Guest Reviews
- Jarmo (6/5): One night close to railway station. - Good location if you need to be close to Santa Maria Novella station. Not very fancy but OK to sleep over night.
- Roel (2/5): - Dit is geen hotel maar een hostel. Onze kamer was een mansarde met de dakpannen zichtbaar. We hadden wel een eigen badkamer maar die lag op de gang, dus geen deel van de kamer. Geen waterdruk wat spoelen moeilijk maakt. Het bed is te klein als je 1,80 meter lang bent. Inchecken verliep heel onvriendelijk alsof we niet welkom waren. . Ontbijt bestond uit voorverpakte industriële producten. Een schande voor Italië.
- P8453WGpaulc (2/5): Filthy no staff no breakfast dishonest - Dirty abandoned hostel! Staff nowhere to be seen. Kitchen filthy. Staff failed to provide breakfast. Nothing at all. No sign of Staff to ask. After complaint to agent, manager lied to cover tracks claiming we were told to go to hotel above. Kitchen same state next day. Went to hotel upstairs and manager no idea about lie. Staff member got him to cover. Shower and toilet faulty and serious health hazards. Seemed like we were the only guests. Do jot go here!
- Maurizio (10/5): - Ottima location, personale gentile
- MEGUMI (10/5): - フィレンツェSMN駅からホテルまで、ホテルから歌劇場までが、徒歩のみで楽に移動できました。 建物入り口を入って、ホテルのドアまでが、夜は真っ暗で携帯のライトを付けないと歩けませんでした。困ったことは、その一点だけです。
- mahalvinay (2/5): Avoid this place - "Avoid This Place – Disappointing Stay in Florence" Our stay in Florence was a huge disappointment. This place felt more like an abandoned house than a hotel—no staff around, no service, and a generally unfriendly atmosphere. Breakfast only starts at 8 AM, so we couldn’t have it since most tours start earlier. The kitchen amenities were lacking (no working kettle!), and there was no hot water in the shower. They also charge 7 euros per person per day as a city tax, with very little in return. If you're traveling to Florence, I’d strongly suggest looking elsewhere for a comfortable and welcoming stay. This place isn’t worth the rating and definitely doesn’t meet expectations for a good trip.
- Johnny (6/5): Enkelt boende som har en del att önska - Rummet var okej. Luftigt och högt i tak. Duschmunstycket var trasigt och vattnet i duschen rann inte undan. AC:n väsnades. Frukosten väldigt enkel och bestod mestadels av fikabröd. På frukosten kunde man sitta på en vetande. Den var ganska trevlig.
- Kenneth (6/5): - Making contact once I arrived was challenging. The buzzer/door bell was inoperative. The phone number was not accurate. Once access was given the wrong floor was given. My room was tucked in a back section of the building down a narrow corridor. Noisy with mosquitoes. Down steep steps to a bathroom. Breakfast was good, staff was friendly and helpful though. Accommodations are very overpriced at $213. Would not stay here again.
- zandra (2/5): - This property is located about 20 minutes walking from the cathedral. Is a quiet location. The reason of the 1 star is the lack of communication and false advertising. We arrived to the hotel after 3 pm (checking time) and nobody was at the reception, I had no line to call an Italian number, good thing one of our friends arrived and he was able to call. We got the codes to get in, I rented 2 rooms, both with private bathroom, A/C and hairdryer. As soon as I got into my room, the temperature was 24/25 (75/77), which it was pretty hot for me, there was no control remote for the A/C, there was no hairdryer neither. I contacted the hotel via Expedia and no answer. Waited few hours and message again and silence. The other room that I rent it, didn’t have a bathroom inside the room… you had to leave your room, walk in the hall, go downstairs and you will see the bathroom. Showering was another problem.. the water accumulated at your feet, almost overflowing if you took a shower that lasted more than 4 minutes. The hotel finally answered back 24 hours after my checkout to tell me that it seems that the people staying in the same room before us probably stole the hairdryer and that did not believe the room was hot as nobody else complain about the rooms being hot just me. Customer service is just horrendous.
