the breakfast room boasts really good food alongside its beauty.
The air conditioning in my room was not adjustable. It reverted to its original setting after a few minutes. i had to rely on the reception for any changes. also, the shower faucet needed repair as it was not securely in place.

The hotel location is magnificent it is next to the Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio. Breakfast takes place in an elegant and beautifully decorated room. The bed linen felt soft and high quality I slept very well. The staff were friendly and helpful offering prompt service at all times.
The minibar wasn't consistently restocked with water I had to ask a few times.
