excellent, friendly staff, spacious room, plenty of windows, wardrobe space, fridge, mini safe, tea/coffee making facilities in room, complimentary sweets, left breakfast in room for the morning when we checked out early. didn't use it but TV is too small for the size of the room and the distance to the bed, and safe could be bigger - not laptop or even ipad sized but fine for jewellery, etc. Difficult to get into shower because of proximity to sink but nice when did get in. Heating a little temperamental - ask at desk if unsure. Cereal would be good at breakfast !!!

First class central location and very good valuefor money. We had a lovely studio room at the top with a great view. Breakfast a bit limited for people without a sweet tooth, not even hard- boiled eggs on offer.

After our bad first night (see bad points..), we were moved for our second night to another room. It was in the same building, but we think was actually a room at Allora b&b, a separate business. This room was great, really nice and clean and large, although just a standard room. However, imoirtant to note that this was a room at Allora, not Residenza Castiglioni!! On arrival we were told we'd been upgraded to a suite. Sounded fantastic, but wasn'T. (We suspect this happened because they'd somehow got the bookings wrong). The "suite" was outside the rest of the hotel building, and we had to ring the doorbell to be let in for breakfast. The suite was an old and probably once grand room, but although large with a mezzanine (for the bed) it was the stuffiest room I've ever been in! I an attempt to be "baroque", it was overfilled with unecessary stuff - it looked like 10 Italian grandmas had died and donated their furniture and that it had then been put in without a cleaning! The bathroom smelled exceptionally bad - we ended up cleaning the ventilation and flushing the toilet with washingup liquid ourselves to make it bearable. The furniture was old and stuffy with dusty ribbons and cloths everywhere. There were ancient technical devices on display (why?), and we actually had to get quite drunk to bear spending the night in the room....Besides this, the wifi does not extend to the rooms, everyone sat in the reception to use it. Also, finding the hotel is v difficult, and the guy they sent out to meet us was rude. We had to park in a nearby garage - they charged us loads..

Have to say, me and my girlfriend were amazed by this place. Building is stunning, personnel very helpful with good recommendations for food etc (admittedly not the best English but very good by Italian standards), it was very affordable and last the breakfast served in bed gave the final five star touch. I would take this to any average boring chain hotel place. Highly recommended.

This hotel is in the ideal location. It's walking distance from the train station and also walking distance from the city centre, so there is no need to use taxis if you stay here. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are very unusual with frescoes painted all around. It's a good hotel to stay in if you're planning a city break in Florence.

The only good thing about this hotel is its convenient location. It is close to the station and other historical sites. You should avoid this hotel unless the loud music and noise do not bother your sleep. The loud music outside continued until midnight. The windows are not good enough to block the noise. This place looks nice in the pictures, but is overdue for renovation. The bathroom is relatively good, but the overall impression is "old and spent". The lady at the reception did not speak a single word of English. If you do not understand Italian, you would be completely lost here!

The big triple room with old wooden two part doors all painted in wood patina and the excellent ceiling paintings in baroque style. Big bathroom and coffee-tea facilities in the room.Nice wooden old furniture. And wool carpet. It was very noisy even in the second floor.The third bed wasn't a bed at all but just the sofa opened in bed.

великолепный отель. номер даже лучше чем на фотографии. в номере чайник и все для чаепития: набор чая-кофе, мед. чашки естественно. а также бокалы для вина и штопор (что не маловажно!!). завтраки скромные, но качество продуктов замечательное: свежайшие йогурты в стеклянных баночках, конфитюр (домашний и фабричный), сыр и паштеты в упаковке, мюсли- хлопья, вареные яйца, чуть выпечки, сок, фрукты. отель расположен в самом центе: до дуомо пять минут пешком. на этой же улице несколько ресторанов и магазинов - соседняя дверь мини- супермаркет. рекомендую!!

A localização é excelente e o quarto é muito grande. A decoração medieval, faz você pensar por um instante que está vivendo naquela época. A limpeza do quarto não estava tão boa, e a privacidade do quarto não é das melhores, pois a porta é bem fina e simples.

Posizione ottima per visitare la citta, bella camera grande, molto curata e pulita,con maglifici affreschi e dettagli .Personale disponibile e belle atmosfere. La colazione poco fornita e non all'altezza del posto e l'insonorizzazione della camera non è sufficiente dato il traffico notturno .

antes de hacer la reserva habia mirado los comentarios.Solo se ajusta a que esta muy cerca del duomo y que el trato es familiar.Los señores que nos atendieron eran muy amables. el desayuno era poco variado(el zumo de bote, el yogurth entero y natural,poca fruta)La habitacion estaba muy lejos de ser con encanto.Era grandisima pero nada de encanto,le faltaba pintura.La relacion calidad-precio muy superior para lo que fue( pague 144e la noche).Los comentarios estan sobrevalorados.

Situation extra : 5 min a pied à peine de tous les monuments : nous avons tout visité à pied et cela était très agrèable! Le propriétaire parle très bien anglais français, et sait nous conseiller et nous aider si besoin. La résidence est très agréable avec un style florentin dans les chambres! Nous y retournerons avec plaisir. Un peu de bruit dans la rue mais franchement ce n'est pas grand chose.
