“C-Hotels Diplomat strikes me as a practical choice in Florence, particularly for those valuing proximity to the train station and convenient tram access to the airport. While some reports mention concerns with older furnishings and potential security issues, the location and helpful staff still stand out. I would suggest double-checking on recent upgrades to ensure the room meets expectations.”
