Property location is convenient, close to train station and down town of Florance. But I didn’t like to be disturbed every night by random people ring the room bell after 12:00 am and talking loudly in the hallway.

Had a great time at this apartment. Don’t understand the negative reviews, it’s exactly as advertised. Yes, it might be a bit dated and not a marble palace but for the price and location it was very enjoyable. The kitchenette is very useful! Super convenient near the main station and easy walk to all attractions. You are in a busy location so expect a bit of noise at peak hours but once that dies down it’s really peaceful. Some people say it’s not clean but I found it to be very clean on arrival, maybe it’s the tiles, the type of tile used does look dirty but I can assure you walking around in white socks they stayed white! You will need to let the owner know your arrival at least 24 hours prior and I advise you plan to arrive within the check in hours for an easier experience (and cheaper) as it’s not manned 24 hours (it’s a small business people, not the Ritz). The best bit was the bed in my room, can’t speak of other rooms but the bed was so comfortable that I wanted to take the mattress home 😂. No smoking inside but who still does that anyways? Go outside! The bathroom was fine, practical and clean in my case. Treat the place with respect and you won’t have any issues. My only bit of construct feedback would be if they can invest in new doona/duvet covers that would be nice and slightly bigger towels, and if ever possible to paint the green bits- I feel these small improvements would really enhance the experience more but like I said it’s excellent value for money.

It was near to center. All things are as shown in pic.

The staff was extremely helpful and kind. The location of the property was about 10 mins walk from the main centre which saved lot of our time.

As first hotel booking suddenly cancel due to redecorating, need change hotel before one week time. The hostel is abit old and air conditions is broke, but bath room is new and good. Just the mosquitoes are annoying.

The price was great and location was good. The furnishings were a bit dated.

Must make appointment after 3 p.m. to check-in. So early arrivals must check bags at the train station which is expensive.
Toilet seat did not fit the toilet and kept falling off. Had to wait until after 3 p.m. to talk with someone the next day. It was NEVER fixed. Called the following day to ask about repair and was told there were no seats to replace that one. Then the manager blamed us for breaking the seat. I explained it did not fit to begin with, which he would have known if he had even looked at it. He refused to do anything about it during our stay.
Outside is a lot of construction which seems to be the root of a terrible smell.
No cleaning nor change of towels during stay!!!!
3.4
The person checking us in was not friendly nor welcoming. We were just another foreign customer being checked and there was no reason to be friendly (perhaps the man only check in American language and did not want to encourage conversation with a smile). When we arrived we opened the window to observe the enclosed court yard. It was dark and un kept. We immediately shut the window, and never reopened it. We got bitten by mosquitoes every night. We either let them all in, the one time we opened the window or they were in the corridors and rooms at all times. The room was clean and beds were ok. The shower had no stall nor tub, it was a depression in the floor tile and bathroom would flood with water, after showers. Check out is immediately at 10. Keys are instructed to be left in a box before or by 10. Someone shows up in a hurry at 10 to retrieve the keys and inspect the room. We will not choose Gemini studios again.

Close to main station had courtyard room no noise from street.
3.4
Location is good, just around 10 minutes walk from the train station. Spacious and clean, good for 3 persons to stay. There has supermarket and a lot of restaurants near the train station. Easy to buy food to make your own breakfast or dine out.
If they can improve the washroom to have a close shower stall, it would be prefect. Right now the shower is with the toilet bowl together, after you take the shower the floor will get wet, if your slipper is the kind of one time use hotel slipper, when you use the toilet bowl later after the shower, you may get wet of your feet. Try to bring plastic slipper.
The other thing is it is not that sound proof, you can hear people speaking in next room. But this is the structure work, Gemini cannot do anything on it. Therefore, if you are a light sleeper, you have to aware this and may be considered to bring a pair of ear plug.
Other than that, everything is good and value for money.

Very soft bed, hotel location on main road without double glazing, green mark on wall. 10 minute walk to train station and 20 minute walk to centre
3.4
Firstly the walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors talking. Our room had a terrible smell much like an open sewer that we couldn’t get rid of. No point going to the office to ask for a different room because once we checked in the office worker promptly disappeared. There is no shower just a space between the toilet and bidet with a shower curtain around it. The hot water service is inside the bathroom which meant it’s like a smelly sauna if you don’t leave the extraction fan on. The iron in our room had exposed bare copper wiring on the lead so we decided not to use it! For the price we paid, we were very disappointed.
3.4
This place is a grotesque parody of an accommodation! The pictures uploaded have nothing to do with the reality. Neglected rooms, extremely small bathrooms, the windows covered with fabric cover like paper. Some of the nights resembled like a brothel!Do not use it at any cost.
3.4
Did not like the hotel at all. Not suitable for tourists.
3.4
This studio is close to train station, it is a nice and quite studio.
It has a small kitchen. If you are going with children you will save a lot! Small market are a block away outside the train station, buy pasta and cook. There is another market but 5 blocks away there, ask the receptionist.
If you are a couple and do not need to cook, at the corner you have a cafeteria $3.50 and around the corner you have a delicious restaurant, the Lady-Owner is super nice and the prices are great $8.00+.they have gelatto, too. If you are early for check-in, go there with your luggage and eat while waiting for the receptionist to open the studio.
They need to improve the air condition system but even of that, it was good.(They informed they will buy new ones).32C in July.
If you need a phone, the receptionist can help you to contact your tour. He is very helpful.

