    50 meters away from the Duomo.Authentic room and accommodation.

    Can be noisy at night, busy street below

    8JiroPosted on: 1-9-2026

    The location is REALLY GOOD. The room was also spacious, with high ceiling (with some worn out frescoes which was good!). We also had our own bathroom (though it's separate from the room, but it was convenient as well)

    The internet, as written on their reviews, is true. The signal couldn't reach the bedrooms. Also, the shower area was a little cramped and it gets clogged a bit, I think it can be improved with new shower enclosures.

    8MeganPosted on: 1-8-2026

    The location was fantastic,, right in the middle of everything. We had a great view from our room of the Piazza San Giovanni. The bathroom was modern and spotless, but the rest of the room was charming with character. The host was excellent.

    The fridge didnt really work.

    8SophiePosted on: 11-15-2025

    Phenomenal location and very clean property

    The room was very bare and basic

    10ZhenPosted on: 11-13-2025

    It was so great! Can see the duomo directly from the window. The closest building to it! The room is big, typically traditional style. The landlord is super nice as well. Clean room! My future only choice in Florence

    Everything is perfect

    3AhmedPosted on: 11-12-2025

    The location is in the center of florence

    Not clean room, bad towels, bad pellows the floor is messy...

    6SandraPosted on: 11-2-2025

    Location was great! Big room with a nice view and friendly stuff.

    WiFi wasn’t so good. Had to move the bed to get a connection because of the distance to the modem. Really responsive from the corridor and the noice from outside. Make sure you have earplugs with you. Be careful in the staircase. The lightning is not that good. I fell and hurt myself so had to spend one day at the hospital.

    Location location location! Being right next to the Duomo, it was perfect for stepping straight out into the beauty of Florence. The entry system was efficient and the receptionists friendly. The room spacious with great views and it’s certainly a nice experience to stay in such a historical building.

    It’s basic. The sinks and showers sometimes got clogged - could definitely do with a renovation.

    5MAHDIPosted on: 10-23-2025

    Wonderfull location and great staff behaviour, easy and flexible check-in.

    Almost no facilities were provided for the guests. the WiFi also didnt have a good signal range si we had no access in the rooms and was accessible only in corridors. We expected a better towel and shampoo and a bit larger bathroom, it was so small, all the spaces includin floor and walls need a bit of renovation to feel good and clean.

    7DaniellePosted on: 10-19-2025

    Stunning view of Duomo from room 6! Very spacious room.

    Bathroom was seperate to main room, and was very small. Can be loud at night due to being right next to the Duomo/people busking there, until as late as 11:30pm.

    8HayleyPosted on: 10-14-2025

    Good spot right near the duomo

    Very old style, bathrooms were not attached to the room - they were cross the hallway. Mould smell throughout the building.

    9IrinaPosted on: 10-13-2025

    Location, big room nr 4 , Duomo view from the window

    little WiFi reception in the bedroom, only in common area

    9StephenPosted on: 10-12-2025

    Location perfect, right beside duomo and not far from station. Staff were friendly and helpful for leaving bags and checkin was smooth. Space in the room was great

    The doors are very thin and you can hear people come and go as part of floor is a bit creaky but this wasn’t a major issue for us we enjoyed staying here but just mentioning as others might not like it

    8IanPosted on: 10-10-2025

    Very friendly staff - always willing to help - location 10 stars - view excellent and entertainment also very good

    9OliverPosted on: 10-9-2025

    The location was incredible, could not ask for a better view. When the windows were shut it was very dark and blocked most of the noise from the busy street below

    We paid for the private bathroom which was great but did involve leaving our room and walking across the hallway with a separate key to unlock. No issue for us but just something to be aware of when booking!

    8KimPosted on: 9-28-2025

    Location!! Price. Safe. Clean. The three bed with private bath room was spacious. Beds were comfortable. The lively sounds of the bustling square below lasted late through the night, but bring earplugs or a sound machine if you think that will keep you awake. The room we rented had an AC, but open windows cooled the place off more effectively.

    Staff took away dirty towels, but did not consistently replace them. Last night there, we had one hand towel for three people, and one dirty bath towel hanging on a hook to dry from previous night that thankfully staff had not removed. Staff gate was locked, couldn’t ask anyone for a towel. I am not so high maintenance I expect a fresh bath towel every day. But if you take it away, at least replace it ? The tiny fridge was a handy amenity; however food did not stay cold in it. Might need replacing. There are two lighted mirrors for the ladies to apply makeup, etc, but they both only had half available bulbs lit. Wifi does not work throughout the building.
