This is barely a one star hotel and is more comparable to a hostel. We were already booked, but arrived earlier and decided to stay at the same hotel instead of having to change locations. The room was a double which the front desk had not registered. Jean Carlo insisted it was a single even when we showed him the... More

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights. The hotel is clean and the breakfast is good. However my first impression of the hotel was just how outdated it was. It looked like something out of the late sixties. It definitely needs modernising. The rooms are very basic (the most modern thing was the small flat screen TV) and... More

The hotel is located close to all the major sites and is also near some good restaurants and coffee places. The room was tidy, comfortable and spotless. The decor is not brand new but well-maintained with some fair wear and tear. However, the hotel is located on a busy road so the room was noisy. The traffic subsided after 11pm... More

I took a romantic trip with my girlfriend in July which took us through Florence for a few days. We upgraded our original hotel to a four star and unfortunately received Hotel Carolus. Don't get me wrong...this hotel isn't that bad. The room is relatively tidy and spacious, has a functional LCD TV, roomy washroom and a safe....however when you... More

Very well located with a lovely view of the dome from the rear of the hotel but very disappointing, old fashioned rooms. More

I am staying at the hotel carolus right now after leaving the hotel Orto de medici earlier in the week. The hotel di Medici charged me $252 for Thursday and $168 for Friday for a terrible room on Thursday night. See my review for more. This hotel charged me 60 euros..it's around the corner from the de medici and the... More

Nice room, good size for two. The view was dreadful (overlooking a sort of courtyard and other buildings) but that is obviously room specific. The breakfast was good, the staff were extremely friendly. We booked it as a mystery hotel so the value for money was great. Would absolutely go back More

The staff was great. Very close to the train station. Easy to walk around the city from this hotel. The best accommodations on our italy trip I could go back. The best ac the bed was a little hard for my taste but it was good. Great coffee and breakfast. More

Stayed here with some friends for the weekend. We booked it through a lastminute.com secret hotel deal. On the plus side, the public areas are really nice, I thought the buffet breakfast was quite good for an Italian hotel, the service was lovely, the showers were hot and good, and best of all, the location is excellent - walking distance...
