Nothing- this hotel ruined our experience of Florence and has given us nothing but bad memories of the city. Where do we start? First the staff denied receiving a reservation from booking.com and it was only when I produced a confiation printout that they started preparing a room for us- very stressful after a long journey to get there. The "superior" double room looked into an alley way & was tiny; only thing that was superior about it was white linen. The towels provided could be best described as something you'd dry your dishes with; when asked for proper towels was told there were none but when we snuck up to the 4th floor, the maid had left the linen closet open so we helped ourselves to fluffy white towels clearly meant for guests staying in the suites. Although soft drinks/water from the mini bar were supposed to be replenished daily, this was done only once, same with soaps etc. At breakfast it took over 30 minutes & asking the staff twice before we could get a coffee. The final straw came when we asked about the roof top jacuzzi complete with views as advertised on booking.com; was told we needed to reserve a time and pay an additional €200 to use it.

The design was very nice and sober. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The towels in the bathroom were of very high quality fiber. The location : 5 minutes from Santa Croce, 10 minutes from Duomo by foot. The minibar has only two bottles of water. Don't get up late from breakfast on Saturdays, or you won't have any place left to eat in the restaurant, very nice design but not very big.

Location and comfort. The hotel is in the city centre (Florence is a small city), perfectly located. (10 minutes walking to Piazza Della Signoria both on the river side or by the cosy streets). The hotel is like the pictures :a boutique hotel where everything is white, modern and clean with attention to the details. Breakfast is really good with a wide range of pastries, biscuits, fresh fruit, yogurt. Nothing! everything is perfect and even my picky mum liked it!

Hotel Home was spacious. Staff was friendly and readily available for assistance to guests. The wireless internet connection did not work well. Although we were able to log on easily, we did not remain connected. This was troublesome.

The staff were all cheerful and helpful young people. The room and bathroom were modern, comfortable and clean. The location is very good, close to the river and a park, walking distance from the center of Florence and the museums. And to top it all, the hotel provides free bikes! I started with a 3-day stay and decided to stay on 3 more days.

The design is nice as well as the fact is really quite in a city that could be nosy. Design is nice but overall it's a cold atmosphere. The service is not in relation with the positioning of the hotel : I have to ask for the renewal of shampoo aand ask again for the refilling of water in the minibar after two days and two days afetr it was the same story. The breakfast room has no windows and again looks cold. Single room are good looking but really small for the price. I would not recommend that hotel since the experience is not in relation with the price as far as I am concern.

This was our first time staying at Hotel Home. The hotel is very pretty, comfortable, and was conveniently located for our purposes. The breakfast was very good, and well-presented. I particularly liked the fresh, elegant design of the hotel, and the comfortable bed with crisp white linens. I also appreciated the thoughtful afternoon snacks that were provided. It is difficult to find a moderately priced hotel in Florence that offers as much -- however, we benefited from a special price offer on one of the hotel websites. We visit Florence often, and I would like to stay at the hotel again on our next visit. (1) The mini-bar in the room only contained water and a soft drink. (2) I would have appreciated some more toiletries in the bathroom; but I noted that the bath gel that was provided was a nice quality. (3) The hotel staff were professional and polite. However, if I had been visiting Firenze for the first time as a tourist, I believe I would have liked to have seen more evidence of the famous Italian charm and warmth.

The interior design of public spaces and room is just astonishing! It's a pleasure just to stay inside of hotel, relax, enjoy the looks of it, play billiards... The breakfast is good and the staff is professional. Free bike rental is a nice addition. We got a "flash deal" for a very good price for the room; that's why we choose this hotel. Normal prices are very high and a too expensive.

The design and styling of the hotel was fantastic. But beyond that they seemed to have taken into account all the little details which usually are over looked at other hotels. For example, decent big towels, a large glass for your juice at breakfast, wifi through out the hotel and enough hangers in the cupboard! Since I travel a lot, these little things make a huge difference. The daily aperitivo where they served little sandwiches and drinks every lunch time was great little bonus, really nice touch. Overall a fantastic stay.

Friendly staff..fairly walking distance from duomo. Decent breakfast They should definetely make people aware that this is a 2 building put together where you need to jump and climb stairways on the same floor!..not difficult for healty singles and doubles, but if you book a room with a 6 months old baby indicated in yr reservation; it is not fair from you to expect to lift the baby/carriage/carseat everytime you want to enter to your room. Definetely not a family friendly hotel w small children!..

The whole 'look' of the hotel is beautiful. Minimalist. Modern. Chic. It is what initially attracted me to it and I certainly did not leave visually disappointed. The bed was amazingly comfortable. The breakfast was quite good as well. The staff was quite rude. In fact, very rude. They made a mistake with my booking, denied it, and then failed to apologize for it. And, while fixing the problem, were quite resentful. (I did not dramatize the situation at all so I don't really see what the problem was... And it was in fact their mistake.) The rest of my stay was followed with cold greetings. But, having said that, the hotel is quite good as long as your interaction with the staff remains to a minimum. ...........Also.... The floor is the room was quite dirty.

The location was excellent and the design very fresh and interesting. I would actually love to know where I could get the big white plaster flowers that served as handles on the closet and on the ceiling... Will recommend to friends and hopefully comme back soon.

The hotel is in a good location, at walking distance from all tourist sites. The rooms are clean, fairly recently decorated, and very white. The hotel is quiet, and it is fairly easy to have a late morning in bed. Our room was on the last floor (4th floor) and although it was really quiet, it did not have any window but roof lights. This was great to keep noise out, but felt a little claustrophobic

Whilst not a super central location - it is worth the walk (and a lovely stroll home after a dinner). Close to Santa Croce and the river the city is easy to access from here (plus Florence is so small it's not a huge thing to over come). hotel staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was great and we were very relaxed whilst there.
