- Laura (7/5): -
- Monica (9/5): -
- Salvatore (9/5): -
- Kellie (7/5): A good and convenient place to stay with super friendly staff - Easy to find and a walkable distance to main attractions, train and restaurant. Very small room.
- Guest (8/5): Florence stole my heart. I’ll be back. - Tight in the middle of Florence, and restaurants literally across the road. Sound proof windows meant it was great for sleep anytime. The room was a little small.
- Eleanor (6/5): It was okay but won’t stay again. Bed was comfy - It was okay, but wouldn’t recommend to a friend. Bed was comfy. Location wasn’t the best. Room & bathroom was very small - luckily we were only there for 2 nights. Air con was very temperamental. Greeted with a very unpleasant smell every time we entered the building.
Reception isn’t really a reception. For the price I payed I wish I booked something else.
- laura (9/5): Buena ubicación cómoda habitación - La ubicación es muy buena
Está en una zona tranquila Lo único que eche a faltar es una mesita de noche en la. habitación de que me toco
También el patio estaba unido y bien privatizado lo malo fue cuando el otro inquilino fumaba entraba el olor a la habitación
- Floriane (9/5): - Très bon emplacement, proche gare et centre ville. Personnel très sympathique. Bon petit déjeuner servi dans la chambre. Possibilité de laisser ses bagages. La clim fonctionnait mal, c’est le seul bémol de notre séjour.
- David (8/5): - Cama confortável, limpeza do quarto, pequeno almoço aceitável! Nada a apontar!
- Kirsty (10/5): A beautiful room, with an amazing shower in an excellent location. - Beautiful bathroom with open shower, spacious bedroom and comfortable bed. Excellent location to explore Florence - close enough to everything, yet in a quiet area. Responsive and helpful staff. Nothing, we liked everything and would definitely stay again.
- André (8/5): Bom custo/beneficio. - Localização muito boa, Wi-Fi funciona muito bem e o atendimento antes e durante a acomodação é bem atencioso. Para a proposta de um B&B, atende o propósito. Talvez o único detalhe é que o quarto pequeno dificulta a disposição das malas e organização.
- Nicolás (9/5): Hotel con encanto perfectamente equipado con estupenda ubicación. - Fundamentalmente la ubicación y la limpieza. La mampara de la ducha pierde agua.
- Dalip (8/5): -
- Carmen (10/5): very friendly staff , comfortable room - very central , great location everything was great
- Magni (7/5): -
- Stefanie (9/5): - Der Inhaber Daniele ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Tolle Lage, die Sehenswürdigkeiten sind bequem und in kurzer Zeit zu Fuß zu erreichen.
- Alvaro (8/5): Very good -
- Renee (9/5): Enjoyed every minute of staying there! - Bed comfortable. Room very large.
- Dorina (9/5): Superb -
- Carla (6/5): Cozy space. - The person who prepares the breakfast.
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely room, very close to train station and a short walk to central attractions. Very clean and very helpful/friendly staff. We were allowed to leave bags on the last day until we were ready to go to station and this was at no extra cost.
- Catalina (9/5): Superb -
- Junel (9/5): It was a wonderful overnight stay - Breakfast was great. Very close to train station No shampoo/soap holder inside the bathroom.
- Marion (9/5): Superb - The staff was really lovely and kind. Great places for breakfast around and great location
- Diana (5/5): The price does not reflect the quality - The location was good, close to the sights and to the train station. The lady who greeted us was kind. The room was not clean, it was tidy but not clean. I have never seen a floor this dirty in my life, like it was not vacuumed in a long time. The room was also very small, it looks larger in photos and I see this comment in other reviews as well. Also, the AC stopped working on the second night. The rooms are at ground level, ours was on the street so you need to have blinds closed as everyone passing by can see in your room. This price of this accommodation did not reflect the quality, it is only priced this high because it is in Florence.