- cheminem (2/5): Couldn't get in! - Arrived at the guesthouse as it is not a hotel yesterday 15th Nov 23 around 3.30pm. Where the doorbell is was a note to call for check in. The management assumes whoever is checking in has a phone. My husband buzzed every bell in the building and someone let us in. When we got to the front door of the rooms we rang the bell, again no answer. There was a combination entry so my husband punched in a bunch of 4 digits and was lucky enough to find one that opened the door. The place was completely abandoned, no receptionist no management. We picked up the phone at reception to call someone to come and check us in and give us a room. Again no answer. Fortunately the rooms were available and open so we chose the smallest one as it felt the warmest. It's mid November and no heating is on anywhere! The management arrived the next morning I complained I was cold and they put the heating on for 10 minutes to appease me and switched it back off. Shortly after they disappeared and were never seen again. I asked a guest to call them and ask if they could put the heating on. The guest told me it will come on at 10pm it was 6.30pm at the time. I am writing at 10.30pm no heating. I am absolutely freezing we are using the hairdryer to warm up the bed. My toes are numb. The 1st night we arrived the CCTV never moved, once they realised we had let ourselves in and we're black people it moves as soon as we leave our room. If they had checked the camera's the day before they would have seen we got into the property and come down to check us in. I will be informing the hotel regulation board that they are running a "hotel" but are not physically present and not providing basic amenities such as heat in winter.
- Bernadette (8/5): - Satisfaite de mon séjour
- Jill (10/5): - Quaint. Feels like you are staying in the real Florence. Desk manned for only a portion of the day. If you are arriving late, ensure you contact hotel for entry codes and room key. There is a code to building, code to floor of hotel and then key to room. Walkable from train station and walkable to attractions.
- Simona (6/5): - Schwer zu finden, kein Hinweis. Etage mit mehreren Zimmern in einem Mehrfamilienhaus. Desinteressierter Service sowohl bei ein- als aus auschecken. Frühstück war in Ordnung. Lage super. Ca 15 min Fußweg zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten. Nette Restaurants in der Umgebung.
- billbN8283UK (2/5): Avoid this place if you can. - La Corta dei principi Don't go here. Simply put. Because: 1. Black mold in the shower. 2. Very warm in the room. Refusal to turn on AC. Told me, "It's not July." 3. Mosquitoes while the window is opened. 4. Entry door and bathroom door scrape the floor. Rude management.
- Adem (10/5): - Çok merkezi konumda bir bed & breakfast. Görevliler çok sıcak kanlı ve yardımsever. Odalar temiz, eski ve otantik bir bina. Otel olmadığı için 24 saat resepsiyon beklentisine girmeyin. Anahtarınızı alıp istediğiniz saatte kendiniz girip çıkıyorsunuz. Kahvaltısı güzeldi, İtalyan kahvaltılıkları. Kahvaltı salonunda İstediğiniz zaman kullanabileceğiniz Espresso makinesi de var. Arka tarafta kalan odalara geçiş dar bir koridordan. Wifi hızlı.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Buon B&B. Posizione comodissima per poter visitare il centro storico, possibilità di parcheggiare nelle vicinanze. Personale gentilissimo, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. qualche piccolo dettaglio da rivedere per le dotazioni (tv, aspiratore bagno) Piacevole chicca il terrazzo a disposizione. Nel complesso consigliato
- ISABELLE (8/5): Une chambre dans un ancien palais - Hôtel très bien situé pour des excursions au départ de la gare. clim un peu faible du fait de la hauteur de plafond certainement. Petit déjeuner corrrect
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The bed needed to be replaced- broken springs along one edge! Very very basic, except the breakfast, which was a lovely, plentiful continental breakfast if you got there right at 8. It is a 20 minute walk to all the sites (which feels long when it is so hot in July!), 10 minute walk from the Santa Maria Novella station, and a 6 minute walk to a great price-fixed place for dinner, Trattoria do Giorgio (Only 15 Euro per person for 1/4L wine or soda, a primi piatta like pasta and an entree + a side dish...so yummy, we went both nights we were in Florence. Get there close to 7 if you can, or you may be waiting a while).
- Marie-Michèle (8/5): Jolie petit hôtel - Très bon petit déjeuner, atmosphère agréable, une belle petite terrasse et un très bel emplacement avec des restaurants et une pharmacie à proximité. Par contre, à cause de la fenêtre que le propriétaire laissait ouverte en notre absence, beaucoup d’insectes rentrait dans la pièce. Le lit pourrait être plus confortable. En somme un endroit agréable et jolie
- vivek (2/5): WORST EVER STAYING EXPERIENCE - Can not be worse. It's local ONS guest house and not a hotel. Entrance locked, property doors locked and no one to open for 30 minutes. I stand on rad knocking the door for 30 minutes. Can you beat that? Once a guy turned up who is supposed to be manager, from outside, he shared two codes to get in. I booked the best/largest room, but what I was given was the left out room. No A/C, plenty of mosquitoes, no warm water and moreover, no one to attend you in case if you die there. TOILET IN THE CORRIDOR. WORST EVER STAYING EXPERIENCE.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Das Hotel ist schwer zu finden, aussen kaum sichtbar angeschrieben. Der Staff ist sehr nett, die Räume aber extrem hellhörig. Das Frühstück ist dürftig. Die kleine Terasse ist sehr schön.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Bien située et très propre. Personnel agréable. Petit-déjeuner copieux, café exquis, mais exclusivement du pain et des pâtisseries de grande distribution. Mini frigo bien utile dans la chambre. La chambre 101 donne sur la rue bruyante! Dégât des eaux apparent sur le mur contigu à la salle de bain (sec mais pas décoratif). Manque de tablettes près du lavabo et dans la douche, d'un éclairage au-dessus du bureau (chambre sombre).
