Great 4.0
The hotel is generally good, with excellent cleanliness. It was comfortable enough for a three-night stay. The room has a kettle and water glasses. The bathroom amenities are similar to those found in typical European hotels, with the same bottle used for shampoo and body wash. The most commendable thing is the showerhead's super strong water pressure, which is very effective, and the hot water doesn't require any waiting! The hotel is a convenient 5-10 minute walk from the central station. Be careful when going in and out of the station area at night. You need a key card to enter and exit the hotel at night, so the security is also okay!

This isn't your typical European accommodation, but a hotel with a very hip vibe. At first, I thought the location was ambiguous, but you can take the tram from Florence Station to right in front of the hotel, and especially, bus number 12 goes directly to Piazzale Michelangelo! As for the Duomo or Ponte Vecchio, you can cover Florence's tourist attractions on foot anyway. Other than that, the facilities and services were all excellent! In particular, the rooftop view offers a view that makes the price worthwhile. I recommend it to young couples or honeymooners.

I had a very pleasant stay thanks to Julia-R, a female employee who was consistently helpful and smiling. The free parking at the hotel was also great, and the room condition was good, as was the breakfast.

Got ourselves a 7-day Global Pass and travelled through 5 countries. Buying the pass was easy but how to use the app for activating the pass will need some time to learn. However, fear not as there are many experienced people out willing to share. Do some readings and join some fb travel groups and you will surprised by the information available. The pass was flexible but the train schedule can be unpredictable which means you need to be updated requently to stay on course of your journey. We only experienced one hicccup on one of the trips at Berlin due to seat reservation issue and missing the connecting train due to delay of the first train. The other trips were as planned.

The Trenitalia Pass was simple to use and it’s suitable for first time tourist to use. However, it’s a little bit expensive, but for the convenience sake. Do note that you will need to plan your route and journey in advance so that you can reserve your seats.

An unforgettable Tuscany tour! The landscapes were breathtaking, the itinerary was perfectly paced, and every stop felt special. Huge thanks to our guide Constantino—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Tuscany. He made the experience even more memorable with great stories and thoughtful attention to the group. Highly recommended!
