We enjoyed all 3 of our stays and other than the lack of a protein source other than yogurt, breakfast was nice and there was an option for cafe Americano. Some minor maintenance issues should be addressed but overall we liked the warmth and quaintness.

Making contact once I arrived was challenging. The buzzer/door bell was inoperative. The phone number was not accurate. Once access was given the wrong floor was given. My room was tucked in a back section of the building down a narrow corridor. Noisy with mosquitoes. Down steep steps to a bathroom. Breakfast was good, staff was friendly and helpful though.
Accommodations are very overpriced at $213. Would not stay here again.

This property is located about 20 minutes walking from the cathedral. Is a quiet location.
The reason of the 1 star is the lack of communication and false advertising. We arrived to the hotel after 3 pm (checking time) and nobody was at the reception, I had no line to call an Italian number, good thing one of our friends arrived and he was able to call. We got the codes to get in, I rented 2 rooms, both with private bathroom, A/C and hairdryer.
As soon as I got into my room, the temperature was 24/25 (75/77), which it was pretty hot for me, there was no control remote for the A/C, there was no hairdryer neither. I contacted the hotel via Expedia and no answer. Waited few hours and message again and silence.
The other room that I rent it, didn’t have a bathroom inside the room… you had to leave your room, walk in the hall, go downstairs and you will see the bathroom.
Showering was another problem.. the water accumulated at your feet, almost overflowing if you took a shower that lasted more than 4 minutes.
The hotel finally answered back 24 hours after my checkout to tell me that it seems that the people staying in the same room before us probably stole the hairdryer and that did not believe the room was hot as nobody else complain about the rooms being hot just me.
Customer service is just horrendous.

My only suggestion would be more protein sources. Yogurt was the only one offered and it was always vanilla. More fresh fruit would have been appreciated as well

Quaint. Feels like you are staying in the real Florence. Desk manned for only a portion of the day. If you are arriving late, ensure you contact hotel for entry codes and room key. There is a code to building, code to floor of hotel and then key to room. Walkable from train station and walkable to attractions.

!ATTENTION AU VOL!
Ordinateur professionnel volé dans la chambre, très certainement lorsque le ménage a été fait. Ils ont regardé les caméras mais apparement rien a signaler. Nous sommes sûrs qu’il a été volé et gardé, probablement par leur personnel. C’est une honte et un scandale.
S’ajoute à cela:
- Salle de bain vétuste (minuscule et impossible de fermer les portes + portes cassées)
- Petit déjeuner que du sucre et gâteau industriel sans aucun goût, et aucune diversité, que du sucre!
Expérience déplorable je ne recommande pas du tout. FUYEZ!!!

Dit is geen hotel maar een hostel. Onze kamer was een mansarde met de dakpannen zichtbaar. We hadden wel een eigen badkamer maar die lag op de gang, dus geen deel van de kamer. Geen waterdruk wat spoelen moeilijk maakt. Het bed is te klein als je 1,80 meter lang bent. Inchecken verliep heel onvriendelijk alsof we niet welkom waren. . Ontbijt bestond uit voorverpakte industriële producten. Een schande voor Italië.
Rummet var okej. Luftigt och högt i tak. Duschmunstycket var trasigt och vattnet i duschen rann inte undan. AC:n väsnades. Frukosten väldigt enkel och bestod mestadels av fikabröd. På frukosten kunde man sitta på en vetande. Den var ganska trevlig.

Çok merkezi konumda bir bed & breakfast. Görevliler çok sıcak kanlı ve yardımsever. Odalar temiz, eski ve otantik bir bina. Otel olmadığı için 24 saat resepsiyon beklentisine girmeyin. Anahtarınızı alıp istediğiniz saatte kendiniz girip çıkıyorsunuz. Kahvaltısı güzeldi, İtalyan kahvaltılıkları. Kahvaltı salonunda İstediğiniz zaman kullanabileceğiniz Espresso makinesi de var. Arka tarafta kalan odalara geçiş dar bir koridordan. Wifi hızlı.

Buon B&B. Posizione comodissima per poter visitare il centro storico, possibilità di parcheggiare nelle vicinanze.
Personale gentilissimo, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
qualche piccolo dettaglio da rivedere per le dotazioni (tv, aspiratore bagno)
Piacevole chicca il terrazzo a disposizione.

The bed needed to be replaced- broken springs along one edge! Very very basic, except the breakfast, which was a lovely, plentiful continental breakfast if you got there right at 8. It is a 20 minute walk to all the sites (which feels long when it is so hot in July!), 10 minute walk from the Santa Maria Novella station, and a 6 minute walk to a great price-fixed place for dinner, Trattoria do Giorgio (Only 15 Euro per person for 1/4L wine or soda, a primi piatta like pasta and an entree + a side dish...so yummy, we went both nights we were in Florence. Get there close to 7 if you can, or you may be waiting a while).

Jolie petit hôtel
Très bon petit déjeuner, atmosphère agréable, une belle petite terrasse et un très bel emplacement avec des restaurants et une pharmacie à proximité. Par contre, à cause de la fenêtre que le propriétaire laissait ouverte en notre absence, beaucoup d’insectes rentrait dans la pièce. Le lit pourrait être plus confortable. En somme un endroit agréable et jolie

WORST EVER STAYING EXPERIENCE
Can not be worse. It's local ONS guest house and not a hotel. Entrance locked, property doors locked and no one to open for 30 minutes. I stand on rad knocking the door for 30 minutes. Can you beat that? Once a guy turned up who is supposed to be manager, from outside, he shared two codes to get in. I booked the best/largest room, but what I was given was the left out room. No A/C, plenty of mosquitoes, no warm water and moreover, no one to attend you in case if you die there. TOILET IN THE CORRIDOR. WORST EVER STAYING EXPERIENCE.

Bien située et très propre. Personnel agréable. Petit-déjeuner copieux, café exquis, mais exclusivement du pain et des pâtisseries de grande distribution. Mini frigo bien utile dans la chambre.
La chambre 101 donne sur la rue bruyante! Dégât des eaux apparent sur le mur contigu à la salle de bain (sec mais pas décoratif). Manque de tablettes près du lavabo et dans la douche, d'un éclairage au-dessus du bureau (chambre sombre).
