    “Exceptional”

    The location is great, just a 5-minute walk from the train station. The front desk and staff are very warm and attentive; the lady who checked us in was able to accurately pronounce my Chinese name, which was impressive, and she was very enthusiastic as well. The room is large, not too cluttered, and has a sense of history, but the walls are quite thin, making sounds from the next bathroom and conversations quite noticeable. The rooftop is wonderful, and it's nice to sit there.

    “A place close to the train station and not far from the Duomo.”

    The location is not far from the Florence Central Train Station, and there is a Conad supermarket nearby. The hotel has recently undergone renovation; the elevator is quite spacious compared to the old convent buildings. The furniture, including antique wardrobes, gives it a charming atmosphere, possibly because it was originally an old palace. Overall, it is clean and good. The rooftop has a bar and a beautiful view of the Duomo, which is really stunning. The breakfast is also good, with a decent variety, not too shabby. Overall, considering the promotional price at which I booked, it is worth the cost. I recommend it.

    “It's very close to the station and has the best value for money.”

    It seems that it varies a bit from room to room, but the room we stayed in sometimes had a smell similar to sewage around the bathroom. However, if you mention it to the front desk, they do try to do something about it. Other than that, I think it's the best value for money. The staff are friendly, and the location is very close to the station, which is great.

    “A hotel in the optimum location for using the central station and central market.”

    This hotel is great for using trains and buses to get around during your trip, and it offers a very local experience. There is an elevator, and the view of the Duomo dome while enjoying a cocktail on the rooftop in the evening is fantastic. The central market is just 2-3 minutes away, which is enough to feel the Florence vibe. However, please keep in mind that the shower facilities are very small and may be inconvenient. It's part of the country's culture, but I hope they can remove the bidet and make the shower booth larger if it's not being used.^^;;; Otherwise, everything was great. Just please improve the shower booth a bit~ haha
