Pros (+) This hotel had a wonderful location (you could see the Duomo from the entrance), friendly and informative staff, and while we did not try the breakfast (continental) it did look nice.
Cons (-) While I’m coming to the realization that many beds in Italy are quite hard, this one fit right in. The room was clean however and I would have no problem staying here again if I caught myself back in Florence.
