The hype
Travelers love the 'cool' industrial vibe and the rooftop sunset, but often find the rooms a bit spartan for the price.

یہ بک کریں اگر You want a high-energy, design-forward base camp with a rooftop pool and don't mind sharing the elevator with study-abroad students.
لوگ اسے کیوں پسند کرتے ہیں
- The rooftop pool and bar offer some of the best Duomo views in the city
- Incredible coworking spaces make it a digital nomad's paradise
- Superb connectivity—tram stop right outside, 10-minute walk to Santa Maria Novella
فوری جائزہ: It’s essentially a luxury university campus where you can book a room for the night—vibrant and fun, but lacking the hushed privacy of a traditional hotel.
@_atifkkhan نے جائزہ دیا: I stayed here for a week and the energy is unmatched. My room was compact but super functional, and I spent every evening at the rooftop pool watching the sun dip behind the Duomo. It feels less like a hotel and more like a community. Highly recommend for the vibes alone.

Reality check
Noise is the number one complaint—either from the busy Viale Lavagnini traffic outside or the student parties/corridor chatter inside.
- You need a reliable coworking space and strong Wi-Fi
- You want a social atmosphere where it's easy to meet people
- You prioritize a pool with a view over total silence
صفائی اور مرمت
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable, though some long-stay student areas can feel a bit more 'lived in'.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling. Bathrooms are modern with walk-in showers and good grout maintenance.
- Maintenance: The building is relatively new/renovated, so peeling paint or broken fixtures are rare.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality—crisp and white, though not luxury thread count.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like coffee and industrial cleaner; rooms are neutral, though some hallway carpets can trap scents.

سوالات و جوابات اور پوشیدہ تجاویز
بکنگ سے پہلے آپ جو کچھ واقعی جاننا چاہتے ہیں
Is the pool open year-round?
No, the rooftop pool is seasonal, typically open from late May to early October. It is not heated.
Can I bring my dog?
No. The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, with exceptions only for recognized service animals.
Is there parking available?
There is no on-site parking garage. You will need to use nearby public paid parking or the Fortezza Fiera garage.
Is it a hostel or a hotel?
It's a hybrid. Some floors are dedicated to students living there for the semester, while others are standard hotel rooms for short-stay guests.
How far is the Duomo?
It's about a 15-20 minute flat walk, or a quick 5-minute ride on the T1 tram which stops directly in front of the hotel.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. It's a buffet style available for ~€19.50, but many guests recommend walking to a nearby café instead.
اندرونی نکات
- ✨
The laundry room is often free or very cheap for guests—a huge perk for long-term travelers.
- ✨
Don't buy water; there are filtered water stations in the corridors, so bring a reusable bottle.
- ✨
The 'Work Café' on the ground floor is open to the public and often has better vibes (and coffee) than the breakfast room.
جانے سے پہلے جاننے کی 5 چیزیں
💡The elevators can be confusingly slow during 'class times' when students are rushing out.
💡You might be the oldest person in the lobby if you are over 35.
💡The 'gym' is actually quite good—better than most hotel gyms, with panoramic views.
💡Room cleaning is daily for hotel guests, but don't expect turndown service or chocolates on the pillow.
💡The rooftop bar prices are 'hotel high'—you're paying for the view, not the mixology.
