• Sara (9/5): Comfortable and great little room! - Really comfortable room and convenient location. Host is super nice and helpful. Could use a few more hooks on the wall. Street can be loud but it was really comfortable otherwise!

• Giuseppe (9/5): -
• Pablo (10/5): - Excelente ubicación!
• Jacopo (10/5): Soggiorno a casa - Struttura nuova, posizionata a due passi da Santa Croce e dai principali luoghi di riferimento. Simone è un ottimo host, gentilissimo e disponibile per le richieste dei clienti.

• Jessica (9/5): Great location and terrific staff - Location, staff, responsiveness, bed size Shower size, bathroom size I’m general
• John (7/5): - Nice location, right in the thick of it. Host was helpful. Room was clean. Nice room but there could be up to 3 other people in different rooms at same space. I did not know that going into this. Location is good, but can be loud with people at night(on weekends)
• mariela (9/5): - Excelente ubicación cerca de todo a pie .. comunicación con el anfitrión excelente , me estaba esperando para el Check in .. muy amable. Fácil y rápido para hacer el Check out . La habitación amplia , limpia y con todo lo necesario, hermosa decoración.. mismo que la habitación era de una cama de 1 plaza ( para una sola persona ) la cama era excelente. Nada , todo estuvo excelente!
• Duhamel (7/5): - Le logement est vraiment bien agancé. Il est confortable, et la décoration est vraiment originale. L'emplacement est vraiment proche de Santa croce, nous pouvons visiter florence à pied facilement Le seul problème est que nous sommes dans une rue très très bruyante, je pense qu'il y a un bar pas loin. A 2h du matin il y a encore beaucoup de bruit. Il est donc difficile de se reposer...

Juste un évier un frigo et un peu de vaisselle dans le hall commun Rue bruyante jusque tard dans la nuit . Logement mal insonorisé ++
• Silvia Monica (10/5): - Estaba a poca distancia de los lugares de interés. Y había a disposición un refrigerador y una jarra eléctrica, te y azúcar. En general todo muy bien.
• Amit (8/5): - Great location yet quite room Although the room was perfectly clean, the place has moskitos issue
• Cai (8/5): -
• Claudio (9/5): Pulito ed accogliente. - Pulizia
• Maxime (10/5): Parfait. - Petite maison d’hôte située en plein hyper-centre de Florence, à seulement quelques minutes à pied de tous les points d’interêts de la ville. Les chambres sont coquettes et fonctionnelles. On s’y sent vraiment à l’aise. Monsieur Biffi Simone est à saluer pour son professionnalisme, sa bienveillance et sa serviabilité. Mon séjour de 4 nuits à Florence a été grandiose, et c’est en grande partie grâce à la qualité de cet endroit dans lequel j’ai eu le plaisir de séjourner. Je recommande vivement !
• LIN (10/5): 十分完美 - 房东特别的热情，房间布置很温馨充满艺术感，地理位置很便利，旁边就有一家conad，距离百花大教堂步行可达。走的时候忘了一件物品在house，房东还帮忙寄到了罗马，十分感谢！ 无
• Svetlana (7/5): Могу рекомендовать только тем, кто не притязателен и сам отдыхает / гуляет до поздней ночи. Но я так была расстроена - Удобное место расположения, близко ко всем основным достопримечательностям. Хост был всегда на связи, предлагал помощь Запах химии! Пахло каким-то распылителем, спреем или освежителем воздуха, очень сложно было к нему привыкнуть, даже хотела переехать из-за этого. Приходилось открывать окна, чтобы проветривать. Также шумоизоляция была не очень. Дом находится в таком месте, что на улице гуляют допоздна и слышно все звуки. 2ю ночь спала в берушах:((
• Karin (10/5): - Ein geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Zimmer mitten in Florenz. Mit Strassengeräusche muss man bei der Lage rechnen und deshalb volle Punktzahl
• Aurora (9/5): -
• Emma (10/5): Truly amazing !!!! - Such an incredible stay! The place was spotless, and my room was beautifully decorated with stunning Renaissance artwork that made me feel completely immersed in Florence’s charm. The host was unbelievably kind, welcoming, and attentive. He was always happy to help with any questions I had, which made the experience feel so personal and comforting. The location couldn’t be better. It is right in the heart of the city, surrounded by so many landmarks, cafes, and shops. Staying at Santa Croce gave me the true Florence experience, and it honestly made my trip feel wholesome and unforgettable. I would recommend it a thousand times over and can’t wait to come back! The only thing is that the bed was a bit small, but given the size of the room, and since it was meant for one person, it made complete sense.
