Guest Reviews
- Dejan Kraljevski (10/5): Excellent - Everithing was excellent.We found the location very close to train station and also very close to the city amenities.Room was cleaned every day and host was very friendly and helpful.
- Macedo Lemes (9/5): -
- Veronica (10/5): Excelente lugar - Todo excelente para recorrer la ciudad y cerca de estación de metro
- Alexander (9/5): - Great location, easy walk to everything. Staff on check in were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and spacious and I’d happily stay here again. Good value for Florence even if it was the most expensive place on our trip! No remote for air conditioning but wasn’t too hot so didn’t really need it, there was a slight smell coming from the kitchen sink but not too bad.
- DONALD (1/5): - Don't be deceived by the pictures the place is not very nice. It's basically a hostel. Usually say you get what you pay for. Not in this case. The bathroom was disgusting. My wife and I have stayed at some not tonight places but this place was the worst .we would not stay.
- Moreno (8/5): - Ambiente pulito Non trovare niente come colazione
- Pavel (10/5): - It was wondurfull timt in Toscana. Real spirit of medle Italia. Nothing
- Mimma (7/5): -
- Irene (10/5): tutto molto bene, la proprietaria gentilissima e cordiale - molto centrale tutto bene
- Polina (8/5): Мы за такую цену не нашли ничего лучше - 1. Очень близко к вокзалу;
2. Находится в центре всего классного в городе;
3. Со мной заранее связались по вотсапу и уточнили, когда мы прибудем;
4. Была кухня, душевая, спальня. В целом, просторно;
5. Есть фен, микро телевизор, холодильник, фен, плита. Микроволновка общая в коридоре;
6. Место выглядит безопасно, вход по кодам и ключам. 1. Мебель выглядит очень старой, особенно кровать. А когда ходишь по полу, то все вокруг трясется)
- Solaine (6/5): Buona struttura, peccato per l’odore di fumo - La struttura si trova in una posizione ideale, vicina al centro e ai vari punti più interessanti di Firenze. Ha tutto quello che serve per un soggiorno breve. Il personale è gentile e disponibile. Di notte è abbastanza tranquillo. Il problema principale che abbiamo riscontrato è il fortissimo odore di fumo che impregna tutta la stanza. Nonostante la stanza fosse data come "non fumatori". Anche aprendo le finestre l'aria rimane irrespirabile, fa puzzare capelli e vestiti. Peccato perché ha potenziale.
- Rika (10/5): exceptional - the staff there was very friendly - from check in to check out, greeting us every morning with a smile, and he even gave us a map of florence and the must visit places :) nil
- Olivier (9/5): -
- Larry (8/5): A great clean, quiet place to rest up after a long journey - Great location, excellent very nice and helpful, friendly host, easy access and communication, quiet and generally very clean room. (a little black mold in bathroom, which appears common in most places) but still much cleaner than most other places we’ve stayed).

- Crescenzo (5/5): -
- Constanza (10/5): limpio, buen servicio, muy buena ubicación - El personal es muy amigable desde antes de la llegada nos facilitaron un early check in, la ubicación es increiblemente buena y los cuartos son limpios y comodos. Nos trataron muy bien y fueron muy amables durante toda la estancia, el baño no es muy grande pero cumple con su función.
- Chao (5/5): -
- GIL (8/5): - Tres bien place. Accueil avec une personne ça change tout.
- GAETANA (8/5): -
- Louna (8/5): -
- R (7/5): - La struttura calda, vicino alla Stazione dei treni, servita bene da attività commerciale e non lontana dal centro. Unico neo è stato il bagno in quanto era privo di bidet e la struttura della doccia in parte rovinata e al posto delle porte, una tenda che bloccava il defluire dell'acqua.
- Francesca (10/5): - La posizione è ottima, piccola cucina molto comoda.
- Serena (7/5): Il soggiorno è stato abbastanza confortevole. - Il personale è stato molto cortese, ci hanno anche permesso di tenere i bagagli oltre il check out e dato indicazioni su eventuali mostre da vedere in zona. Purtroppo la camera era sfornita di bidet e di aria condizionata e con l’attuale temperatura di Firenze è stato un po’ difficile.
- Amaya (9/5): - I really enjoyed my stay at Soggiorno Venere. The host was great, it is close to the train station and within walking distance to everything, and I will definitely stay here again. Everything was great, cleanliness, comfort, location and of course the host!

- Wilhelm (5/5): alles ok! - alles ok! zu weit weg vom Zentrum, kein Lift!
