The staff were super helpful and informative. You really need to know that the three flights of stairs with no lift is hard work with a suitcase! Staff did offer but we thought we’d be okay (we made it but only just)! I’d only put one guest on the booking by mistake but luckily they could accommodate us both and didn’t charge any extra. So helpful and gave us lots of tips about where was safe and the main attractions. The room itself is basic but it’s good for a base to get your head down. The roof terrace (up more steps) is small but has a fantastic view.

Perfect location!

Although there was no hot water (an issue they were working on), as we were only booked in for two nights we chose to stay even though they offered us to cancel with no penalty. Honestly it was so hot out that a cool shower was perfect anyway. The staff were so kind, friendly and helpful that I would recommend staying here to anyone. Secondary, the location is absolutely perfect. Close to everything you’d want to see.

The staff are fantastic and were always a pleasure to interact with. The location is right in the historic district so most historic landmarks and shopping are easily within a 15-20 minute walk. It’s also similar distance to the train station. There are quite a bit of stairs and no elevator, but you are staying in a historic building, so we understood this. The rooms are somewhat dated and the colour scheme could use an update, but again, it’s a historic building and we weren’t there to see the colour scheme of the hotel room. The 360 degree, unobstructed view from the rooftop terrace, was phenomenal. It was the best place to have a nightcap at end our day!

The hotel was very disappointing, it was on the third floor of the building with no lift access. The entrance was dimly lit and the staircase narrow and gloomy.. There are no staff present over night from 2200-0800. This meant checking out with no receptionist. The room was small, furniture dated and my room was immediately next to the reception and main entrance 3 metres away. As a consequence, extremely noisy with people coming back late and the hotels answer was to provide earplugs! The air conditioning was temperamental. Extremely noisy bar and restaurant immediately below with lots of people sitting and drinking on the streets. I regret staying here, and would not recommend to others.

This isn’t a luxury hotel. It’s a comfortable, small hotel with extraordinarily kind staff who really want you to enjoy Florence. If you are looking for authenticity you will be surrounded by small bars, cafes and restaurants run by actual Florentines - and you will probably have a better time than if you stayed in someplace that cost twice as much. We loved every minute of it - and particularly the staff, who were wonderful.

Not good hotel but a nice location

The only reason I’m giving two stars is because the people were extremely kind and the location was wonderful. There are three very steep flights of stairs up to the hotel with no elevator. No in room, coffee or safe. There rooftop bar a great view but it is a joke. They kept saying that they had just reopened. We booked based on the ratings. It was terrible. With that said, the location was wonderful just off a little square with plenty of restaurants and wonderful coffees. It did not disappoint our trip. But it took everything we had not to move hotels. And by the way, it was nonrefundable so it would’ve been $2000 right now. I would advise you not stay here, especially if you’re older and the stairs are problematic.