• Marcel (9/5): Erg prettig, leuke locatie en attente en vriendelijke gastheer - Erg aardige gastheer en super locatie -
• Athena (10/5): - nice host. nice room
• Lili (10/5): Comfortable - Everything was very clean and cozy. The room is great and the hosts very nice and helpful. The location is great too.
• Zhuolin (9/5): - Good location, close to a market and surrounded by many shops and restaurants . It was clean and comfortable. The fan in the bathroom was not working, so there was no way to ventilate it.
• stefano (9/5): -
• ZHIBIN (10/5): 有了家的感动 - 店主的热情，周道，与人为善。房间的布置，尤其喜欢屋内的照片，黑白照片，老照片，太有感觉了 没有
• Philipp (10/5): - Sehr kreative Gestaltung der Räume und super Lage sehr zentral alles zu Fuß erreichbar
• Matthew (10/5): -
• Claire (8/5): Very good - Very simple and easy check in process, you just had to let Biffi Simone know when you would be arriving. I got a little bit lost trying to find the right door but was able to send Biffi Simone a message and he met me downstairs. Had a small lift inside to assist with luggage. The room had everything you needed. A shelf was available in the fridge in the shared space which was helpful. I enjoy walking everywhere so it was a good location but also close to public transport options as well. I would recommend staying here.
• Alen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jana (10/5): - The room was clean, the checkin and the communication with the host was easy. I can only recommend.
• Beverly (9/5): Superb - Privacy in the room. Coffee and tea provided, refrigerator for guest use. Lots of noise from the street, no screens so if the window was open the mosquitos came in.
• Michele (8/5): Very good -
• Suzanne (7/5): Very reasonably priced and served my needs being close to a workshop location and not costing much! - Simone the host was very nice and helpful. Room could have a few more amenities like a lamp for easier reading and a sitting chair not a folding one!
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect room: clean and comfortable room in a quiet area, but closed to the Cathedral, Giotto’s Bell Tower, Baptistery and all other museums. Staff friendly and very welcoming. I suggest it! Nothing! Everything was perfect!
• Melanie (9/5): Superb -
• Jonathan (10/5): - Will visit again 10/10
• Denisha (10/5): - The overall room was great. The bathoom and bedroom were updated. Until about 12am, it is very noisy outside. Check in was fairly simple. The bed was extremely comfortable. The walls are thin. I definitely heard the conversation of a couple in the next room. Overall, its a great place to stay. Close enough to city center but not too close that you feel claustrophobic.
• Johns (8/5): Nice private hotel in a fabulous location. Had everything we needed. Shared fridge and kitchen/ironing facilities bu - Fabulous location A bit smaller than I’d hoped, but still okay
• Clara (10/5): Would really recommend this! - Jay was very kind and helpful, and everything was clean and comfortable. As a solo traveler I felt extremely safe!
• Lise (1/5): Disappointed - Location The owner wasn't helpful at all , we forgot luggage upstairs, the owner would not help us retrieve our belongings Even when I texted we are going to miss our train Made us fell stupid for leaving a bag behind Will never recommend
• Michelle1211 (10/5): Exceptional - Location is great! The only thing is bed, it is not that comfortable, but Ok
• Marie (10/5): - Our host Laura was very welcoming She shared information that made our stay in Florence so much easier The room in a beautiful palazzo was very nice , clean and comfortable. I would recommend highly for anyone visiting for a short stay. This location is close to everything
• Sylvana (8/5): Nice clean property and good location - Good location to major attractions all about a 10minute walk. Florence Centrale station about an 18min walk. There was a fantastic supermarket just a 2min walk away. The bed was single but super comfortable. Room was spacious and clean. There was a common shared kitchenette with shared fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and crockery to use if you had your own food. The host was very kind and helpful. The property had a lift, super useful if you have heavy luggage. The street at night was quite loud with people going out and the noise could go well into night.
