82%Hotel Bretagna  

Double bed with shared bathroom. Room was tiny and dirty. Bathroom was also very small and was almost always occupied. The room had a unique smell. However it was air conditioned and the hotel lobby was ok. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location great!

Such a beautiful hotel with so much character! The staff was fantastic and very helpful. The bartender served up one of his signature drinks and it was to die for! Breakfast was a great value. We were very satisfied with Hotel Bretagna!

The only good thing about this hotel was the location right on the river. Nevertheless, this didnt make up for the tiny box room, which wasn't particularly clean, small shared bathroom and breakfast not included. Couldn't wait to leave.

My son and I came for the history not for the fun. Everything was very good. Thank-you for a lovely B&B. Age groups don't apply for us. I am 59 and my son 22 and we came to spend time together during his college break in a country he has always wanted to see ( I have been before0

Our first night we were placed in room 25, which we found out the next morning was next door to their construction site for the new renovations. They offered to move us to a quiet area of the hotel, no problem. The rooms in the 30s are much nicer, newly renovated, and best of all quiet. Our room in the 20s was fantastic and huge, only problem was the construction, so watch out. Reception was fantastic, recommended great restaurants in the area. Would highly recommend and can't wait to return.close

For someone who likes sleeping in I wouldn't suggest it. Besides that the location was great... staff accommodating... and it holds a quirky character.close

Very charming! A great price for a really decent hotel with extremely helpful staff, a great location, and good breakfast (although its not included). We ended up staying in Florence an extra night and got a deal on an upgrade. The showers were awesome. Would definitely stay there again.

A cosy budget hotel and is cheap for its standard. Stayed here for an extra night because arrived in Florence earlier than expected. Offered a suite for the same price of a standard room is great!!Enjoyed the jacuzzi and beautiful view of the riverside in the morning. Overall, a great budget hotel!

The location is good just off the main river side. Room is clean. the walking distance to the station is about 12 minutes. however, there are only two shower room in the hostel for all the rooms, and people have to wait for the shower in the night.

Very good location and some friendly staff. There is only one room with a view on the Arno, but, the living room is big and offers a nice view. The only downside is the unclean blanket and covers, although the sheets were very clean and we were happy to get new towels everyday.

This hotel is an unbelievable bargain in the offseason for its location. I would highly, highly recommend it. Being right on the river is wonderful. They have a beautiful breakfast room and small terrace with a gorgeous view of the Ponte Vecchio. The rooms are small but comfortable and pretty clean.

Amazing place! Prime location right on the river! and relatively close to the main station. (10 min walk) Absolutely stunning views of everything from the massive wide opening hotel room window! Porto Vecchio to the left, Palazzo Pitti ahead, and stunning views of Tuscany in the distance. Beyond...

Place is nice, decent and clean. The floor we stayed on only had one bathroom, so that was a downer, took a while to get though that line. Other than that the place is good, I'd reccomend it as a budjet place to stay.

Although the room was pretty big and divieded in 2 halves, the sleeping area was only able to fit a double bed and a sigle bed. So when we fitted another single bed, we had no room to move at all !! That's why I believe it was just a triple room. Apart from that everything was very good. The staff there were so nice and helpful all the time. Excellent location as well !close

The room we stayed in was quite large with high ceiling and fabulous location and view - it overlooked the River Arno! The only problem was that we had a shared bathroom, and there were probably 12 people in total who had to share that one bathroom (no sinks in the rooms). So it was always a race every evening to get the bathroom. Besides that, it was a great place to stay!close
