First, the pros. This property was very clean and nice, as well as being unique with it being set up like a fancy staff dorm at a prestigious university. It was close to the David and central Florence. Now the cons….the air conditioning did not work in our room, and it was 100 degrees outside and probably 85-90 in the room. We brought it up to the mgr, who came to check. It “appeared” to be on, but never sufficiently cooled the room. I had to sleep without covers and a cooling cloth I brought from the states draped over me to help with how hot I felt all night. It was terrible after a hot day walking around the city. The people next to us were also heard complaining about their A/C to the front desk. They didn’t appear too concerned with no apologies whatsoever. The man who checked us in was nice however, and showed us how the 4 keys worked to get us in our room. (The key to our room was like a key from Harry Potter. That was kind of neat.) Just don’t stay here in the summer, unless they fix their air conditioning, or if you don’t mind not having A/C.

We stayed in the Residence Johanna, rather than Hotel Bonifacio across the road. It was more like a hostel in an apartment with a shared common area and fridge with people coming and going late into the night (including other permanent residences in nearby apartments within the building). Staff were polite and the Italian breakfast (croissants, yoghurt, coffee) was quite good. However the bed was so hard and it was so loud with people going at night it was three nights of very poor sleep. I would not stay again.

Overall good and value for money. A good experience staying in an Italian setting. Breakfast offered is good, not at the premises but in a small hotel just outside the building. Staff is friendly and helpful. Only set back is their staff is there from 8.30am to about 6pm. If you have any queries you must wait till the next day to do it.

Great service, great location, clean, good breakfast. Luca was so helpful and recommended us restaurants and even suggested locations to see.
The room was a great size, clean and we had a cute little balcony. I prefer a softer bed but that’s just a personal preference.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

We loved staying here for our trip to Florence! We used it has a home base during a 6 night trip with two day trips during that time. The staff were incredible with recommendations and making reservations for us. Whenever we left early in the morning they prepared us a breakfast the night before and even did our laundry one day as we had more traveling to do after our stay in Florence. 20 minute walk to most attractions and about 17-18 minute to train station. Convenient location!

Homey and lovely. Each room had it’s own en-suite. Shared kitchen area for breakfast of meats, cheeses, boiled eggs, breads, fruits, juice, coffee, tea, milk, cereal, yogurt and sweet jams for toast. Air conditioning was powerful, hot water, lots of storage for clothes and luggage. Staff was welcoming and helpful. I would stay here again.

Luca is very friendly and helpful. He recommended some restaurants and places with map. The room is beautiful, clean, good light from window and spaceful. There are a table and chairs in room but we also can open 2 29" luggages and move. The air condition is very well in summer time. No fridge in the room. The breakfast is basic but enough. I recommend the hotel to stay.
