“Small hotel near the central station”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is just a stone throw from the station although it would take sometime for a newcomer to figure out where exactly it is. It looks more like a large house with several rooms rather than a traditional hotel. I did not check it out completely but there appear to be only about 15 rooms. This was the only hotel in our trip to Italy where we had to wait till the standard check in time (1 pm) before the room was allotted followed with a stern reminder from the old lady at the reception that we would need to check out before 11 pm on our last day. This could be the problem due to the small number of rooms.

The room given to us had no view and the window faces that of another room. Further the room was small and the bath had no tub. Some faucets were leaky and I thought there was no point in asking for a change of room for a couple of days.

Wifi was provided free and the signal strength was good. Breakfast was the usual European buffet but as it was served on an open terrace overlooking a busy street it made a difference.

“We hated it and won't go back”

person found this review helpful

We had reservation for this Hotel, once we got there, she told us there is no room, they told us they take us to a different Hotel that is good and clean, it wasn't, the room was small, dirty, the toilet and shower were in the same space!!!!
After calling Hotel Domus many times they agreed to give us a room for second night.
Avoid going there, that might happen to you and ruin your vacation, the next day they made us waiting there until 2pm to get the room.
Our vacation in Florence was ruined and wasted the two days on Hotel

“Worst Hotel Ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Do not stay here! We stayed here for two nights, and it was absolutely horrible. I totally agree with the previous review about the apathetic and negligent management. Our air conditioning did not work and the control was broken. Although they said that they would fix it, they did nothing while we boiled. The Wifi is so weak that you have to be right next to the front desk for it to work. The breakfast was disgusting.

The piazza is not worth staying near. It lacks character, is noisy all night long from drunks and the view is of the first floor loggia. At 6:00 AM, a horrific noise starts as the sewage trucks begin their work. Stay elsewhere!!!

“terrible staff, apathetic manageress, she couldn't care less about providing a service,”

Beware, would not stay here again, when we arrived, the toilet did not work, told the manageress, she said she would get it fixed, we went out, came back two hours later, nothing was done to fix toilet. Asked for another room, manageress flatly refused , said it only little problem, still not fixed after five hours, said it not her problem. We left and went to Hotel Giglio, fantastic staff, what a difference!
