The Social Hub Florence Lavagnini is praised for its modern, clean facilities and convenient location, a short walk from the train station, the city center, and Via Faenza's dining options. The rooftop pool stands out, offering amazing views of Florence, including the Duomo. Some guests have noted that the setup resembles student accommodation, but appreciate the quiet work areas, communal kitchen, and the onsite laundry.

mixed feelings about this stay.

poor air conditioningsmall rooftop pool
The room felt quite basic. Not what i expected. the air conditioning barely worked. it was also noisy because of other guests. the rooftop pool seemed small. for such a large hotel, i thought it would be bigger.