- Марія (4/5): Bed and breakfast as it’s spesified in the name, nothing more - Location great close to the railway station and city center. This place can work only for sleeping and getting a quick breakfast in the morning. It seems that price is too high for the smallest room we stayed in.
There were no slippers as it was on the photos and toilet paper was also in much lower quality (it was grey, but on photos it’s white).
There was not enough space to move around the room for two people.
Air conditioning wasn’t working well, toilet tank also wasn’t working well every time, the water continued flowing sometime and didn’t stop.
Very limited space for storing our belongings.
No shelf in the shower.
Quite limited breakfast, it included hot toast, croissant, hot milk, coffee, juice, yogurt and some snacks and jams. For us, we’d like to get some additional protein, like scrambled eggs, for example.
Window from our room led to the road right next to it. Also there are two entrances that create lots of noise (1 is entrance to the building itself and another to the guest house). We heard doors slapping since the early morning till the late night.
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sarah (10/5): Really lovely apartment, great location. Just a few minutes walk from the train station and centre of Florence. Great ai - Great location to the train station and slept so well - really quiet location and quiet building ! Nothing - it was exactly as I expected.
- Michele (10/5): Everything we wanted for a stay in Florence. Want to say a big thank u to everyone for arranging the early breakfasts wh - Brilliant location with only a 10 minute walk to the cathedral and 2 minutes from the tram stop. Everything very clean and staff very accommodating even arranging an early breakfast for us on 2 days as we had trips. Breakfast was great with a good continental selection and fresh coffee. Nothing
- Pornpan (9/5): We stayed there for 3 nights and had early check out. The place was nice and clean and very convenient to travel around. - Great location very convenient close to trains and public transport. The host is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very good. Bathroom is great with strong hot shower. The room is very nice and clean. New bath towels will be replaced every 3 days. There is no where in the room to dry our wet towels. Also no daily room service and no toilet paper was provided daily. We had to help ourselves from their storage.
- Peter (10/5): Recommended - Close to the station in a quiet part of town within 10minute walk to all that Florence has to offer. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The room was clean, spacious with all the amenities you could need for a city stay. Instructions on arrival were clear and breakfast served each morning was amazing. Would highly recommend. Nothing.
- Barbara (8/5): I would stay here again - Cute, cozy Too many mirrors and less than orivate shower in our room
- Cioly (6/5): If you only need to sleep is a perfect place. Nothing else. - Bed very good and comfortable, fantastic pillows. Very clean and new bathroom. Very noisy (room 1 right next to the door, to hear all the interior noise, and window directly to the street, very noisy)
Breakfast system is absolutely uncomfortable: need to fill a paper, give a specific time, you have to eat inside the room and complicated logistics.
I left the sign in the door not to clean the room and they did it anyway and my shower cap disappear and it was the only one I had.
- Guillaume (8/5): Very good -
- Colin (9/5): A very comfortable stay! - Very quiet at night. Bed very comfotable. Great nights sleep. Spacious room well kitted out. Superb internet. Very clean. Staff very friendly. Good check in instructions. Good bathroom. Great family restaurant directly across the street. Loads of restaraunts and cafes near by. The traib station is 5 minutes walk. Everything you want really! We were uncertain how to open the door onto the patio. There was a small blue light beside switches near the patio door which we did not know what this was for. Perhaps some explanation would help guests?
- Guy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wisam (8/5): Very good - Good location nice room The room was very small
- Nathalie (9/5): Perfect location for restful city break - Amazing location, lovely and clean, so close to so many fantastic restaurants. Very quiet.
- Nathalie (9/5): Superb -
- Lukan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sefton (9/5): Smaller room but practical, clean and a pleasant place to stay. - We booked this accommodation at the last minute due to a train strike. Close to station, easy self check in and close to restaurants. Clean and quiet even though there is a restaurant across the road.
