Choose between private bathrooms with showers or shared bathroom options. All rooms feature desks, telephones, and complimentary toiletries.

Central Florence Location

The hotel stands 200 meters from Santa Maria Novella train station and 10 km from Peretola Airport. You're steps from Church of Santa Maria Maggiore and Casa Martelli Museum. The Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery, Academy, and Fortezza da Basso are all within a 5-minute walk.

24-Hour Front Desk

Multilingual staff at the 24-hour front desk provide concierge services and museum ticket bookings. The building is accessible by stairs only. Check-in requires all guests, including children, to be present.

Practical Room Features

Rooms include heating, wardrobes, and safe deposit boxes. Private bathrooms have hairdryers. Single rooms contain 1 bed, while triple rooms accommodate 3 guests. The smoke-free property offers free WiFi throughout.

Easy Transportation Access

From Santa Maria Novella station: walk to Piazza dell'Unità Italiana, then take Via Panzani for 50 meters. Turn right at Via dei Banchi. By car: follow signs to Santa Maria Novella station from the highway exit. From Amerigo Vespucci Airport: take the shuttle bus to Santa Maria Novella station.

“What strikes me is the location, a short walk from both the train station and the Duomo, although be prepared for a climb since there is no elevator. Rooms are recently updated and well-maintained, and some even offer a glimpse of the Duomo itself. It's a solid base for exploring Florence, if you don't mind the stairs.”
