Seamless check-in-and-out process. Distance to the city center is very walkable.
The bathroom has a bit of an odd smell, though. I have to turn on the vent and let it run for a minute or so before entering. There’s some streets outside where I smell the same thing. Wonder if it’s the pipes or something.
Staff were wonderful and friendly. Water available as well as a fridge to store things. Room was very clean and comfortable.

Quiet rooms. Short walk from train station, short walk to the marketplace & most major attractions. If you arrive after 6pm, make sure you let them know so they can send you arrival instructions. The place doesn’t have a front desk or check-in area. Free coffee in the morning.
The property had terrible beds, poor mattresses, and the bed frames kept moving. We asked for an extra blanket that we never received. The showerhead kept falling, making it uncomfortable to take showers. We were charged 4 euros per night per person, as if it were a 5-star hotel. The cleaning staff made a lot of noise early in the morning.
Good things: The location is somewhat convenient.
To make a big bed, they joined two small ones, but they kept separating and moving during the night, so it was difficult to sleep with my girlfriend.
The overall stay was good. I was disappointed there was no lift. I'm somewhat physically challenged and walking 4 flights of stairs was a bit tough.
Overall, the property served my needs.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
This property is horrible. When you get inside the place it smells like urine. Its an apartment like a house. Is it not a real hotel.
Stank of sewage in the bathroom. Toilet paper never restocked. Very noising with people checking in at 11pm and allowing their kids to run up and down the hall.

Positives - great location, decent sized room, fridge inc water for all kept in fridge, tea and coffee with kettle in common area you are in when you enter. Large table in this area to eat at if you wish. Bed and pillows v comfy. Brilliant location and very informative instructions how to gain entry to the hotel sent in advance. Our room was available at midday when we arrived to drop our bags so we were happy we could check straight in. We were also able to leave our bags following check out.
Negatives - Cleaning staff enter the property early and do not try to stay quiet. Unfortunately we were also next to the office and due to the age of the building the lock woke us each morning at 7.30. It was hard to air the room following having a shower. If you’re an early bird then most of these things are unlikely to bother you. It would have been nice if milk had been provided to have with teas & coffees.
Definitivamente no debería llamarse hotel. Si bien las instrucciones para acceder el "hotel" fueron claras, y el personal amable, las condiciones del lugar y la habitación dejan mucho que decir. Son casi tres pisos de escaleras (no 2) para llegar al lugar (tenganlo en consideración si llevan maletas grandes-nosotros solo cargamos carry-on). Cuando llegamos al cuarto, el piso estaba sucio y el comforter manchado. Nos lo cambiaron por otro limpio que también estaba manchado. El A/C no enfriaba la habitación, sino que la refrescaba y cada cierto tiempo se apagaba solo y dejaba de soplar (como si el compresor tumbara). Lo informamos y al otro día lo iban a verificar, pero honestamente siguió igual. No todos los huéspedes son considerados, y 2 noches consecutivas, luego de medianoche, estaban gritando, tirando puertas y escuchando música en volumen alto. Las paredes son como papel, así que todo se escucha, hasta la alarma del que esté en la habitación de al lado. No hay personal del hotel en la noche, así que no se puede hacer nada. La cama incómoda, las almohadas flat. Ciertas áreas de la ducha con moho. En fin, no gasten su dinerito (porque tampoco es tan económico) para estar incómodos y no poder descansar luego de estar todo el día explorando la ciudad. Primera y última vez.
Personalen var väldigt hjälpsamma när toalettbelysningen gick sönder. Löste problemet inom någon timme. Fanns kylskåp som man hade tillgång till. Centralt. Inget att klaga på.
No esperes un hotel grande y lujoso, es magnífico para una estancia corta en Florencia, muy seguro y cómodo, limpio y tranquilo, las instalaciones son buenas y no son viejas, y tiene un estilo propio. agradezco a la chica que me atendió, muy amable desde el principio hasta el final. Me encantó Florencia!
