mistake on reservation, okay room

I arrived around midnight due to flight delay. No one answered the door bell. I called and the security answered the phone. It turnes out they gave my room away. He thought those two asia ppl eho come in were me even on the paper he showed me, it had my name. The other two ppl's names were not the same as mine. But i guess asia names look similiar. He was kind to prepare a room smaller than what i booked. It was 1:30am, i didnt have a choice. Next day morning, i requested a refund of difference bwt what i booked and what i was given. The mgr just said it was hotels.com that made a mistake and sold me a room type that were sold out. Afterwards i called hotels.com, they said it was the hotel's mistake, and i should have called hotels.com when i had the problem. Hotels.com offered a coupon. But this was not a good experience.

Nice hotel with old world charm.

The hotel was delightful. If you are looking for flashy or modern it is not for you. But if you want old world charm, don't mind a room on the small side, then you are in for a treat. We had delightful little patio, which made the room seem bigger and more comfortable. Located in the heart of everything, in the perfect neighborhood with upscale shopping and affordabke markets nearby. Breakfast was good and staff very warm and helpful!

This hotel was close to all the major historical sites and was in a great neighbourhood. The room itself was quite large, but the bathroom was tiny. I wish they took a foot or 2 away from the room itself and extended the size of the bathroom.

Overall the hotel is fine. It has a friendly staff, clean, a nice breakfast, and in a very good location. However, the beds were stiff, the pillows flat, and for some reason no shower curtain to prevent water from getting all over the floor in the morining.

Great Location, good hotel.

Great place for accessing everything important in Florence. We could easily go back for a mid day rest, or drink on the patio. It is a simple place, nothing fancy. They will keep your luggage in the lounge (not locked up) if you check out but leave your luggage. Convenient and pretty safe since it is 2 floors up.Breakfast was standard. Staff was polite, but not overly friendly. I would stay there again.

Felt like a hostel room...Clogged plumbing!

Husband and I needed to stay 1 night in Florence for a wedding, and we chose this hotel as it was really close to where the Bridal party was staying, price seemed decent as the hotel is located on the very fancy Via Tornaubouni street. The room was small, had a bleach smell to it and had ABSOLUTELY NO OUTLETS to charge our electronics. We had to unplug the TV and mini fridge to have access to a plug. The bathroom looked like an airplane bathroom, the sink and shower would back up within a second of its use... and to top it off, the shower was covered in mold. UGH..make sure to use flip flops if you dare shower. Im surprised the breakfast was actually decent and included.. so thats why I'll give it a 2 versus 1 star.. It felt like a very expensive Hostel room...

An excellent hotel in Florence

We stayed in this hotel for three nights, and were very happy. The room was nice, reasonable size for Europe. Breakfast was very good. The breakfast room was a little small, but they managed the space really well. The location is excellent, and they have a terrace on the roof, where you can bring your own food and drink if you wish. I would stay there again, just for the terrace. It was really nice to sit up there, having a beer and relaxing. When we arrived, there was an issue with the elevator. I had carried our suitcases up two flights of stairs when the gentleman at the front desk realized what was happening, and he got the elevator working, and carried our bags up the final flight of stairs (see next para). Very friendly, excellent service. We were on the top floor, the elevator does not go to this floor. I wouldn`t recommend this floor for anyone with any type of mobility issues, but I think they may have put us up there (only a few rooms on that floor) after they saw us climb a couple of flights of stairs with our suitcases (i.e. we had no issues). Overall, very happy with this hotel and would recommend it to anyone.

Nice hotel

The elevator had a sign that said out of order, we had to walk 125 steps to our room each time. The bathroom in our room needs to be remodeled. It is too small and the whole bathroom is blue, the ceiling, floor and walls and the shower doors were broken. The breakfast was good. Nice choice. The lady taking care of the breakfast was very nice and helpful. We used the roof top deck which was very nice. The daytime lady at the front desk was not very pleasant or helpful but the front desk man at night was very nice.

Heart of Florence

lovely little hotel right in the heart of Florence. Very quaint. Nice people. Great Roof deck If you want to buy a bottle of wine & some food to eat while looking over the rooftops' Excellent supermarket/deli on the other side of Ponta Vechio to get some lovely things for this. Would definitely return to this hotel.

Wonderful Hotel

This hotel is perfect. It is only a few blocks from the train station and less than 2 blocks from the river so it is very convenient to get anywhere both day and night. The hotel staff are very friendly and accommodating and were able to help with everything including booking reservations to local museums and galleries. The bathroom is very nicely sized and the shower is great with good water pressure and temperature. The room even has a mini fridge if you were to buy any groceries, and the included breakfast was very tasty every morning. Including free wifi in the hotel rate made it perfect for relaxing and checking in with those at home before bed. The only drawback I had was that there was only one outlet in bedroom and it was by one side of the bed, so if you need to charge two things, one must charge in the bathroom.

Great location and great value

The hotel was in a great location (easy to get to from the train station) and a fair price. The carpet was a bit hard/thin and dirty but overall the room was very spacious. We were able to hear the neighboring club at night (so bring your ear plugs if you're staying on the weekends). The shower was very small as well

Scaffolding this summer

This summer, the hotel's front is covered in scaffolding and plastic sheeting so there was no view at all from the windows and the room was dark even with all lights on. That said, the breakfast was good, the hotel clean and efficient and there was a small lounge with a computer for guests to use. The hotel has a good location not far from Ponte Vecchio but overall no better than hotels at Piazza Santa Maria Novella nearer the railway and bus stations.

Loved the hotel! Remember your in Europe.

Remember this is a European hotel. Having said that you know to bring a european plug and that you don't get great conscieres. the people aren't friendly or very helpful, but thats not what we were looking for. We loved the location. right by shopping and near some beautiful piazzas. The only bad thing was that the first room they gave us was in the front of the hotel overlooking the street we stayed on. The problem was that the front of the building was under construction. so all we could see was scaffolding and all we could hear was noise in the am. So we asked to change rooms and we loved our 2nd room. Then we were very happy. better view too. the breakfast was perfect. remember your in europe. Coffee, cereals, fruit, cheese juice yogurt and bread. That's how they all are in all the cities we stayed in. Perfect for filling up before a long day of site seeing. The location was the BEST. I would stay here again because of it. Near many restuarants and not too far from everything we wanted to see. The PV bridge, Ufizi etc... Loved it. Remember to dress for the season. In April they still dress for winter even if its 75 degrees. Wearing flip flops and shorts is not what they do. unless you want to look like an american. Dress in dark colors and boots for sure. Enjoy!!!
