Lousy mattress
Kind of uncomfortable. Broken tile everywhere and be aware that the bathrooms are communal and not attached to the rooms. Probably wont stay here again. However, the hotel is very centrally located in Florence and is walking distance from some of the most popular attractions.

I like the location but the property is outdated. I didn't know there is no wifi in my room. I have to come out of my room and sit on a beat up leather sofa with the 2 rooms across from the sofa. Also I didn't realize that I had to share a small shower with other guests. The elevator is super small. You can't fit any suitcase inside it. I barely can fir in there alone. No coffee maker, TV and most importantly WiFi in the room.

Very old building but right off main square. View was amazing. Spacious but sparsely furnished room. WiFi only in common area. Good value if you don’t mind less than luxury accommodations.

This hotel is at a perfect location right in front of the Duomo. And even though it’s noisy outside, once you close the wooden shutter, you do not hear anything. Humberto and Alessandro are awesome. One of the cleaning person is not so friendly. He seemed to be bothered my me asking him a question.

Probably the best location of any hotel ever!
Make no mistake this is a very basic hotel. Very basic. And we loved it! There was an aircon unit, tea and coffee making facilities and the bathroom had recently tiled and fitted out with a modern suite. The room itself was very clean and large with lots of old furniture and decor that made it totally charming. This place is very well run and we were allowed to leave our luggage before we checked in and after we checked out which allowed us to make the most of our trip without humping luggage around.

Nice hotel right by the Duomo
Really lovely hotel, had a room with a private bathroom and to be honest, I've been in 3* hotels which were in worse condition than this 1*! the room was huge, bathroom looked brand new, tea and coffee facilities in the room. Close to the Duomo, everything was perfect. Friendly staff. Room had a fan and an aircon unit which was perfect for the hot weather. The only thing I would recommended is to bring ear plugs as it's noisy due to the location - not the hotels' fault!

Property & service aren't as great as the location
I booked this room based purely on it's excellent location so was willing to overlook the following:there is no air conditioning-only one fan in our large room, no in room WIFI (wifi only available in the common area which was suffocatingly hot due to there being no A/C, no fridge in the room, no ice machine and a very shabby dirty looking bathroom. We stayed in room 4 which had a hole in the window patched with plexiglass & tape as well as a broken shutter and the shabby, dirty looking bathroom across the hall had a broken door as well. The elevator is only big enough for one person or your luggage but not both-you have to send your luggage up one piece at a time. Service wasn't great-we were made to feel that they just wanted our money, and speaking of money, we were asked to pay in cash via email confirmation prior to arrival and again at check in which I found very sketchy, unprofessional, and brazen.I felt pestered by the staff asking me to pay cash & pay in advance (needless to say I paid with credit card) and also felt pestered by the cleaning staff who hovered around outside of our room waiting for us to leave each day-so much so that we told them not to even bother cleaning on one of the days to get them to stop loitering in the hall outside of our room.
