The staff! The staff! The staff! Every single staff member was incredibly friendly. We felt welcome and well cared for. The property itself is charming with a gorgeous roof deck which was a beautiful place to have cocktails. This is one of the closest hotels to the train station, and the staff was wonderful about checking our bags on arrival, and at departure, so we could spend more time touring Florence. Thank you Bijou for an unforgettable visit to Florence!

We recently stayed at this property and, overall, the experience was just okay. For the premium price we paid, we expected a higher level of comfort, quality, or service. While there were no major issues, nothing particularly stood out to justify the top-dollar cost. It met the basics, but didn’t exceed expectations.

The area where the property is at is very dirty and there were a couple homeless around, but no one messes with you and it is also conveniently close to the train station. The stuff and the breakfast was really nice and good. The room itself was good clean and spacious. My only problem was the bathroom. It has a strong humidity smell and it was not taken care of as the rest of the room. The shower had a hole outside and the sink holder has water getting to the wood so is lifting.

Next to the train station so that’s a huge plus. Access to taxi is awesome. Could be cleaner for the price but staff was super accommodating so it made up for the other things that needed improvement.

Fräscht kändes nyrenoverat. Nära tågstationen och gångavstånd till Duomo. Bekväm säng, fin modern inredning och badrummet var i toppskikt. Bra storlek på duschen!
Enda nackdelen är att det var väldigt lyhört. Särkilt när gäster ringde på porttelefonen. Antar att det var för att de inte checkat in än och fått en nyckel.

Experiência a não repetir
Estadia bastante negativa. O quarto que foi disponibilizado tinha 3m x 3m e tinha um odor a esgoto terrível. Apesar de pedirmos para mudar de quarto, não havendo disponibilidade, a alternativa proposta foi um ambientador.
Pequeno almoço com fruta em mau estado e pão servido num dos dias não era fresco.
