Small yes, unobtrusive no, why would anyone want to stay in fancy hotels in Florence - I have no idea - it's not like you spend any time in your room anyway right? It's next to the station about 10 minute walk to where all the action happens - and seemed to be good value for money! More

I went to this hotel last summer with 2 friends of me. We were surprise by the quality of the rooms whereas it was not expensive. The staff was really kind, they open the terrasse for us until late in order that we can appreciate the nice weather of Italy. I recommend this Hotel. More

Although we booked a budget room with a shared bathroom, when we were at the reception to check in we were told that we would be given a better room with a private bathroom for the same price. That was a good welcome surprise for us in Florence. We really got quite a luxurious room with a private bathroom and... More

This hotel is attached to a sister hotel called Hotel Anabella, which seemed to have a older clients, we assumed this hotel would be a upgraded version of Bijou. Bijou's location is optimal, there is a a great grocery story around the corner, my friend and I would pick up yogurt, bread, fruit, cheese and water for our trips, and... More

Three girlfriends and I stayed at this location in May and it was definitely the lowest point of our trip. Aside from being very conveniently located next to the train station, this hostel offered nothing but oddities. The hostel is located on an upper floor split with a sister hotel. The Bijou rooms are to the right off of the... More

I have to tell you the location, staff, and room were excellent. I went and stayed there with my three girlfriends and we had a blast. The staff really helped guide us through Florence and helped us to stay on budget. They didn't have to really give us any recommendations or tell us the best kept secrets of Florence, but... More

The room with the private bath needed much better lighting than what was provided. We were told that because we booked through Expedia, we were not entitled to the Continental breakfast, No hair dryer in the private bath - even though a hair dryer was listed as a hotel amenity. I would NOT recommend this trap at all! More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and were extremely happy with our choice. The staff were friendly and helpfull giving us directions to every location we asked about. The double room we had was cozy and had everything we needed. The hotel offers excellent value for money which is difficult to find these days. We look forward to... More

We booked this hotel through Booking.com for one night, but we stayed 3 nights. Value for money is unreal when compared with most hotels in Florence. The staff is very helpful and pays attention to your needs. Firenze SMN train station is two minutes walk and there are plenty of attraction points nearby the hotel. One of the best hotels... More