• Monica (10/5): Everything was excellent! Super clean, great communication and the location was perfect! -
• Tarun (9/5): Superb -
• Brynlea (8/5): Very good -
• Yasemin (9/5): Superb -
• Rūtatravel (8/5): Very good - Great location and wonderful staff. The check-in and information were very clear and they accommodated my last minute booking with no hickups. The rooms are freshly renovated, but the decor is a bit much. I understand the hosts might have issues with people flushing things down the toilet, but the warning signs and threats of fines seemed a bit excessive in the bathroom.
• Amélie (10/5): Strongly recommended place ! - The location was perfect for me : close to the center but in a less touristic area with an easygoing atmosphere. The bed is comfortable ! The room is nicely decorated. You won’t be awaken by light in the morning. Also, the person who welcomed me is very friendly and took the time to help me on my last day when I had an issue. He really tried to help and stayed with me until I had a solution. So all in all, I can only strongly recommend this place where I felt really good in Florence ! /
• Lynkate (10/5): Great Host👍👍 - The host was very welcomeing & explained everything. He was so accommodating with my several time changes & all done peacefully. A great place to stay, for solo travellers 😁 Nothing, everything was perfect
• Xavier (8/5): Very good - the positive and helpful attitude, the location and the staff
• Mizrahi (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect
• Catherine (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, private and clean bathroom, comfy big bed, very friendly and helpful team
• Fernando (10/5): - The only things I would suggest to improve an already excellent place is a microwave oven and and a bigger waste basket for the shared kitchen.
• Farhan (9/5): Many thanks to Biffi who was there to welcome me at the property in the late hours and remained available on the phone&# - Very clean, well maintained and tastefully decorated as can be seen in the pictures. She neglected room and single bed seemed a bit initially but I said on found out that the room was actually just about big enough for single occupancy and the bed was quite comfortable.
• Nabil.abdelhaleem (7/5): Good -
• Jenny (10/5): - Chambre très propre et très bien decorée. Les indications claires aident chaque resident à bien s'y retrouver dans l'appartement. Le hôte est aussi très disponible si il y a des questions. L'emplacement est génial : une dizaine de minutes du centre pour visiter les grands monuments, et en même temps je trouve que c'est très sympa car il y a plus de restos locaux etc.
• Sm (8/5): Very good - Good location Not ideal for light sleepers
• Florencia (10/5): Beautiful - Clean, pretty decorated, the location was the thing that I liked the most Nothing
• Di (8/5): Pleasant stay. - Good location. No lights on the floor.
• Johann (10/5): Exceptional - very friendly and helpful host. best guesthouse in town, very comfortable room, top bathroom. +++ near the central city, by a 20 - 25 minutes walk you get to all sightseeing hotspots
• Anonymous (8/5): Great place! - The location was excellent for us. A 5 minute walk to the Kosher restaurants on one side and to all the ancient attractions on the other. It was extremely clean, which we appreciated. the owner was very accommodating and let us leave our luggage on our last day. Would definitely recommend this place to any observant Jewish traveler and anyone wanting to be close to piazza San Marco
• Elizabeth (8/5): my stay was very enjoyable, the weather was great for early October, close to Santa Croce - loved the close proximity - walking distance to the centre, the room was clean, Simone is hospitable the scarce availability of taxis
• Andrea (6/5): Pleasant - Beds were comfy. I did not notice the noise that other visitors complained about. You really need to replace your towels. They were so thin and worn. At my house they would be considered as rags. Also, wire hangers? So cheap and absolutely no one uses them any longer. Go buy some new ones. Make sure you download the app called “what’s up” as we had no idea how to get in touch with the owners when we arrived. They really need a better check in method. We stood outside ringing the button but soon realized there is no one there and had to go hang out at a cafe for an hour and a half.
