenient.
The building had some quirks. I had to catch a lift to the 3rd floor to then walk down stairs to get to my room on the second floor
Rooms

The room had high ceilings and a four-poster bed. a separate area with a sofa. It also had a super clean and quiet environment, which i appreciated after long days, though the mattress felt a bit lumpy.
Location

the location had easy access 24/7, and staff were always available! it was less than a 5 minute walk to piazza della signoria, though parking can be a challenge if you drive.
Dining

i enjoyed the pastry options at breakfast because they changed every day and were fresh. there was also a continental option available, though the eismaschine had issues one evening at the tower bar.

Mixed Experience at City Center Location

unique architecturemoldy air
The building's architecture provided a unique historical atmosphere.
The air conditioning emitted a moldy smell, and the bathroom door did not close properly. The recently remodeled space seemed poorly constructed, so I was disappointed.

I found the breakfast buffet offered many choices and high quality food. The rooftop terrace provided expansive city views and an intimate setting. My room was very clean and it featured vintage charm. I appreciated the location and historic building.
The lack of air conditioning was noticeable, particularly during the warmer parts of the day, and some areas felt a bit warm.
