c-hotels Ambasciatori

The location is incredibly convenient, right across the street from the train station. The hotel is quite large; it felt like I walked forever down the corridor with my luggage to find my room. The room itself was small, and when I first entered, there was a faint, indescribable smell – couldn't tell if it was from renovation or something else, but it dissipated after airing out for a bit, so it was acceptable. The bathroom was small but clean. The area around the hotel is very lively. It's just a two or three-minute walk to Florence's historic center, and the main bus terminal is right next door, making it super easy to catch a bus to Siena. In the evenings, a lot of people gather outside the bus station chatting on the street. It was a bit intimidating the first time I saw it, but I later realized it's perfectly fine to just walk past them.

The middle-aged male staff member asked us to pay an additional 60 euros per day for a 'room upgrade.' After we declined, he deliberately assigned us to room A03, which is right next to the bar counter and overlooks the train station. There was constant noise, even after midnight. This was supposed to be a relaxing trip, and I can't believe we were penalized for not upgrading. The hotel's design is flawed; I've never seen a guest room right next to a bar counter! Plus, the shower drain was clogged. Absolutely furious!
