5.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a complete disaster. The room didn't even have a mini bar, so we couldn't keep our water cold, which was a huge disappointment especially since we needed to get some rest before an early morning flight. The standard double bed was uncomfortable and the whole experience was just disgusting. I will definitely never book a room there again.

The hotel is in a convenient location for accessing the airport early in the morning. The rooms were bare but clean. The service was efficient and friendly, allowing easy transportation into Florence. However, the location did not feel particularly safe, and the dining options were just average.
