Property centrally located, park/city view, walking distance to important sights. Friendly welcoming. Totally ultra modern remodeling, floors, lightning, paint, bathroom fixtures (Atomic bidet! )

The property is hidden away in the streets of Florence. Not too far from the train station but about a 15 min walk to Florence centre. Staff, in particular Raphaella, were amazing, so friendly and helpful with giving recommendations and travel advice. The room was perfect, spotless clean and modern interior, it was our anniversary so they prepared a small surprise in the room with some Prosecco. It was a lovely stay and I would definitely come back!

The hosts were wonderful and the rooms were pristine. The room view was also amazing. This is a new property so still some adjustments to be made. Front desk is available until 9:00 pm. Somehow didn’t feel like a hotel.. more like a boarding. I was assured that the surroundings were safe but some guys hung around all day on the park benches opposite the building and were pretty loud, well into the evening. Good for a short term stay.

We had a great stay at the Essence Hotel. It is in a quieter part of town but still close to everything. The room we stayed in was clean and modern. Most major attractions in Florence were within easy walking distance. We'd be happy to stay here again next time when we come back to visit Tuscany.

Sin duda regresaría a este hotel, muy buena ubicación, habitaciones nuevas, zona tranquila, te dan tarjeta y código para ingresar a cualquier hora, la recepción está limitada a ciertos horarios. En general experiencia buena se los recomiendo. Huésped mexicano.
