6/10 Okay

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was nice, especially the girl who served in the breakfast room. She was very friendly with a big smile on her face that made us feel very welcome. The bathroom has a high step up from the room, and the floor is tiled. My husband slipped twice when the floor and his feet were wet, so be careful. The WiFi wasn't working at times. The location is very convenient if you are traveling by train, but the neighborhood doesn't feel clean and safe. Overall, it's just okay if you have a limited budget and are traveling mostly by train. However, next time I would rather spend more to stay at a bigger hotel.

Close to the train terminal (walkable) this hotel is older but very nice. The staff was great and there were quite a few places to eat close by. Breakfast buffet was good. The old fashioned elevator was a plus!

Very small one room space, narrow bathroom. Considering how busy the area is it was ok for one night stay for a family of five. Staff was kind to keep our luggage when we arrived about 2 hours earlier than the check in time. Breakfast fast was good, nothing fancy though.

Hotel Desiree has a great location to view Florence's historical sites. There are a lot of great restaurants within walking distance. The room was comfortable and has air conditioning. The best thing is the very accommodating staff. They were super friendly and always willing to assist in every request. The breakfast every morning was a plus!