- Costa (6/5): -
- Luna (9/5): - Posizione perfetta
- Claudia (7/5): - Ottima posizione e gentile e disponibile il proprietario. Super la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli il giorno di partenza per riprenderli più tardi. Dalle foto ci aspettavamo di più e la vista (e l'odore - quartiere con ristoranti stranieri) lasciavano a desiderare. Si è però in centro a Firenze e alla fine è abbastanza accogliente per passare qualche giorno.
- Hüseyin Baran (9/5): -
- Jinhuai (7/5): - 地理位置很好,离中央火车站很近,坐火车去比萨也方便。房东人很好,有问题也及时解决了。 暖气不太足,水压较小
- Regina (10/5): - I like the communication. The place is cozy, it was clean. The location I loved it. And good quality for the price. Nothing to say.
- Jose Maria (10/5): -
- Veronika (8/5): - All good
- jose (8/5): -
- Marcos (9/5): - La ubicación Todo estuvo muy bien
- Rose (10/5): It was a great stay at Soggiorno Venere! - The host was lovely and very accommodating. The room was very spacious. It was very easy to get into the room using the codes. The bathroom was comfortable and the bed was comfy and big. It was great to have coffee provided as well. There was no milk for the coffee provided, which would have made it perfect. A little more provisions in the bathroom would have been great, eg. shampoo, conditioner.
- Yi-Hua (8/5): -
- Natalia (9/5): - Месторасположение Была грязная кружка..
- mantis (5/5): -
- Suzuki (9/5): -
- Lior (8/5): -
- Susan (8/5): -
- Timothé (9/5): -
- Xiao (4/5): - I don’t like the detached restroom. It’s not convenient to use restroom in the middle of night. The keys for restroom and the room were actually the same ones which could open both doors.
- Gennaro (8/5): -
- Somi (10/5): - The hotel has a great location and very easy to access and within walking distance to tourist attractions.
The host was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the stay very pleasant.
The room itself was clean, but quite small, and the facilities inside were old. Overall, it’s good . Grazie!
- Diego (10/5): Piacevole - Posizione ottima vicinissima alla stazione, al duomo. Zona fornita di tanti servizi. La struttura è nuova ed personale molto gentile e disponibile.
- Dini (8/5): - It is close to the naples central and convenient. however, the area did not look very safe as there's a lot of people crowded /hanged out downstairs outside the building. Maybe that's because we arrived late, after 7. But the interior of the hotel/room is good and clean.
- Tobias (9/5): Comfortable and right in the heart of the city - There was no breakfast
- Kurt (7/5): Affordable, no-frills guestroom in a quiet location - Good value for the price. Private, quiet quarters - we had a room with its own bathroom facilities, but there are also other rooms available that share a common bathroom. The host was gracious and showed us to our room, and then left us to our own devices. Few frills, everything worked fine, no complaints. The rooms were on an upper floor and there’s no elevator - not a huge problem, but noticeable after hiking all over the city.
Just something to be aware of - the view out of our window was into a neighborhood, and right over someone’s balcony. We were there on the weekend and they were out on the balcony for a cigarette and/or drinks with friends a couple times when we were there, so you might feel like you’re right on top of someone else. But it wasn’t an issue.
- Hanke (10/5): Exceptional - Great location near to Florence train station and within walking distance to most of the points of interest.
- Viktoriia (9/5): Central located for quite sleeping and going sightseeing on foot - It is lovely guest house with private bathroom. Very clean, comfortable beds and pillows. It is very quite, there is no any noise. There is pot in the room for tea or coffee. There is fridge and microwave in the hall area.
There is 5 minutes on foot to big market with food court, where you can have the breakfast, less as 10 minutes to Duomo, 5 minutes to central railway station or tram stop to airport. A lot of sightseeings are available easy by walking.
The host Najat is very friendly.
It is a nice value of money, if you need not luxury. For this price everything is ok.
- Michael (6/5): Functional accommodation in city centre - Not so much a hotel - it's rented rooms on the top floor of an older style traditional property. Basic, but clean and functional, although the bathroom was small and rather tired. Useful communal fridge and microwave. Short easy walk to both railway station and historic city centre. Proprietor was pleasant and flexible about check in time to suit our train's arrival.
- Gail (7/5): All about the location here. - Great location no question.
Staff friendly and helpful although didn't need them really. Good communication.
On 2nd floor of building so stairs only which was fine for us.
Quite dated - not quite as nice looking as expected from photos but ok and clean.
Bed was very comfortable. Did find it quite noisy - building occupied by many different people. Walls quite thin. Not fault of host.
Kitchen small but ample. No kettle.
Bathroom very small and old. Shower wasn't great but did the job.
Overall a good stay.
Requested cash for tourist tax.
