Guest Reviews
- Robert (9/5): - Great location. Big spacious room. A bit complicated to get in and out with two keys and a code plus a key to access lift.
- Brad (9/5): Accomodating, entleman host. Great communication. Classic building with modern amenities. Impossible to beat location. - Simple,very clean and well maintained, in an historic building. It’s not fancy, but it’s very traditional Italian. If you’re only in Florence for a few days and plan to be out and about much of your time, this is about as good as it gets. Nothing
- Gina (8/5): Ask for a room with a view of the courtyard - Great location
- EfrenRodriguez (6/5): - Ubicacion y la chica que me atendio el ultimo dia Limpieza y el hombre que me atendio la mañana del segundo dia
- Aurely (8/5): A night in Florence - The location, near every activities
Very silent
Early check in possible and allow to drop off the luggage’s More soap and bathroom amenities would be nice
- levins (9/5): -
- Vagelis Sotiriou (10/5): -
- Varda (8/5): מקום יפה ומיוחד רק רועש בלילות - מיקום, המבנה העתיק והאווירה, מרווח מאד, נקי ונוח רועש בלילות ( בעיקר בסוף שבוע) ואם סוגרים את החלון אין בכלל אוויר
- Luisa (10/5): Molto piacevole - La posizione, centrale e comodissima Tutto bene
- Ashley (10/5): Perfect location for my short trip - Great location
- SILVIA (4/5): -
- Maria (8/5): Localização fantástica - Muito perto dos pontos mais importantes da cidade. Rua com uma oferta diversificada: Restaurantes, diversas lojas de comercio, pastelaria, supermercado, local de venda de sandes italianas, muito bem confeccionadas.

- Maria Eugenia (9/5): - I arrived much earlier than the usual check-in time, and my room was ready, so I could leave my bags and get refreshed, which was really nice. My room was really big and the bed was very comfortable (I like firm mattresses). The staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a good selection of choice, and the location was great. I also like that it is in an old building with a lot of character.
- Christine (8/5): - Sehr zentral!
- Janette (8/5): Nice Location, but needing a little work - Nice location and large room; large windows; air conditioning worked well Some maintenance needed in bathroom and on front door lock; shower could have been cleaner
- Claudia (9/5): -
- Hanna (10/5): Excellent stay! - Everything was perfect for a long weekend of exploring Florence and Tuscany, the location was great with all main sights within walking distance and public transport nearby. My single room was comfortable and had everything I needed, staff were friendly and communication via WhatsApp worked well with clear instructions for late check-in and replies to any other questions. Very happy with my stay and would highly recommend! Leaving the beautiful place

- frédéric (8/5): Séjour dolce vita florentaise en cœur de ville - Emplacement au top !
Calme et au milieu de tout.
Petit déjeuner complet mais pas fou (à proximité des pasterrias traditionnelles sont très bien .)
Checking tardif mais efficace ( clés disponibles et ouvertures wathsapp sans problème).
Resto en face trattoria pas terrible , privilegier plutôt l’osteria del corso (ambiance romantique et plats de qualité). Une petite rénovation mais l’essentiel est là , ménage fait chaque jour , serviettes remplacées, lit fait .

- Mariana (8/5): - We had a large, clean, and well-maintained room. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, and the staff kindly facilitated our late check-in at 11 pm The street-facing room was quite loud late into the night (until around 2–3 am), and early morning noise from housekeeping was also disruptive

- Camilla (8/5): -
- panitsa (10/5): - The hotel is located in the center of Florence, in a beautiful classic building, just like the rest of the city. The room was extremely beautiful and spotlessly clean. The hairdryer worked perfectly, and at the entrance there was a fridge with water priced at €0.50, which is very convenient, as water costs around €2 throughout the city. In addition, the receptionist was exceptionally kind and helpful.since we arrived early by train, she arranged for us to access the room earlier than the standard check-in time.

- Andrei (8/5): -
- Stephan (7/5): Locanda Orchidea werde ich gerne wieder zur Übernachtung besuchen. - Frühstück hatte ich nicht, Lage mitten in der Altstadt von Florenz, das Zimmer ist spartanisch eingerichtet, hat aber alles was ich brauche, wenn ich eh den ganzen Tag nicht da bin. Habe gut im Bett geschlafen, Bad/WC war sauber und alles hat funktioniert. Wie gesagt, das Zimmer ist klein und spartanisch. Gestört hat mich das aber nicht.
- Valeria (8/5): -
- Eliza (9/5): Great! - The location was my favourite thing about this accommodation. Really loved the area and the building. I would book again if having the chance. At night, the heat (I assume) would start around 4-5 am and was making a loud noise that would wake me every time.
- Christian (8/5): Si può fare meglio - Stanza grande e ottima posizione. Pulizia carente.
- Natalia (10/5): Magnifique séjour dans un endroit rempli de beauté, de charme et d'histoire! - Super emplacement au coeur du centre historique de la ville pour découvrir à pieds toutes les atractions touristiques et flaner tranquillement dans les rues de Florence. Dormir dans la tour d'un palais citadin style Renaissance avec une entrée digne de son nom, apporte une touche particulière d'authenticité, de charme et de reverie au séjour.
Rien à dire : hébergement propre, petit déjeuner très diversifié, personnel très chaleureux et disponible.
Merci encore à Dimitri pour l'accueil, les renseignements et sa prévenance !
- Antonio (8/5): - Posizione, ampiezza e pulizia camera, gentilezza nell’ accoglienza