- Jalmari (6/5): Kehno hotelli - Pieni huone ja kulahtanut hotelli. Aamupala välttävä. En mene jatkossa tähän hotelliin.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location convenient to the train station and downtown
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Personale molto gentile e disponibile; struttura pulita e camera confortevole
- Erica (8/5): - Hotel confortevole, vicino alla stazione dei treni, 10 minuti a piedi al Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi. . Consiglio vivamente, buona la colazione
- NEVZAT (6/5): - Tek büyük yatak yerine yana yana getirilmiş iki yatak pek rahat değildi. Banyodaki duş kabini çok küçük idi, içinde iken kendi etrafımızda dönmek bile zordu. Sabit olması gereken malzemeler yerinden oynuyordu. Şampuan ve diğer banyo malzemeleri çok az bırakılmıştı. Üç gece kaldık, bu süre içinde ne havlular değişti, ne de çarşaflar. Sabah kahvaltısı saat 8'de başlıyordu, saati çok geçti ve bize uymadı. Kahvaltı zaten çok az malzemeli idi, Akdeniz ülkesi olmasına rağmen, domates veya yeşillik yoktu. Odamız sokağa bakıyordu ve çok gürültülü idi, ses izolasyonu şahane değil. Bunları umursmam diyorsanız kalınır, ben bir daha kalmam sanırım. Havaalanı-otel transferi var yazıyor web sayfasında, yok. Zaten İngilizce bilen de yok sayılır.
- Verified traveler (8/5): good B&B in Firenze - La Corte dei Principi has some rooms in one of the buildings in Firenze. We enjoyed staying in an authentic building rather than a larger hotel. The staff was very welcoming and the room was comfortable. The only drawback is that it is about a 20 minute walk to the centre of the Historic Area.
- Yehonatan (6/5): Ok hotel but not clean. - The hotel was fine, the staff super friendly (specially the front desk guy Giovani) but it was not clean at all.
- Paula Roberta (10/5): Recomendo. - Foi ótimo!
- Claude (8/5): Correct - Plancher et salle de bain propre,un petit lavage de mur serait bien. Sur la terrasse une senteur d’égout était toujours présente. Le personnel bienveillant et gentil. Bel environnement tranquille à 15 min de la basilique.
- Thomas (10/5): Perfect spot at a good price - Found this last minute and what a steal for the price. It's situated in a great location outside of the main city center area but within 15-25 minute walk anywhere in Florence. The hotel is a little hard to find but look for the Officina restaurant and the hotel door is right there. You have to park at a local garage which there is one down the road for $25 euro a night. It does have A/C and breakfast. Wifi was sketchy. Overall, great find for the price.
- Milena (10/5): Recomendado. - O local é bem localizado, com vários restaurantes por perto, mas que fecham cedo. Há também um supermercado ao lado. O quarto é super confortável e bem limpo. O staff foi muito simpático e cordial. Não tomamos café da manhã por lá, mas é um seviço extra que está disponível. Super recomendado!!
- 463johnt (8/5): This is okay - This a 3 star hotel. It is clean. It is small. The manager is friendly and speaks English. Breakfast is adequate. Luxurious it is not however it is good value. The Hotel is 15 minutes easy walk from the centre of Florance. Car parking is near but costs 30 Euros for 24 hours. The front of the Hotel is not well signed. There is good but small supermarket next to the hotel and a decent Italian restaurant opposite. For the money I would recommend this Hotel.
