- Michał (10/5): Super miejsce polecam gorąco - Super lokalizacja, blisko katedry i innych atrakcji, fajna kawiarnia w okolicy z wypiekami i dobra kawą.
Czystość w pokoju, codziennie ścielone łóżko i wymienione ręczniki i worki na śmieci.
Bardzo miły Pan Dario który zawsze zadba o gościa jak i również opowiedział o okolicy i okolicznych restauracjach. Bardzo małe ciśnienie pod prysznicem i kabina prysznicowa dość mała jak dla mnie.
- Claire (8/5): a great, quiet, comfortable room to stay for my couple of nights in Florence. No issue at all, i wou - The building was incredible and there was one room (although i didnt stay in it) that has original paitings on the walls. The location was great, away from the tourists but close enough to be amongst it all within minutes. I had a lovely stay and recommend it to anyone travelling to Florence. They even lent me an umbrella as it was raining! I had no complaints, everything was great!
- rebecca (10/5): - Dario was exceptionally fantastic, maps, guides, water, coffee- just perfect!
Location was superb, 5 min walk to Duomo, wonderful bars & restaurants.
Rooms were spacious, bed & pillows perfect- just wished our stay was longer!
Will definitely return to Florence & Guest House Morandi 🙏 room 12 is available- beautiful city 😍 That 24 hrs in a day is not enough 😫

- Johanna (9/5): -
- Matt (10/5): - We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Morandi is a very comfortable, relaxed guesthouse in a prime location near all the main sights. It was the perfect size and vibe for a week-long family trip. Dario, the General Manager, is a superstar and really elevated our experience with his hospitality. We will definitely be back!
- oli.v (10/5): -
- Marina (10/5): Idéal pour un voyageur solitaire qui apprécie la simplicité et la beauté - Dans une ruelle au calme, mais néanmoins proche des points d'intérêt de Florence (15 minutes à pied du Dôme, 20 minutes de la gare).
Un vieux parquet et des meubles en bois massif pour un décor authentique et charmant dans les murs épais de cet ancien couvent.
Propreté et confort
La chambre individuelle est parfaite pour un voyageur solo (décoration soignée et équipements optimaux malgré la petite surface, volets intérieurs, bouilloire pour préparer du thé ou du café, sèche-cheveux, mini-frigo, climatisation)
Staff aimable et prévenant
Check-in facilité par un code d'accès (en cas d'arrivée tardive par exemple)
Bon rapport qualité prix Rien (sauf qu'il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner)

- EMANUELE (9/5): Ottima posizione e personale pronto ad accoglierti in modo educato fornendo tutte le informazioni utili per visitare la - Ottima posizione e cordialità del personale
- Susan (9/5): Recommended. Central, affordable, clean, warm. - This property was incredibly convenient & close to landmarks, without being right beside them. I had a really good rest as the street was very quiet & there was no disruption or traffic noise.
The check in process was really smooth with the electronic access code (after 5pm) and the staff were really friendly & helpful with local information & suggestions for places to eat, the next day.
I picked the property based on other reviews & the affordable price. I would recommend this guest house to other people.
Also, as a single female traveller, I felt safe at night & walking near the property. -
- Li (9/5): -
- Camila Helen (10/5): - Equipe amistosa, limpeza excepcional e ótima localização. nada.

