    So many many stairs but the location and staff made up for that. The decor was a little tired and an acquired taste, walls a bit thin but I would happily stay again.

    Location, location, location. It was perfect. Also around the corner, (up more stairs!), was a self service cafe. 3 courses, drinks for 4 under 50 Euros! It was so easy to get to the station, the Duomo and everywhere else. It fitted all 4 of us and we had a bathroom.

    The bathroom is not spacious. The breakfast is tasty, but not very varied.

    The hotel is located right in the center of the historic city, a few hundred meters from the main sights. The staff is very nice. Good price/quality ratio.

    It's a little jewel in the middle of the city. It sets the rinascimental atmosphere eoth these old rooms but at the same time are clean and cozy. The staff is super sweet, the position is great, the price for the value is unbeatable.

    The room had two split twin beds and the bathroom was an external bathroom where we had to pass by the breakfast area.

    The staff was very friendly and served breakfast everyday. The location was one of the the best aspects about this hotel because it was so close to the duomo, train station and river. Since this room had an external bathroom, there was a sink in the room that could be used.

    There is no elavator. You have to climb the stairs with your luggage yourself. They do not have staff to help you with luggage. But the reception man was kind to help a little after he saw that I was really struggling with my luggage.

    It is close to train station and everything else is just walking distance.

    Only thing I didn’t like was the Toilet/Shower setup, this is quite normal in Italy to not be great in this field. Water would spill out into the bathroom from shower.

    Could not have asked for a better location. Right in the middle of everything, short walk to all sites. Comfortable bed with great Air Con. Super friendly Staff. Super Simple yet good breakfast.

    The hostal is in a third floor of a building with no lift. That's only relevant if you carry too much luggage. The room's bathroom is so small, you barely have space to move, and not very kids-friendly, definitely needs to be renewed.

    Amazingly located this hostal offers economic cozy rooms with a nice staff. It only takes 2 minutes to reach the Cathedral. The included breakfast is simple but pretty complete. Although the rooms are not very spacious, they are beautiful with a classic Florence style and the beds are big and comfortable. Totally recommend if you want to spend a few days in Florence with an affordable budget.

    I needed a warning that we were to pay in cash because I had not taken out the money prior to and needed to run to an atm.

    Breakfast was lovely (nothing fancy, some bread, cheese, coffee and juice) and the lady who owns the hotel went as far as to knock on our door to make sure we didn’t miss it on our last day. They were all very nice!

    The stairs up to the hotel are very steep and the entrance location is a bit confusing to someone not accustomed to Italian cities. That really was the only drawback that I experienced

    The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I was able to borrow a transformer (I traveled from the UK) to charge my phone. The bedroom was of adequate size and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was plentiful. I also appreciated their storing my luggage for the day while I explored the city. The location is central, lots of restaurants and churches in the vacinity. Also a large bookstore near by, with a great selection of books printed in English. I had finished my book and was looking for more reading material!!

    Good to be away from the traffic noise as not on ground floor but knew before we booked that this meant a few steps to climb to get to our accommodation. ( Good practise for the sightseeing to The Duomo)

    Basic but comfortable accommodation, very small washroom but good shower. Quirky room - amazing to fit everything in. Helpful staff who organised earlier breakfast to fit in with early online museum visit- heated rolls/ croissants were very filling.

    The shower cabin is very small, even for thin people. And overall the bathroom would need some renovation. We were there in the end of March and the room was pretty cold.

    The host was friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast. We loved the baroque style room. It was quiet despite we had street view. :) The hotel is 3 mins walk from the Cathedral.

    We'd have liked an extra 10 sq. metres, but nothing to be done about that, nor the long haul up the stone staircase to the second floor. Not a good location for heavy suitcases, but did what it said on the tin - an inexpensive but satisfactory stopping- off place for one night with an exceptional location - suited us just fine.

    Exceptionally convenient for Santa Maria Station, the tram stop at Unita, and the Duomo
