The slightly retro Hotel Dante has been a favorite among visiting theatre actors for years. Their autographed headshots add extra charm to the cluttered, art-crammed walls.
Rooms are a bit small. Some have a cruise cabin feel to them, with dark wood furniture, soft-colored bedding, and freshly painted walls. Bathrooms are small and white, plus clean and bright. We especially loved the open, sunny common areas on the main floor.
Both the lounge and inner garden are a refreshing place to have breakfast, or a drink anytime during the day. The hotel's location, on a silent corner in the shadow of Santa Croce, is quiet and calm. Atypical touches include the low, long couches in the breakfast lounge and tropical plant-life galore.
Hotel Dante is one of the few budget hotels in all of Italy (for that matter, possibly in the world) that offers fully-fledged room service! Tired actors habitually trudge into their rooms long after the kitchens have closed, and the staff insisted we assure you that they'll gladly whip of a plate of pasta for any and all guests, at any time of night. |
