“Former monastery, not plush but nice.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

My wife and I spent Christmas and NY 2012 celebrations here. We stayed at "J and J" for 6 nights. This small hotel used to be a monastery so don't expect plush and extravagant interiors.
We had a junior suite that had a living area with the bathroom at the lower level and a bedroom with a walk-in closet at the upper level. This setup is not bad and looks romantic, but it gets a bit inconvenient at night when you have to use the facilities located one flight of stairs lower than your bed. Particularly relevant, if you have somebody who is pregnant up there (my wife was in her 4 month and she did frequent the toilet!). The view from our room was what one could expect from a hotel in an old city center. Our room was clean, although the skyline window leaked once during a storm. The bathroom was not too big and didn't have any windows, but a ventilating system.

Breakfast was simple and not abundant. Croissants were particularly popular so we sometimes had to rush to get them. The waiting staff was not super pleasant, but the front desk staff was always attentive and helpful.

WIfi is not available in guest bedrooms but only in the lounge area around the reception and the breakfast room.

Although our experience was OK, I am not sure we would be back.

Room Tip: Rooms 17 is where Moravia stayed.

“Excellent location, staff, and comfort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

We spent from Christmas to New Year 2011 at the J and J. We loved the quiet location, so close to the major sights, and we found the staff to be superb. .For instance, no public transit runs on New Year's Day and taxi companies do not take bookings. The desk clerk found us a cab for the early morning trip to the airport. My wife has worked for Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton and is very knowledgeable about hotels. It passed all of her tests!

“It just made Florence all the more special”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

The J&J made our trip to Florence all the more special. It is only a short distance away from the Duomo and close to a number of interesting places. It was a lovely surprise! A converted monastery, complete with frescoes, even in our room. Simply picture-perfect in every sense.

Room Tip: If you can opt for one of the suites, it's a definite plus!

“Great Location, Quaint Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011

Had a nice stay at the J&J. It's only a short stroll to some of the best resturants in Florence. We found it within easy walking distance of all the major Florence sights , and only 15 mins walk from the station.
The hotel it's self was in a narrow side street. It looks small and unimpressive from the outside , but once inside it's very quaint. Staff were more than helpful with a great breakfast and as mentioned before, free wine in the evening before you venture out to fab resturants.
This is not a hotel for someone who likes the "Major hotel " experience, but it was just what we were looking for. We were initially dissapointed by our room ( room 20 ) but we had booked using travel points so maybe other rooms were better ( they looked a bit more upmarket on the web site ).
However, we would recommend the J&J and would certainly stay again if in Florence.

“Great hotel in a Great area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We really enjoyed our stay at J and J. There was a relaxing and friendly atmosphere and large spacious rooms. We had a room attached to a little courtyard and seating area, a lovely surprise. The hotel is situated down a side street slightly away from the hustle and bustle but we feel this was in its favour. It was a short5-10min to the Duomo and centre, yet we found wonderful shops, bars and restaurants very close by. This also meant it has a less tourist feel to the area. Breakfast was always fresh and tasty and staff always friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfy, great shower too. Would definitely recommend J and J's!
