We recently stayed two nights each in the “classic city view” and “superior city view” rooms on our way into and out of Florence. Getting there from the airport was a breeze. Surface tram to a short walk into town. I think a cab would have been more of a problem. A car of your own, a nightmare. We arranged late check in which was flawless. The staff communicated very well and the system they used worked well. The rooms are adequate. Well cleaned but I’ll say maintenance must be tough in these old buildings. It was well worn. In the Superior room, the sheets were clean but the bed cover had old stains and was “past its respectable life”. Both rooms had instant coffee and an electric kettle. The superior had a small fridge. NO AC but a fan and an open window were fine the end of September October. Bathrooms in the rooms were clean water hot and plentiful. Shower heads were a bit past their life sort of sputtering water out. The toilet in the superior room was temperamental. There was actually a hand written sign saying hold the button down for a while. It worked more than not. Again, location!!!! You could pay a lot more but this location was great for the historical down town, museums, cafes, we literally walked everywhere. There was a cafe downstairs from our windows that were active until easily 11pm. Much quieter if you can close the window. So, if a little deferred maintenance is something you find charming this is a gem.

Great location in old town core. Older building two flights of stairs to rooms. No AC, but a fan in the room and nice window for ventilation. We went late September with day time temps at 80 but were comfortable. Helpful front desk staff during hours. We had an after hours check in but were informed the day prior about how to get in and it worked flawlessly.

I highly recommend this property to the solo traveler that just wants the bare minimum. Though no AC the fan was perfect, the staff was friendly and informative and got a decent work out climbing all the stairs.

Air conditioner would be necessary in summer time.

Room smelled bad and was warmer than outside. Not possible to cool down the room or air out the smell. Only spent two days in this hotel before we had to book a new hotel.

A great location!

This should not be called a hotel it is a Hostal, they should emphasize that stairs are narrow and carrying big luggage to the 3rd floor is very difficult. Bathroom is seperated from the room. Not recommended for family. It is not a Hotel.

During my first night, the electricity was cut off. It is dirty and looks very old. Too overpriced!
