    A delightful stay with minor hiccups

    Located right by the train station and a short walk to the Duomo, the friendly staff made our mornings brighter. Breakfast was a satisfying start, and daily maid service kept everything clean.

    outdated facilities
    poor lighting

    excellent location, close to train station, proximity to dining options

    The facilities could definitely use an upgrade!!! Dim bathroom lighting makes getting ready a hassle, while missing essentials like a full-length mirror and proper suitcase holders are disappointing!!! A little extra attention to cleanliness is warranted too!!!

    darkness
    inconvenience

    the room was like a dark cave, and let’s not forget the abysmal lighting. also, I had to carry my luggage up and down, like I was staying at a hostel! at this rate, a complimentary bottle of water or even a simple upgrade would have been appreciated, but I guess that’s too much to ask for at this so-called hotel.

    Staying next door was a delight. the proximity to restaurants and the train station made exploring easy. Our room was impeccably clean, and the breakfast selection was surprisingly good, featuring various pastries and fresh fruits.

    My stay at Hotel Universo, Wtb Hotels was delightful! The location in Piazza Santa Maria Novella was perfect, just a short walk from the train station and major sites. The staff were warm and provided excellent recommendations for nearby cafes and restaurants.

    Breakfast options could be better.

    The location is vibrant with nearby cafes and attractions. The staff were fabulous and super helpful! ! A mini fridge in the room was convenient too.

    fantastic location
    spacious room
    natural light
    low water pressure

    The location is fantastic, a short stroll to the train station and surrounded by vibrant restaurants. Our room was spacious with lovely natural light. If you're looking for activities, I recommend checking out Circolo Golf Ugolino nearby, perfect for family fun.

    My wife says that the water pressure in the shower could be better.

    It was just a reliable pick for a city break in Florence with extraordinarily good value for money. The cleaning staff was friendly and promptly resolved my concerns when I reported an issue with the shower. Try to ask for a room away from the street for a quieter night.

    Charming Stay with Stunning Views

    We enjoyed our time in the Superior Double Room with a gorgeous city view. Despite some street noise, the location was perfect for exploring. Breakfast offered a nice variety, although a few more hot options would enhance it. Definitely consider bringing earplugs for a more restful sleep!

    comfortable stay but lighting issues

    My room was quiet and sunny during the day, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. The bed was incredibly comfortable, allowing me to sleep soundly every night. The reception staff were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming environment. I also enjoyed the lovely city view from the top floor, enhancing my overall experience.

    The bathroom lighting could definitely be brighter.
