Located right next to the Duomo, amazing location with tons of attractions and shops nearby. Amazing large rooms and fantastic view of the Duomo from the windows. It is quiet and the perfect place for a hotel in Florence. The staff are all extremely helpful and even let us stay after our check out in the lounge for a couple hours while we waited for our train to arrive.
