david, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a wounderful hotel, located in a little bit calmer area of Florence. The breakfast was generous and the restaurant was nice and quiet. From the top floor you have an excellent view of the river. The staff is also very serviceminded and it feels more like a five star hotel in many aspects. We celebrated our honeymoon at the hotel 20 years ago and were delighted to come back this september.

Really nice and helpful staff! They upgraded our room and gave us a delicious bottle of wine. We stayed here when going to cinque terre for the day and they were very helpful with our itinerary.

Great hotel with very friendly staff

Great hotel in convenient location. Very friendly staff and tasty breakfast. Missed quality coffee but lots of places around to get my coffee hit. Paid parking by hotel is at the station which is not very convenient. We found paid on street parking close by. Just check if it is not time limited. We left car from 5pm till 10.30am for less than $10.
Rosmarie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here to visit cinque Terre as well as boat around the sea. The Poet is a quick walk to the train station and also close to some great restaurants and areas to walk/shop. Hotel is clean and staff were very kind. Rooms are climate controlled and wash refreshing to walk into a cool room at the end of the day. Loved the balcony from the room. Just know that breakfast isn’t included.

I booked this place last minute after a stressful experience elsewhere, and it exceeded all expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the room was spotless, and everything felt well cared for. Such a relief to find a place like this — I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and professional stay.
