10/10 Exceptional

I absolutely loved my stay here! It is convenient to the train station (maybe about 10 min walk) and it’s about a 15 min walk to the Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, and maybe 20 min from the Duomo. It’s super convenient and ideal for local restaurants, gelato, and sightseeing. Eduina was amazing and helped me out with planning day trips and was super friendly and attentive. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Can’t recommend enough for a small hotel feel in a local Florence neighborhood.

Excellent experience
My stay was amazing. The room was excellent, comfy bed, clean with a window for air. What l liked best was that this unique hotel had a fantastic host Edwina who took care of me suggesting places to go see and authentic Italian restaurants. I loved the breakfasts and chats with her and others guests. A very positive energy with great service. Thank you for a memorable experience in Florence for the first time. I highly recommend this hotel .

2/10 Poor

Terrible place
Terrible - great location and it ends there. Overpriced for a closet with hard beds in an unmanned lobby at night and front doors don’t work - anyone can manually push doors open… No one is there after 7-8 pm. Party of 5 or 6 people came in and made lots of noise for an hour! This hotel is awful! The two receptionists were lovely. If I wanted to complain or had an issue - there was no one to talk to. I was not going to get up and ask those loud people to leave - so I was awake all night. I would like a refund for the last night! The shower is so tiny and awkward - at $300 a night I expect more. You have to carry your own luggage up two flights of stairs - everything is wrong and no Italian charm…too bad.

Property was very clean and nice location. Staff were very friendly but didn't speak english so it was difficult to communicate. We weren't sure about where the breakfast was since it wasn't in the small reception area. Wifi didn't work in our room.