We very plesantly surprised by the large and well equipped apartment. Service and cleanliness is perhaps not top notch, but for the money we paid it was excellent

Staff was very rude (check in guy)

Comfortable, quiet and well located place near the central station and all the landmarks in this beautiful city.

Late check in fee is too expensive

Bedsheets and towels were not changed over multiple days. The plumbing was cheap plastic that just came apart when the sink was used. No phones on premises. TV provided but the electrical extension had a loose contact.
Seriously underpowered premises. Cant use the hotplate and a hair dryer sumultaneously. Likewise your spouse cant use the hairdryer if you want hot water for a bath.
Visitors are strictly advised not to adjust the central temperature controls, however temperature is not maintained. Gets very cokd at night and unpleasantly warm in the day.
The mattress and cot sagged so much, i fell off the bed once!
Nearest laundromat a km away.

Appreciated having a kitchen. AC unit including wall and surrounding floor were really moldy, which was a real problem for people with a mold allergy. Owner/manager needs to have a service clean out AC units and surrounding areas.

The hotel is somewhat clean, although expected for the price. The suites were quite spacious and had the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Internet was not working and other things such as the iron. The shower ran out of hot water after a two minute use.

Fridge was noisy at night trying to sleep,ants in room at window.

They ask to call them beforehand on the time of your check in, I send the e-mail and they wanted to me. The studio is spacious, there was no kettle but I was shown how to use a coffee machine to boil water for tea. WiFi workerd OK, even though it is needed to be connected anew any time the laptop is booted on. The neighbohood looks like safe enough.

Close to the train and bus stations, walking distance of the main attractions. the room was nice, with kitchen facilities, and no problems areas.

This is a studio with kitchen which might be attractive to some. On the plus side there is good hot water though the shower is not really differentiated from the rest of the room. Everything gets wet! The minuses include: horrible mold smell which did not abate with open windows, no one on duty except at 3 pm when someone arrives at the locked door to process your entry, and a door lock that did not really work unless you have the deftness of a safe cracker. And at night in the dark when the key refuses to allow entry there is NO ONE there to let you in.

I didn't expect too much but the room had a kitchen to cook. We shopped some goroceries and made foods by ourselves. Nice and good experience.
3.4
The suite was clean and comfortable but I found the bed to be too soft. The staff changed the bed sheets and towels every 3 days. The kitchen was nice and had everything you needed. There is no staff on site, so if you have any issues you would have to call the manager to get service.
The location is within 5 minute walking distance from the Train station and bus terminal and about 10 minute walk to the Duomo. There's a bus stop right across the street from the hotel.
Overall, the hotel was nice for the value and the kitchen saved us a lot of money on meals.
3.4
Close to bus stop but far from points of interest. Wifi signal is very weak.
3.4
Positive: Proximity to Central Railway Station Negatives: Many .. listing top few 1. Dark and dingy unclean room 2. Electricity Power would go off when you tried to use kitchennete at higher levels 3. TV not working 4. No one available to fix if something goes wrong nor was there any contact details given 5. DIshwasher was broken/taken apart 6. CHeckin time published was 3pm and no one available at the office at the appointed hour . when called the concerned person came with lot of grumpiness and displeasure of having been disturbed on an afternoon siesta. Obviously you should forget any support if you are a minute before 3pm or after 8pm No one should stay here unless has run out of options or is a bunch of guys just expecting a bed near station.. but then the price may be too high to pay These kind of places bring bad name to Italy and its hospitality . Definitely I am not even going to mention this place to my friends.. its too embarassing

If you are looking for a low cost no frills place to stay in Florence this will fit the bill. The room was clean. It comes with a kitchenette in the room which could be handy should you decide the fare of Tuscany to expensive. The bed however, is a fold out sofa bed. In fact the worst fold out bed known to man. You will sleep in an inverted position if you are in the room we had. The other big issue is the noise. From the street and other people in the building. We were awoken to the sound of drunken partiers every night we stayed. We were given two towels the day we checked in. This was the extent of the services provided. No clean towels, bed was never made, no maid services at all. As I said 0 frills. Luckily we had a half roll of TP .

During our recent 3 day stay, we walked everywhere in Florence. With fully equipped kitchen, we prepared our own breakfast in the morning to save time and money. One day we lost key, owner had to come very late to get us in. The studio is clean and spacious.

Gemini Studios appears to be longer-term accommodation that is let out short-term (off-peak season?).
The room was spacious and very clean. The price was excellent.
The expensive wifi was a huge drawback (the "free wifi" is actually in a corridor that leads to the outside, so it is freezing, the lights turn off automatically after a minute so it is dark, and there is nowhere to sit except a cold staircase. Also if it's raining, you have to carry your laptop from your room outside in the rain to the free wifi area).
There was no kettle in the room which seemed odd and made making tea difficult.
The hot water lasts about 2 minutes. When I mentioned this, was told there were other complaints, but luckily "summer lasts longer than winter in florence!"
