Our stay at this hotel was very nice. the staff was helpful and the sheets were clean. The bathroom was a bit cramped, but other than that we had no problems at all.

A bit austere, but perfect for a cheap place to stay, and has all of the basic amenities. About 10 minutes walk to Duomo, fairly convenient to most attractions, and what isn't nearby you can take a bus to. Perfect if you don't want a hostel environment, especially if you aren't in the under 30s...

This hotel is OK especially breakfast. However, I do not like bathroom. We stayed in twin bedroom with bathroom inside. The room is OK but the bathroom is too small and very old. There are air condition but it can not work. Nevertheless, the weather is not too hot so it is still OK. The location...

The Hostel isn’t new, or romantic, or in the Duomo. But you get clean sheets, key for the door, a great breakfast, not far from the center, and the best price!!!

Otherwise, it was all thumbs up, The continental breakfast was brilliant, the service was excellent. The staff allowed us to watch the Euro finals with them. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Florence on a budget.close

Hello everyone, this place is good but the location is far away to the center (25 min walking) and the cleanliness it's sou sou (mas o menos).

It's an excellent value for your money. The staff is very polite and friendly, rooms are cleaned every day, and breakfast (included) is modest but quite satisfactory for those who are not accustomed to fill their stomachs full in the morning. And you only need circa 15 minutes to walk to the Dome from the hotel.close

This was a hotel not a hostel, so character is lacking. It is also somewhat far from the Douma and train station (although you don't actually have to take a bus). But, it was clean and inexpensive. Our group had our own ensuite room which was a nice break from large hostel rooms! The...

The second floor does not look a safe place to stay, look only for the rooms which are in the same floor of the reception.

Nice place, a bit out of the way from the "sights" but easily accessible. Good neighborhood, quiet. Friendly staff. Shower takes a bit to warm up.

Pleasant family hotel, always kind and helpful. Sympa to difficulties with forward planning (French rail strike) and possible change of room. Breakfast OK but why such awful coffee in Italy of all places? Would definitely stay there again.

A little dingy, but overall a good deal. Much cheaper than other hotels that are not much nicer. Kinda a far walk from the center of town, but nice staff and decent breakfast (for Italy :).

10 minutes from the duomo, kind of dingy, nice and helpful staff. The breakfast is basically bread and coffee and juice -- a bit of a letdown. Overall, it was fine for someone on a tight budget.