- Julie (8/5): Great place. Cute - Close to train and easy to get to the centres
Good breakfast served to our room
Nice striates outside. Kitchen server was just outside our door and noisy by 0730 for 0830 breakfast
- Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Am (6/5): Pleasant -
- Patricia (7/5): Clean, comfortable, close to public transportation. - Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable, we had good space to move around and unpack our suit cases in the deluxe room, very close to public transport and a 12 minute walk to the heart of the historic district. For the 5 days we were there , we were never replenished on the initial 2 water bottles or the two packets of instant coffee. We did ask about the coffee and water and were told we would need to pay extra for it after the first day. They have a teapot, but no way to make regular coffee.
- Elle (8/5): Very pleasant stay in Firenze, would book again without hesitation. - Fabulous location, so convenient to the station and everything is just close by. Restaurants, nail bars and hairdressers and convenient stores everywhere. The room was spacious and courtyard lovely. Super quiet room and full blackout curtains for peaceful sleeping. Staff were so lovely and very accommodating of our requests etc. Bathroom a bit tight to move in.
- James (7/5): It was adequate for a short stay. - Room was clean. Shower was clean. Close to amenities. Staff very courteous. Very small compact room, not a lot of space for cases etc.
- Nikki (8/5): Had a great time. - Great location. Room very small and entrance hall smelt of drains.
- Ellen (10/5): My stay was perfect in every way. comfortable, convenient, and exceeded all expectations! - The location was perfect ! close to local attractions yet in a peaceful area. The space was spotless and exactly as described, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The host was incredibly responsive and provided clear instructions, making check-in very easy ! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. There was nothing I would change. I would happily stay here again.
- Glenn (10/5): Firenze alone is wonderful, but to have such a room to return to at the end of the night was incredi - Three minute walk from train station, SAFE entry, clean, quiet and beautiful!!! All wonderful!!!
- Karin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tresa (8/5): Lovely small intimate room. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow to find hotel. Breakfast was lovely and beds - Great location
Breakfast was lovely and so nice to be brought to room Kept being woke up all through night with the main big door being opened and closed. People coming in and out of main door. Also wait con kicking in and starting up. Didn’t get a good sleep unfortunately due to this.
- James (7/5): Good - Very good location. Comfortable.
Owner made sure I had breakfast before I left as I had to leave early every morning
Very pleasant lady gave me breakfast and cleaned the room. Too expensive for a B&B
The place needs refurbishing
- Maggie (5/5): Passable -
- Marion (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mike (6/5): Pleasant - Location - close to station, restaurants, and attractions. Small room (but we knew it would be)
- Coen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stuart (9/5): Great stay, neat and comfortable room - Good location, walking distance to all attractions. Clean and quiet area. Air conditioning was great and a good breakfast.
- Charlene (8/5): Very good -
- Danielle (7/5): Lovely little find, good price near to the train station. - The staff were very welcoming. We were close to the train station but about 15 minutes walk from the centre. Good shower! The room was small, we did have a double bed but there wasn’t much space to walk around the room when we were getting ready. No milk for a coffee.
- Natalia (10/5): It was good and comfortable - The ubicación and ambience The check in
- Caue (10/5): Exceptional -
- Spela (10/5): Exceptional - Big room with big terrace, close to the center. You get the breakfast in the room. We do recomend the B&b.
- Nunu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karen (7/5): Good - Location was good and within walking distance to the tourist attractions Room was quite small but clean, no towel change.
- Isabel (10/5): Wonderfull - All It was wonderfull
- Dora (8/5): Excellent location and wonderful service if you’re looking for accommodation in the central area. :) - The location was excellent, with just a 10-15 minute walk to Santa Maria del Fiore and a 5-minute walk to bike rentals, a laundry service, pharmacies, and supermarkets. The staff was friendly. The instructions for checking-in and out were clear and well-organized. The rooms were very clean. The only downside in our case was the size of the room - it felt a little crammed - and that we had only had a single roll of toilet paper provided per day. The toilet paper was only challenging because we were a couple, and used it for other purposes, such as cleaning make up and similar. So, we quickly ran out. This would be our only point for improvement. :)

- Joseph (8/5): Very good -