- Clara (10/5): - La struttura è accogliente e esattamente come in descrizione/nelle fotografie sull’annuncio. Le camere sono ordinate e pulite, nessuna critica o osservazione da fare. Chi gestisce Guest House Morandi è estremamente disponibile, attento e gentile. Lo consiglio
- Lucia (9/5): Ottimo - Posizione e ampiezza camera Niente
- Danial (9/5): Good choice! - Its an amazing place with a comfortable accessibility to center if florence! Loved it! The only thing that it lacks is a little bit of kitchen facilities like plates, spoons and etc!
- Leandra (10/5): - La camera era stupenda e il personale gentilissimo e super disponibile, centrale come posizione infatti è a pochi passi dalla Cattedrale di Santa Maria del fiore. Sicuramente se dovessimo ritornare a Firenze sceglieremo questa struttura
- Alison (9/5): -
- Daniela (10/5): - Un piccolo gioiello in un angolo tranquillo e centrale. Non c'è possibilità di fare colazione ma il piccolo frigo permette di organizzarzi. La macchina per il caffe espresso è sempre disponibile. Tutto perfetto. Ci tornerò di sicuro.
- Marion (10/5): Excelente - La cama era muy cómoda. La calle está bien pero la zona alrededor por donde llegamos no era la mejor. Igual volvería por la relación calidad precio.
- Shmuel (7/5): - מרחק הליכה קצר מבית הכנסת והמסעדות הכשרות The room was not in the best state of repair.
פתיחה בקוד אלקטרוני ולכן לא מתאים להתארחות בשבת לשומרי שבת.
- Rocio (10/5): - Hotel muy céntrico a pocos minutos caminado del Duomo. Habitación amplia con una pequeña terraza y las camas muy cómodas. Todo el personal fue super amable, nos recomendaron zonas y sitios para comer, Muchas Gracias a Fortunato y a Darío!!
La única pega el secador de pelo que se paraba por calentamiento pero rápido lo solucionaron dejándonos uno de repuesto.
Siempre que vuelva a Florencia me quedaré aquí!
- paula (10/5): Excelente hotel - - estaba muy cerca de todo lo turístico (sobretodo del duomo)
- el personal muy amable y muy atentos.
- la habitación muy cómoda y limpia. Me gustó todo, no tengo nada malo que decir.
- Diego (9/5): Sistemazione consigliata facilmente raggiungibile anche a piedi - Struttura con concierge durante la giornata, poi gestita in autpnomia. Bel palazzo antico, entrata doppia con ascensore o scala, un po' modesta. Cameta ampia Qualche capello di troppo (non nostro) nel bagno e sugli asciugamani..
- Yiğit Can (10/5): Highly Recommended - It was all around a great stay. Very comfy room, great location, great staff and a very clean room. It’s a 10/10.
- ÁNGELA (10/5): Hotel con encanto en Florencia - Hotel con mucho encanto y muy bien ubicado. Desde el hotel se llega facilmente andando a los principales puntos de interés de Florencia. Destacar que el recepcionista que nos atendió, fue encantador y muy atento ayudandonos en todo momento a organizar nuestro tour por Florencia. Fuimos en enero y la climatización de las habitaciones era perfecta.
- SILVINA ANDREA (9/5): - Lo espacioso y cómodo del lugar, disponer de un pequeño vestidor a la salida del baño y de un sillón cómodo para descansar luego de una caminata por Florencia, el estilo de decoración fiorenttino de las habitaciones. La excelebte predisposición de Darío para facilitar información y paraguas por lluvia. El baño algo pequeño, pero con toallero que permitía secar la ropa, que se nos mojó por la lluvia.
- Sofia (9/5): - L'host è molto cordiale, ci ha dato informazioni utilissime per il nostro soggiorno a Firenze e la posizione è ottima, vicinissima alla Cattedrale. Consigliato!
- Matti (10/5): Well run hotel, great value, central location - Great location about 25 mins walk from train. Clean and beautiful room with comfortable bed and linens (great to have both firm and squishy pillows.) Espresso maker and water dispenser in lobby. Towel heater. Propierter quite eager to assist. Great value for price. I had a little learning curve with the shower but once I sorted it out it was fine. Plenty of hot water.
- Jennifer (8/5): Very pleasant for a short stay but lacked facilities and human presence in general - comfort of room Nol breakfast room
- María José (10/5): Afortunato es muy agradable, se tomó el rato en darnos unas recomendaciones de donde ir y donde comer. - Si mucho El ascensor es pequeño e incómodo
- Franco (8/5): -
- Kaltrina (10/5): Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt im Guesthouse Morandi und würden immer wieder buchen! - Wir waren sehr begeistert von der Sauberkeit und Größe des Zimmers. Alles war sehr geräumig, in einem tollen Zustand und auch das Personal war sehr freundlich! Bei einem erneuten Florenztrip würden wir wieder Morandi buchen! Es wäre schon gewesen einen Ganzkörperspiegel oder zumindest einen etwas größeren Spiegel im Zimmer zu haben. (Abgesehen von diesem im Badezimmer.) Aber das ist Meckern auf dem höchsten Niveau.
- Anne (8/5): - Good bed and bedding. nice bathroom. Nice, informative and helpful staff.
- Elvira (9/5): -
- Viktoriia (8/5): Загалом все добре. На фото сайту начебто був більший(інший)номер, проте в цілому все добре - Тиша вночі, ідеальна чистота, гарні косметичні засоби. На сайті букінгу вказано «неповторний сніданок», проте його не можна було купити навіть за додаткову оплату. Але, думаю, це не проблема готелю.

- Agnieszka (10/5): - Die Lage ist sehr zentral, das Zimmer bequem und sauber, das Personal sehr nett!
- Abdullah Hikmet (10/5): Harika karşılama ve tertemiz oda. - Harika bir karşılamaydı. Detaylı şehir bilgisi veren resepsiyonist arkadaş çok yardımsever ve güler yüzlüydü.
Oda temiz ve tasarim olarak kaldiginiz sehrin hissini veriyordu. Otele ulasana kadar yollar biraz problemli buyuk valizle gidecekler icin sorun olabilir. Ancak sakin bi yer arayanlar için buna değer.

