Good proximity to the station and walkable to local eateries. Friendly and helpful front desk clerks. Mattress a bit firm and shower small. Continental breakfast was good and staff in breakfast room friendly and helpful!

6/10 Good

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!