- Tzeitel (8/5): Excelente - Buena ubicación, hotel limpio. Desayuno incluido y un Elevador!! Personal muy servicial
- salvatore (4/5): Piu ombre che luci - Letto scomodo, stanza senza frigo, servizio colazione ridottissimo. Zona distante da centro e stazione.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 中心部まで 徒歩5 分の立地でした。 部屋は清潔で、Wi-Fiあり 、冷蔵庫もありました。 朝食も美味しかったです。
- Vseva (2/5): The most horrible service we ever received!!! - We spent 10 min. trying to find the hotel till locals pressed a button in an ordinary apartment building. The sealing in hotel (picture attached) under the stairs was too low and not marked. I hit my head and scratched glasses. In shower no body wash. Everything felt humid, cold and even clothes became wet. Opening the cover on the bed we found some insects!!! Next morning we complained and asked to give us a heater or do something. Reception spoke very poor English, but screaming that they not going to do anything and one complain doesn't change hotel’s rating! They don't care about us! We decided to leave, even next night was payed. On the way out from the hotel ran into another person who called himself manager and tried to explain again how bad was our day. He looks as drank! He had the terrible response seemed be happy that we are leaving. Last we heard was Get out! Thanks Hotels.com, they kindly responded to the horrible situation and refunded payment as well as all points.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Günstige Lage, nicht weit vom Bahnhof Stilvolle Zimmerund eine schöne Frühstücksterrasse
- Verified traveler (6/5): lot seem of disappointing surprises - We booked this hotel a week before our trip to Florence. It was the only hotel available under €100 a night. CON - no parking - unless you are willing to pay €25 a night for their parking, there is none available. It is located in a residential area so the city won't let you park on the streets legally. we spent an hour the first night trying to find parking. It was a nightmare. Also the website failed to tell us parking would cost €25 a night - not clean - the room was not well swept. In fact when they cleaned it they swept up little piles and then just left them - poor plumbing - my shower turned into a foot bath because the water would not drain. It took about 15 minutes post-shower for the water to go down. That was also the case in the sink - wifi problems - wifi did not work for most of our trip - smell from bathroom - it had a smell of sulfur the entire stay - city tax - the amount if the tax was something they could not help, as the city chooses the price. But it was way to high to NOT be advertised. I have stayed in over 20 hotels in Italy and never had a city tax that was more than €2. I was surprised that at the end of my trip I got an email for check out that said city tax is €4.50 per person per night. I expected to pay €8 at the end of my trip. Instead I paid €18. That should have been advertised. PROS - good location - only 20 minute walk from Ponte Vecchio - staff was friendly
- AlinaSoareManucu (10/5): Lovely and warm hotel and the staff very friendly and nice - So happy to have stayed in this lovely hotel. The location is great, 5 minutes to the SMN station and 15 minutes to the centre of Florence. The rooms are clean, you have a fridge in the room and also wi-fi that you can use on the terrace. The breakfast is good and perfect. You can eat inside or outside on the beautiful terrace. The best part is that you feel like home, everything was so cozy and nice, the staff very helpful, aways smiling and nice. You really feel like home! We would definitely come back! Thank you for having us! Alina Soare-Manucu
- Hugo (4/5): Hotel close to the city - Room 101: the air conditioning made a huge noise. A lot of noise during the night because rooms are on the road side and no double glazing (obviously). The taxes at the end of the stay are enormous : 15€/pers.
- zeneszerzo (8/5): Good price / quality - This hotel is 5-10 minutes by walk from the train station and 15-20 minutes by walk from the most attractions of the city. There is a shop nearby which is open until midnight each day. Also there are some tram and bus stops nearby. The room was nice, the bathroom was huge in size, but the shower could have been bigger and the soap dish was broken. You can't hear the neighbour rooms, but you can hear everything from the corridor, which is annoying in the mornings. The breakfast was very good, the wifi works well.
- Marianne (10/5): - Very pleased with the service and hotel. Very friendly staff. Big and clean room. Nice and cozy breakfast area.
- tommy7725 (8/5): Nice! - A very nice and clean hotel with all the necessary staff!! Air conditioning, small fridge, nice bathroom and generally plenty of room for your luggage. It is also near to the SMN station and there is a Carrefour Express supermarket exactly next to the hotel. Normal breakfast with nice espresso!! Suggested!
- 202r_mis (2/5): Very very noisy - Awake every morning at 6am since you hear basically everything that happens in the building as everyone was in your room! I do not recommend at all! Plus breakfast is total shame, everything is chemical... Outside the evident beauty of Florence, do not expect to rest in that terrible hotel
- 415linnetteb (8/5): Great cozy small hotel - This is a very small but delightful hotel. It has only the basics so do not expect fancy hotel amenities. The room and the private bathroom are small but it is perfect for couples only. The breakfast room is very nice and has enough varieties to chose from. The staff is great and very attentive to your needs. The only problem we had was the poor internet access but sometimes it is for the best to be disconnected from the outside world to fully enjoy the beauties of Florence.
