Florence gem.
A quiet older style apartment building, well located for me near Casine Park where I needed to be for several days. Host was helpful with regard to sights and tours to do.
Easy walking distance to the city centre. Airconditioning in the rooms was wonderful.
There was an electric jug in the communal cupboard which was great for a morning tea. Coffee machine also available.

Extremely firm bed - not comfortsble
While Albina was friendly and helpful, and the room was clean, the bed was so hard they I woke in pain several times a night. I have never encountered such a hard bed in a B&B or hotell in the western world in 28 years of travel. It was like sleeping on the carpeted floor. The owner did swap the bed for another that was marginally softer, but still not comfortable.
Good location, safe street near the station, restaurants and main attractions.

Clean, comfy and convenient
Be sure to contact them 24 hours in advance if you plan to arrive during off-hours, so that you can get the door codes. The desk isn't staffed 24/7, and messaging via Hotels.com isn't always relayed in a timely fashion.

pure classical experience
I thought it was a hotel but actually It is an apartment which its rooms are rented to tourists, so there were no staff there during the day and night (only in morning for breakfast). The rooms were quite clean and nice. The breakfast was small, simple and homemade. However in general I really liked it because it was a very old building, furnished in a completely classic way, so I could catch a real feeling of old Italian neighbourhoods and classical style of living.

9 November 2016
No regular window in the room. Breakfast time is about 9am. Do not expect real breakfast. Super Dirty walls and furniture. Lots mosquitoes and bed bugs. I got bit by them a lot. Towel change every 3 days. Bed smell from A/C. The room was humid so all towels were not dry. I reused wet towels. I dropped my towels on floor first day. They just hang up dirty towels in bathroom for reusing. Owner worked until 2pm and didn't response guest's request or emergency issue. They were not friendly. I choose here because of great reviews. I regret and it was nightmare for me. There was too dark from 1st floor to 2nd floor.

Super clean and walking distance to cemtre of city
Loved Florence - a pleasure to walk the culturally rich streets - take hiking shoes - cobbles are hard on your feet. Felt safe and welcomed as a traveller. Great evening life in the centre and good food everywhere.
Not a great experience for famillies with young children - great for young people and adults, art and culture lovers and romantics.
I woud stay longer next time.
Rome and Venice just an easy train ride away and Tuscany Coast would be easy to access if pre booked,
Took a day trip to Venice - not a good idea - Venice was packed with people doing the same thing - way too busy to appreciate its obvious cultural beauty.

Quiet street, close to transportation
This hotel was located within walking distance of the train terminal and was on a nice quiet street, but close to lots of shops and restaurants. Although there was no view of the river it was also very close to the river to allow for a nice walk along the river.

well below avarege
I wouldn't stay again in this hotel for few reasons. the bed was so uncomfortable it could only be compared to a wooden floor. breakfast was well below average. Although room were cleaned everyday towels didn't get changed. When we requested fresh bath towels we were told it they will get replaced. To our surprise and disappointment we found the wet towels (those we threw on a floor!! before leaving hotel for the day) hanging in the bathroom. We had to wait until next morning to get fresh towel as there was no staff on duty.

Good value for independent travelers
Great place for rather independent and healthy travelers located in a quite and safe upscale neighborhood. Short walk from train station and on backside of building along the Arno. A 15/20 minute walk to most major sights.
(Bargello Museum was our favorite)

A great location to main attractions
PROS: It is a great little place, close to all the main tourist attractions via a little walk, 20 mins max. Right near the river which is beautiful at sunset! The staff are very friendly and the area is very quiet so was easy to sleep. Oh, and the bathroom tiles are amazing! :)
CONS: the only con I really have is the bed was way too hard and the ad says multilingual staff but only spoke to the owner (who spoke English) on the last day when we checked out. However, even though the gentleman who was there everyday to greet us for breakfast, he was very polite.
A very enjoyable stay!

Good Value
The reviews are correct. No one was there to check us in/greet us. There was a note on the door off the street with a key. - Make sure to turn the key with some force as we could not get the key to work correct at fist. That being said, for the price this was an excellent value. The neighborhood felt safe and is close enough to walk to major attractions. Breakfast was adequate. When the staff was there, for breakfast and housekeeping, they were very friendly and helpful.
