Great hotel and super friendly and professional staff, throughout the days. The breakfast selections could use more variety. The VIP option of Expedia is effectively meaningless. That’s becoming a common feature of all “VIP” hotels on Expedia. But the hotel is great.

We loved this hotel! From the moment we walked into its gorgeous lobby and were greeted by their welcoming staff, we knew we had made an excellent choice! The room was large (by European standards) bedding comfy, very clean, very quiet and totally walkable to Ufuzzi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio Bridge, and all the shopping and delicious restaurants you could possibly hope for. We loved our three day stay and enjoyed the delicious breakfast every morning, and relaxing in the beautiful lobby with comfy chairs and bar service in the evening. Taxi cab services are right outside the door (we never waited longer than 4 minutes) Rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels and then down service in the evening. Can’t say enough about the helpful staff, who were so friendly and knowledgeable about great places nearby to eat!