- Mihwa (8/5): 만족합니다 - 직원이 친절하고 숙소가 깔끔하고 예뻤습니다 중심가와도 가까워서 도보로 이용하기 편했어요 방이 넓진 않지만 알고 예약한거라 큰 상관은 없었습니다
- Christian (8/5): -
- Ineta (10/5): Womderful stay - I received a very warm welcome with early check-in, and Dario truly went out of his way to accommodate me. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout my stay. The property itself is beautiful, with tasteful décor and a wonderful atmosphere.
The room was bigger than expected, spotlessly clean, and very well maintained. The bed was extremely comfortable, with fresh sheets and towels, and the antique, high-quality furniture felt elegant rather than old or worn—which is rare to find. Everything felt cared for and of a high standard. Extra water was provided, and the room featured beautiful artwork that added to the experience.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. Dario also gave excellent recommendations and clearly takes pride in offering a high level of hospitality.
The only minor downside is that the rooms are not fully soundproof, so if you prefer to sleep in, it’s best to request a room further from reception. Aside from that, I truly can’t fault this place—it met my expectations, which rarely happens.
- Anna (10/5): - I arrived very early in the morning prepareed to just drop my luggage and head off, but I was kindly allowed to check in early - it allowed me to have a little rest before heading out to enjoy the beautiful city!
- Małgorzata (10/5): Wybrałabym ponownie - Bardzo dobry kontakt z pracownikiem hoteliku, udało mi się dostać pokój nawet wcześniej, niż zaczyna się doba hotelowa, co było dla mnie bardzo ważne, bo akurat padał deszcz i cała przemokłam. W pokoju czajnik, mini lodówka. Pokój odnowiony, bardzo czysty. Zapomniałam wywiesić kartkę, aby nie sprzątać, więc miałam dodatkowo zasłane łóżko i posprzątane. Kiedy zepsuła się winda, pan z recepcji zszedł na dół, aby poprowadzić na piętro (hotelik mieści się pod dwoma numerami 50 i 52- są to połączone ze sobą dwie stojące obok kamienice. Ze śniadań nie korzystałam. Było cicho i spokojnie. Hotelik mieści się niedaleko Placu na którym znajduje się Szpital Niewiniątek.
- Patricia (10/5): Súper recomendado. Sin duda volvería . - Me encanto . Darío súper atento, no solo de que estuviéramos cómodos si no que también nos asesoro en la guía del destino. Todo el personal muy amables
- Donato (10/5): - Gentilissima l'accoglienza e disponibilità del personale. La Guest House è molto bella e suggestiva, camere spaziose e restaurate con cura, in zona centrale silenziosa e vicinissima a tutti i luoghi di maggiore interesse.
- effrosyni (8/5): - The staff was excellent, the hotel facilities quite satisfying. since the building is old I could hear the conversations of the rooms next to me..
- Barbara (9/5): - Gentilezza, cordialità e disponibilità. Posizione centrale, comoda per chi proviene dall'aeroporto e comunque a pochi minuti dai principali luoghi di arte e bellezza della magnifica Firenze.
- Olivier (10/5): 10/10 - Perfect location, just a 5–10 minute walk from the Duomo, with many good-quality restaurants nearby.
The rooms were very nice and spacious.
The receptionist was extremely kind and gave us great advice about shops and markets in Florence.
We highly recommend this guest house.
- Gianluca (1/5): Terrible. - The bathroom in my room looked nothing like the pictures online. I raised this issue with the receptionist and was told that “it’s a historic property, so every room is different.” I understand that explanation. However, that does not justify advertising a beautiful, spacious bathroom for the single room and then assigning guests a bathroom that is completely different and objectively inadequate.
The bathroom I was given was so small that I could not even sit properly on the toilet — my legs literally did not fit. This is not a matter of taste, but of basic usability.
I am a Genius Level 3 traveler on Booking.com, meaning I travel frequently and am very familiar with how accommodations are typically presented and managed. This situation was not handled adequately and falls well below the standards I normally experience at comparable properties.
If every room truly is different, then the property should clearly publish accurate photos of all room and bathroom variations, or at the very least avoid showcasing only the best one. According to Booking.com, there is no restriction preventing them from listing multiple room photos reflecting the actual differences. They simply chose not to do so.
No solution or alternative was offered on site. This experience feels misleading at best and deceptive at worst. I will never recommend this property to anyone.
