Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited parking — On-site parking is available but likely limited and may be costly, as is common in central Florence.
  • Cat7 rating lower than others — One category (cat7) scored 7.7, lower than the strong overall ratings, suggesting a specific area may be less impressive.
  • Price for the class — From £128 per night, the hotel sits in the mid-range for Florence, but guests may expect more for the price given the category.
  • Some rooms lack bathtubs — A few room types, such as the Superior Apartment and Suite, only have showers, which may be a drawback for those preferring a bath.
