    We could do with a little table in the room to put our wine glasses on :-) and maybe two chairs. But that's not something major.

    Central location. Pretty much in the centre of the action. Right next to Mercado Centrale, and a very short walk from The Duomo.

    The only negative to staying here is that you must climb 4 flights of stairs to reach the lobby and your room.

    Location and friendly staff. Room was comfortable. Many restaurants and attractions nearby. About a 6 minute walk to the train station.

    The noise was a bit of an issue. It was noisy during dinner time, because the venue was surrounded by restaurants. However, after the hour when warm kitchens were shut, the region quieted down.

    The location was close to major tourist sites, as well as the train station (S. M. N). One could ask the staff for recommendations of restaurants locals would go to. The air conditioner quickly warmed up the room in winter.

    Basic secure and clean accomodation within very easy reach of the tourist attractions in Florence.

    We expected that there were lots of stairs to reach the hotel and reception. We were travelling light so that wasn't a problem but those with large suitcases struggled. No lift and four flights of stairs (second floor). Reception only manned between 08:00 and 20:00 - a phone number and a call out fee outside of these times. The en-suite shower was just a trickle and it was difficult to control the temperature due to poor cold water pressure.

    It is well within the historic city of Florence. The proprietors were very friendly/helpful and speak very good english (handy as my Italian is rubbish). It is secure accomodation from which to explore the city. The hotel does not have food but there are lots of restaurants and cafes as soon as you walk outside of the building.

    It could do with some modernisation. Although it wasn’t (for us) a problem that the decor wasn’t contemporary, it would have been better if the shower had a door and not a curtain. Better lighting would transform the whole building.

    The location was excellent. Just a few minutes walk from the centre.

    The stairs, but it looks like its came from the architecture of Florence. Every building is narrow and you must get your heavy baggages at least the second floor. Our room view wasn't the best, we didn't saw any landmark from it, but the interiors of the building :(

    Perfect location, at San Giovanni's district, everything is close by, good room, with everything you need, king size bed, TV, bathroom with bidet, toiletries, hair dryer. Staff was friendly and polite, also fluent in english. There is a good gluten-free restaurant just around the corner. The price was affordable - this was my most expensive room in Florence -, and they let us do an early check-in which was very nice! I definetely recommend even for longer stay. I would like to come back here any time.

    The building is old but is clean and has good running water. I have no complains.

    The property is an old building. It is located in the middle of the city and near train station, walking distance to popular tourist spots and near night market. The staff was very helpful and nice, we were able to check in early.

    There is no elevator, so be careful if you have big luggage; also in our room the drain bathroom was not working well, we got flooded, the reception is not 24/7 we have to managed by ourself.

    The property is well located, nearby local tourist attractions, you can walk to all of the and also is surrounded by really good local restaurants.

    Central located, close to the central station , market and historical center. Our room was clean and tidy, staff very helpful and friendly. Thanks for the great chats Igor We travel light, one small suitcase for the 2 of us for 4 weeks which is great if your hotel does not have an elevator and you have to cllimb 4 stairs like San Lorenzo.

    The room had essentials only, which is exactly what is listed. The beds were arranged in a neat row with a desk for sitting and writing. For some, this space might be considered tight, but if you are using this room as a homebase for seeing Florence and being out on the town, and just sleeping at night, it is sufficient. There is also shared spaces outside the room if lounging space is needed.

    The hotel is centrally located in Florence, with easy access to the Academia Gallery and Central Market. Parking nearby was possible with suggestion from the staff. The room itself offered views of the tiled roofs of Firenze, with a balcony for fresh air. Check in and check out were easy.

    Reading some reviews by people who are expecting 4 star luxury, for cheap 2 star prices in the center of Florence. If you want 4 star, you'll pay 3x this price.

    Location!! You are a few minutes walk to everything you want to see. And 10 minutes walk from the main train station. Surrounded by bars cafes and take away places, just by the central market. Whilst the rooms are shared bathroom, I was on the 3rd floor sharing the bathroom with only 1 other room, so never had any issues. Cleaned daily, fresh towels and restocked of basic toiletries, it was very good value. Whilst very close to the market, I had little noise in my room Which was the single on the top floor, with the small skylight window. Whilst the hotel is in a very old historical building, and has been remodeled several times over the centuries, it has plenty electrical outlets, and constant hot water with good pressure in the shower. Good Aircon. The staff were awesome, helping me with recommendations and loaning me a bottle opener for my room. Recommended for people looking for simple lodgings at a good price in a perfect location.

    Location was great and the room is basic but has everything you need. There's parking 2 mins away and you can walk pretty much anywhere from the hotel. It's up two flights of stairs but that's pretty standard. Good value for money and would visit again.