- George (2/5): Keep away. - We were totally disappointed, The property was poorly sign posted in fact was not sign posted at all , I had to ask two shop owners where this establishment was . Standard of cleanliness was non existent in my opinion, Breakfast was less than satisfactory .The advertising indicated a quality establishment displaying fine photographs ,I can only assume they had been taken some time ago as the establishment no longer resembles the said photos . We booked in for 3 nights but left after 1. Consequently being a substantial amount financially out of pocket . Needless to say we would not recommend this establishment. We don't understand how it was rated 4 out of 5 by Hotel.com.
- Liliana (8/5): Convenient and clean hotel. - Good location ! The room and bathroom were very clean!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Cheap and cheerful - Basic hotel, a bit dated but the rooms are a good size and it is in a good location, quite close to the river and walkable from the train station. Friendly staff and everything in the rooms worked as it should. Bathrooms a bit cramped but clean and shower was hot.
- Craig (10/5): Beautiful hotel with awkward check-in on Sun eves! - Check-in was definitely strange - no one staffs the desk after 19:00 on Sundays, so they left me a note with a phone number to call and then instructions to pick up my key from a nearby business! It could have been a disaster if I hadn't been able to dial Italian phones from my mobile!
- iulianamoisa (8/5): Hotel - The people from the hotel are very nice and their terrace is great, loved it ( you can stay over there all day long). The breakfast is actually pretty good in my opinion, only the building didn't impressed me that much.
- Jessica (10/5): Great hotel!! - On a trip to Italy that required three different hotels, this one was our favorite. The room was huge. It had an entryway and a huge bathroom. It was very quiet. The staff was very nice and helpful. The hotel is close to Santa Maria novella station. We unfortunately we up too early to try breakfast, it started at 8am.
- Andreas (4/5): - Even though the hotel claimed that there was a free parking we had to pay 20€ a day! The wifi was bad
- Andrew (10/5): Great Hotel - Hidden Gem - Quiet room not too far from the sites. Very helpful staff. We had an ensuite room which was great - very comfortable. The hotel is not well marked out the front which is confusing initially but once you work out where it is no problems.
- "Scozzese" (8/5): Fine for our five nights in Florence. - Street door, stairs leading up to, and layout and decor of the hotel seemed very traditional Italian. Quite atmospheric and might have been out of a Firenzian version of Montalbano!
- lora (8/5): good location, large room and bathroom - Simple breakfast Plenty of space Bright room Florence is beautiful Easy to find from train station
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel - Wonderful service. Nice and clean room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Love this hotel - We love this hotel. Very good location close to the train station. The breakfast was good and friendly people.
- William (8/5): La Corte dei Principi - I had an enjoyable stay at La Corte dei Principi. The room was clean, the hotel service was both helpful and timely, and the morning breakfast was adequate.
- Keen Traveller (4/5): Disappointing - Finding the hotel was extremely difficult, as there is no signage at all. No signs either at the lift, or at the door to reception. Our room was barely adequate, with no hairdryer, no refrigerator and no tea/coffee facility. We were informed there might be mosquitoes, and were given a plug-in device which we found the next morning to be not working. Fortunately we did buy our own insect spray, and by our count, we killed at least 40 blood-laden mosquitoes. The bathroom floor was covered in water from the defective shower fitting. On the positive side, the room was very quiet, staff were pleasant and breakfast was adequate, although the croissants were very stale. Sorry that I can't be more positive about this hotel, but it was a disappointing start to our Florence holiday. I strongly recommend more signage to allow better access to the hotel.
- Paris (10/5): Location and Value. - Great Stay and a terrific value....upscale neighborhood, with friendly helpful staff, nice breakfast and large clean rooms.....
- Barbara (8/5): La Rosa Townhouse exchgd for La Corte dei Principi - We actually did not stay here. They e-mailed us that the hotel was being renovated and offered La Rosa Townhouse instead. La Rosa Townhouse was excellent and far exceeded our expectation. The Townhouse huge, nicely decorated and very comfortable. We would recommend staying there.
- Mulu (8/5): three brothers hotel - There once was a tale of three brothers who owned a hotel, and what a place it was. Three brothers 1 light hearted, 1 charming and 1 that was over at all. All three of them make great breakfast, but one of them (and we don't know who) would always put way too much sugar in the orange juice. They were very nice, very helpful and one the best personable Hotels. They even asked us if we were a Muslim at check in because of Ramadan, totally unrelated to our names. The bathrooms were small and so was the television but we come to learn that that is in story in Florence. We don't regret staying there. It was a lot of fun and when we come back to Florence we will definitely come by and say hi and pick up the giltman.com order we had sent there. The three brothers were great including the one that was too hip for it all.