- Ronak (5/5): Passable -
- Vanessa (4/5): Não ficaria novamente! - Fomos muito bem recebidos, a equipe foi super atenciosa e prestativa, o que nos deixou bastante confortáveis durante a nossa estadia. No entanto, infelizmente, tivemos alguns problemas com o quarto. O chuveiro foi um grande inconveniente, pois em um dia não tinha água e no outro, quando havia, estava fria. Além disso, a cama me causou uma reação alérgica inesperada. Não sei se foi o produto de limpeza ou algum tipo de material da cama, mas passei a noite tossindo e não consegui dormir bem. Fiquei triste em relatar isso, pois a hospitalidade foi ótima, mas esses problemas afetaram muito a nossa experiência. Espero que possam revisar esses pontos para melhorar a qualidade da estadia dos próximos hóspedes.
- Hanshi (9/5): We had a very pleasant stay. - Very convenient location to the train station, flexibility of check-in and check-out, friendliness of the staff, plenty of storage space, and cleanness. Need of more frequent changing of towels and beddings, and need of a well functional shower head.
- Charles-Antoine (10/5): - Les propriétaires ont été très accommodants et avenants. L’emplacement est idéal pour un séjour à Florence.
- Meelan (8/5): Clean, spacious, but very minimalistic - Clean, minimal stay in Florence Italy. Close to Florence Central Market, Cathedral, and other tourist spots. Run by a friendly and helpful couple. One downside is that there is no reception desk, so checkin can be challenging, especially if you arrive after business hours and don’t have internet access on your phone.
- Jan (8/5): Great location, large room with two windows, providing lot's of natural light! - The water pressure in the shower, but this seams to be a general problem in Florence....
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (7/5): Good -
- Heather (8/5): Very good -
- Kimberly (9/5): Would recommend - Good location, easy walking distance to the historic center. Beds were comfortable. Pleasant host. Luggage storage available for period between check out and train departure. Shower pressure could have been better. The water the water, the worse it for.
- Liu (9/5): Definitely recommended. If I shall come to Florence once again, this place would still be my choice - Good location, just near the train station, and not far away from most of the scenic spots.
Thanks to the hospitality of the hostess, I had a wonderful stay in Florence. If you have any problem, Najat could give you the advice. The WiFi was not so good.
There was no air-conditioner, but it's okay in September.
- Mariam (10/5): Best stay not just in florence but in all italy - THE BEST HOST IN ITALY! I had the best time there, the view was super nice, it’s 10 mins walking from the central train station and walking distance to all the attractions in florence
The host was super helpful and she offered me coffee in the morning and helped me alot. Would definitely recommend this place
- Sergiu (9/5): The price/quality ratio was very good. If you're looking just for a place to sleep/bathe, this is it - Location was close to most important tourist attractions, so one could easily reach them by foot. The host was amiable, room was clean, towels changed in a timely fashion, all in all as advertised. Overall good price/quality ratio.
If you are looking for a place to sleep/bathe, nothing fancy, then this is your pick. The bed could have been more comfy. The socket for charging the phones was weirdly placed; could be more useful if you'd have it next to the bed.
- Clayton (6/5): This was a good value. But came with negatives. Twice we had people try to enter as we exited - Location is good. Little host attention. Sketchy neighborhood. No A/C. Difficult, dangerous stairs.
- Louise (7/5): Good - Lovely friendly host. The room is big with a kitchenette which we didn't use but could be handy for others. Large comfy bed, could do with an extra pillow. The location is great, 5 min walk from some amazing restaurants and the train station. Overall we had a wonderful visit to Florence and we knew we weren't spending much time in the room so went basic, if you aren't after luxury this is the place for you Very basic but we expected that, annoying shower curtain and weird shower pressure but was hot so did the job. It was an old building so no sound proofing, we could hear people walking up the corridor and doors opening and closing but again we weren't expecting the ritz. Its up 3 flights of stairs so be aware if you have lots of luggage or are disabled.
- Ds (9/5): Superb -
- M (10/5): It exceeded my expectations - The location is perfect, close to the train station and many places of interest in Florence. The room was simple but very comfortable, very clean and furnished with good taste. In the room there was also a kettle to boil water and instant coffee + tea bags. A special thanks goes to the hostess very friendly and gentle.
- Maka (7/5): Good - good location, with pleasant host. Lovely italian street from window, close to everything. Wifi connection was a little bit poor
- Krasen (9/5): Superb -
- Xhensila (10/5): Amazing - Everything was perfect. The madam location warm and clean
- Sherine (9/5): Apart from the stairs…its a great place - It is such a cozy room with the most perfect location, around 8 mins walk from the duomo.
The host is incredibly sweet and helpful, would definitely book again if in florence The stairs oh the stairs!! It is located on the second floor in a very old building, the stairs are very steep and it is an absolute with luggage! Luckily a sweet neighbor helped us with the suitcases, each weighting 25 kilos!
