Negative aspects: * Tired and not so clean bathroom: Probably fine for some people, but not for me. This was the worst bathroom I've ever had to use in a hotel. * Tiny breakfast area: They served breakfast in a really tiny room. When I walked into the room I was looking around to find the rest of the breakfast... More

We had to go out and buy paper towels and thats what i used to dry off with because the bed sheet napkin towel things were gross. The shower didnt drain so we had to turn... More

We toured Italy for our honeymoon and our last stop was in Florence. We chose this location based on other reviews. Also, because it was more middle of the road in terms of pricing. If I could go back in time I would have sucked it up and paid more for a hotel room. Although the main areas in the... More

The hotel was very close to the main station but it was not very well maintained. There was no staff at night and basically no one you could turn up to in case of a problem. The free WiFi is only in the lobby and not in the rooms. The A/C was not working either. Overall a very gloomy kind... More

There's a piano bar next to the hotel that plays live music till 1 AM every night, except on Mondays. You need earplugs if you want to stay there. This room was quite spacious, complete with a private bath and AC unit you can control. There's also a mini-fridge and a TV that only gets a handful of channels. The... More

They were able to lead us to many great hotels, shopping hot spots and somer pretty iconic spots as well. Its very close to Santa Maria Novella train station which made our... More

The best value for money of our whole trip. Great location, shops, restaurants, markets and train station all really close by. The only criticism would be the breakfast, which was merely adequate, but no question at that value level. The room was huge, but the shower was tiny. Steps, steps, and more steps, but still okay. Staff very friendly and... More

This hostel was okay. It's very centrally located and within walking distance to the train station, restaurants and other hot spots. The staff is very friendly and the room was quite large. The cleanliness was average -- the shower drain was plugged up so we found ourselves standing in water while showering. Our room was located on the main floor... More
