    The bathroom is a little dated and could use a freshen up, also providing an extra pillow wouldn’t hurt. These were certainly not deal breakers and would certainly stay again.

    Hotel Balcony is a medium sized hotel in the heart of Florence. We liked the location, the friendly staff and the comfy bed.

    A lift would have been convenient.

    We felt that we were staying with family. This is a small hotel with about 14 well decorated rooms. It is owned and operated by a husband, wife and their son. They were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location is superb. The Duomo is a few hundred meters from hotel. And the direct tram from the Florence Airport also stops a few hundred meters away.

    I didnt like that I did not have a view from my room, i expected to have a view of at least the street or the duomo. The walls were also very thin, you can hear everything. That did not affect me though because I stayed out all day exploring and then would go out at night but its definitely something to be aware of.

    I loved the people who worked the hotel they were super nice and made me feel comfortable and safe which is important as I was on my first solo trip. The older woman running the hotel was particularly so kind, she talked to me when I got there about Florence and was just so welcoming. Room and bed was nice and comfortable, everything was clean, sheets were cleaned/towels replaced immediately the next day, absolutley amazing location. Location was the best part of the place. Great hotel if you are traveling solo. Though checkout was at 11am I was able to keep my bags there all day which was so nice!

    The “patio” wasn’t quite what I was expecting but didn’t need one anyway. Toiletries were primitive (no conditioner) which I wish I’d known but otherwise no complaints.

    Staff were lovely; location was amazing.

    The rooms aren't well isolated for sound as I was able to clearly hear the people in the next room speaking, and the opening/closing of doors is quite loud. Some parts of the room were quite old and showing some wear and tear.

    Lovely staff who accomodated an early breakfast to be able to run the Firenze marathon. Great location at a walking distance from every monument and transportation. Clean rooms.

    The shower had some issues. There was hardly any warm water (one day even no warm water, though they fixed this during my stay). Wifi had the tendency to slow down considerably in the evening.

    Great location!! Close to the station as well as the historical centre.

    Bedroom was very small, we had to climb over our suitcases, Stairw as there is no lift, on saying that the host that met us carried our bags up the stairs. Breakfast was very average

    The room was quiet, walking distance to all the attractions, clean and tidy hotel, fabulous restaurant a few doors up.

    Whilst not a big issue overall, the room adjoined a shared terrace where guests could (and did) smoke. Unfortunately as non-smokers (and as an asthmatic) it was necessary to keep the windows closed which created some stuffiness in the room.

    The location of Hotel Balcony is perfect. It is located a short walking distance from the train station and to the main tourist attractions. Friendly and helpful staff (owner). The breakfast was thoughtfully prepared offering various options to cater for varying dietary requirements. Our twin room had opening windows and included a small bar refrigerator, the bathroom was clean with good water pressure and hot water.