- Ylenia (5/5): Central room in Firenze - Extremely central location, with close proximity to the main train station as well.
The check-in process has been quite straightforward and communication very smooth. This isn't meant to be a negative comment, but rather a suggestion.
The lack of mosquito nets made me keep the windows closed, and as a result, the room became quite warm.
It was only after some time that I discovered a fan, which allowed me to sleep comfortably.
- Konstantin (8/5): Short stay to visit Florence. - Hotel has a brilliant location - less than ten minutes walk from train station.
The owner was very friendly and provided all necessary Information about the room and gave us a map with sightseeings about Florence. The room was quite spacious. It had also additional bed for one and sofa bed, 4 person can easily fit there. The external bathroom was little bit far from the room. Waking up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night was not that comfortable. And also there's a lot of noise from the outside cafe/restaurant located in the ground floor. Big fan we had in the room is also not easy to adjust the proper speed.
- Brenda (9/5): Excellent location, clean and friendly hostess. - Great location for public transport and sights! USA 3rd floor and was steep steps for older party- shower was a drizzle, half pressure
- Aurélie (8/5): Very good -
- Zviad (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location - 15 minutes walk from central train station. In the heart of city. A lot of cafes and grocery around. Not noisy surrounding.
Staff is friendly and responsive (special thanks for care!).
Room was clean and tidy, everything works, wifi is good, bathroom and towels in good condition, comfortable beds.
Highly reommended for qouples or small family - you will enjoy hospitality of staff and manager!
Would like to stay again in Soggiorno Venere! No negative observations.
- Ahmed (9/5): Superb - The Moroccan receptionist wow and professional
- Atsumi (7/5): Good - • location
•price •bathroom is little bit small
- Anne (1/5): Dismal , no ac , too hot to sleep - Nothing It was a hostel with a shared entrance which was left open by everyone, so staff on the premises and no security
- Ashok (8/5): Very good place and location. - The location was excellent, walking distance from the city center. Also close to tram station. The hostess was very helpful, had easy late check in. The ac was not working well, but the hostess arranged a fan, and it was good.
- Kuini (5/5): Passable - The lady was friendly and tried to be helpful. There is no elevator so you'll need to carry your luggage up 5 or 6 flights of stairs, the apartments are up on the 3rd floor so be prepared for that. Although the room was clean, I suggest that you clean the blankets too that were in the closet, those ones didn't smell clean when we used them. Also suggest to have "do not disturb" signs so the host doesn't just open the door while guests are in their rooms, or please try knocking on the door first! The location is central and walking distance to the sights and main train station, otherwise this is a very basic place. Also, the metal headboard is annoying, maybe you need to glue it or drill it to the wall as it makes so much noise. The matress topper is also uneven so sleep was uncomfortable most nights.
- Anonymous (2/5): Florence was overrun with tourists and this place made the stay not more pleasant! - the room had two beds. It was basically a hostel, just our room had a bathroom. However, the shower had the wirst water pressure, the showerhead just trickled water. Also, this place advertised parking when I booked months in advance, but when I asked the host about it, she would never get back to me. You can’t enter Florence without a code from your hotel and since Soggiorno Venere is not a hotel, they can’t give you a code for parking. they have since removed that comment on booking.com, but it’s still up on others like TripAdvisor. The host is terribly unreliable, she was late for check in and was not available to other people who were wondering the stairway because they couldn’t work the code to open the door. she just said, it’s not my problem. This establishment is NOT worth the money they charge!! also, the advertised breakfast is a kettle and some Nescafé packets.
- Pat (8/5): Very good -
- Jenny (8/5): Very good - The location was very central and good for wandering Florence, the host was lovely and very friendly and welcoming - answered any questions we had and made it a great stay in Florence. It was decent value for money too.
- Nataliya (9/5): I would highly recommend this hotel for future travellers, and I will definitely come back myself. - The host was super supportive - excellent level of communication -before, during, and even after my stay. She allowed me to arrive outside the check in time, making sure that I am happy and comfortable.
She also allowed me to keep my luggage in the hotel for some time after check out. She speaks several languages and her English is superb.
The cleanliness of the room was at the highest standard -cleaning and towel change every day.
I would like to highlight the best thing about this hotel - a close proximity to all city attractions. It is not about not liking - it is just for future guests to be aware - they need to think about mosquito protection. There were just a few at the time of my stay but it could make a night sleep very uncomfortable.
- Shlyapa (10/5): Exceptional - We would like to thank the owner of the apartment for the excellent service and responsiveness. She was constantly on WhatsApp, showing maximum warmth and care. The apartment is located near the center, train station and market. There is a full range of utilities, daily cleaning. We highly recommend everyone to stay with her.