• Espen (7/5): Great city to visit, and the accomodation cover all the basic needs for a home base. - It was a good area, close to the city center, to restauraunts and a really great market. Supermarked really close, and a good café( Jhon Borno) for those lovely morning espressos. The commomn area of the hostel was a bit small, and does not really open up for a social interaction in the accomodation, that can be god to know before you book.
• Chantalle (9/5): Great stay in a beautiful guest house with everything I needed. - I liked the overall look of the place and the location was great. Near the center of town and many food options. It could be loud outside at night on the weekends. But most of Florence was like this
• Azar (10/5): Exceptional - Great host, great location and a beautiful room.
• Tony (9/5): Superb - Good location and clean and quiet
• Gauthier (10/5): Excellent place in the heart of Florence - Very central, 5 min walk from Santa Croce and less than 10 min from piazza della signoria, the room was very functional and clean, very friendly owner, good price ratio, ac and television very good Nothing to complain! Just keep in mind (and as clearly specified in the ad of the property) this is a guesthouse, so you share the same common spaces (with 4/5 rooms) as the kitchen and entrance, the bathroom is private for each room!
• Maja (9/5): Superb -
• Trinhnhan (8/5): Good - Host attitude The bus to get this accomodation is small and not easy to get the bus from train station
• Oyu-erdene (9/5): Superb -
• Deborah (9/5): Clean, modern, comfortable - Clean, modern apartment style accommodation. Everything was so new and clean, and the bed was so comfortable. It was very quiet too, I slept very well. Biffi was a great host and checked in if there was anything needed. Also I liked the decor. A great stay :) The street wasn’t the best. It was only about 10 min from the centre which was great! The street that the accommodation is on though was very quiet and I didn’t feel the most safe walking on it. I would say otherwise it is an awesome stay, it shouldn’t bother you if you are a group/pair, just if you are a younger female solo traveller you may want to keep in mind
• Rmoliveras (10/5): Exceptional - The guest house was perfectly located and extremely clean
• Niki (10/5): Exceptional - The matress, the pillows, the kindness of the owner, the
• Jose (7/5): Good -
• Evelyn (1/5): filthy, bug ridden and disgusting. - the location was great On the first morning there we woke up to find several live bed bugs and a dead bed bug with a blood smear under the pillow. On checking the bed that evening, we found more bed bugs, hairs from very obviously other people, blood stains, other stains etc. We tried to report this and give the owner every opportunity to deal with it nicely, but his response was to send us other people’s reviews saying that the place was clean, and imply that we were at fault. To give him due credit he did provide us with new bed linen but after seeing the state of the mattress and mattress protector, as well as the level of dirt on things such as towels, we decided to find a new place to stay.
• Thomas (9/5): Great location! - Excellent location with 10 minute walks to anything you'd want to see. Rooms were clean, shower was pleasant, host was friendly, lift up to floor was useful. Overall a great stay at a great price. Also, the aircon in the room did its job during the high temps and kept us cool at night. There was also a shelf available to us on the fridge to keep.our drinks cold. My girlfriend never made the coffee once using the facilities provided to us.
• Kimberley (9/5): Superb - Very warm welcome from Andrea. Beautiful room with quirky decor. Great location, supermarket 2 mins away and a place for toiletries opposite. Large communal fridge, plenty of plug sockets, a TV, wi-fi and most importantly air-conditioning! Nothing!
• Gusta (6/5): Unfortunately tiring stay despite the nice room. - The room was big enough and clean, with good airco. 10 minutes walk from the Dom and 20 minutes from the train station. Very much night noise!! The windows are not soundproof so you can't get much sleep.
• Tal (8/5): Very good -
• Guillaume (9/5): One could hardly find a better place to stay if coming to Florence. - The place was very clean. The location is central near the very lively Sant'Ambrogio area, 5 min from Duomo and Santa Croce. The host was very nice and clear in his explanations. One small point though, rewrite the instruction in plain english. There was no particular negative point. Everything was nice. I don't know if there are bigger rooms for families or couples and the receptionist didn't answer this question when I asked.
