Shared bathroom is not ideal but luckily it was very clean. Ventilation in the room not great.

Amazing location. Very friendly staff. The shared bathroom als very clean. Very good value for money considering how central the hotel is

A lot of stairs and no AC, like many old buildings in Europe so maybe for handicap or older people it’s not suitable.

I liked everything in this hotel you feel like the 15th century, the building, ceilings, paintings, so nice ! I will go back for sure

The room was smaller than expected, but it was adequate. After all, it's so centrally located that I can imagine what other such close places to stay will cost. It was listed with a shared bathroom, but that bathroom near my room was absolutely tiny and someone had been a slob and splashed water everywhere from the shower making a mess and making it difficult to use that shared bathroom. I also had to go out at midnight to the hall and ask neighbors to stop talking in the hall, and the halls are odd-shaped and sloping (watch your step). There isn't a breakfast provided, though I thought I read there was going to be one, but there is a cappuccino machine that was adequate. The bigger shower and bathroom is farther away, but it's the better one to use. The whole place is up 2 flights of stairs and the front door is hard to figure out when arriving, both a surprise to me. So there are some interesting details to this place, but it is in the heart of Florence, in a really classic historical building, so I'll treat the idiosyncracies as features rather than faults. Like I said, the man is a gem and erases most of my complaints because of his kindness.

The man who runs it is the main big benefit - he is a gem, and for that I will forgive all lesser details. He was so kind and gave me great suggestions for shopping and seeing the city. The location is OUTSTANDING, a rural neighborhood only 2 blocks from the Duomo and incredibly easy to walk anywhere. I'd stay again because the man is so nice, despite the other details.

Sharing the bathroom could be annoying but if you don’t mind everything will be fine.

The location was great, you can go anywhere from here.

Some of the rooms didn’t have air conditioning, only fans which was fine for the season we visited at the end of summer.

Excellent location, with huge apartment space. Great value for money. Beds were so comfortable. Shower was great. It was so close to all the main attractions. I would definitely book here again in future.

The stairs were challenging at first but we did get used to them. The stairs got us ready to climb the Duomo!

Perfect location in the centre of the city, easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go.

Great location, beautiful building and rooms. Rooms does not have air conditioning and street noise can be a bit disturbing, but both of understandable considering the age of the building and its location. Best kept secret in Florence. .

It was five stories high so be prepared to climb a lot of stairs. The entire level only have one bathroom (one toilet) to share so it can be inconvenient sometimes if you are in a hurry to use the toilet or to shower. It is in the centre so noises from the street gets very loud even up to midnight.

Location is great, right in the city center very close to the duomo. Room feels very clean and the staffs are friendly. The shared bathroom is also very clean and comfortable to use. The building itself has the Medici family crest and old fresco of Cosimo the elder as a turtle with a sail, you can feel the history of Florence right in this building.

Drive in was to drop off luggage is possible but not possible to drive in upon check out. Another less favourable was no lift.

Location is perfect

Nothing, everything was good.

The hotel is incredibly charming and offers a fantastic taste of Florentine style, right in the heart of Florence. There's no better location! Everything was perfect, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

The only things that I didn’t like were: whilst the room was a fine temperature with just a fan, the ceiling fan was very noisy so we couldn’t sleep with it on. Also whilst we didn’t mind the shared bathroom, there were quite a few rooms using it so you had to wait a while to use it. Also, whilst this was fine for us, there were a lot of stairs so not very accessible for those who struggle with stairs/mobility.

The hotel decor and architecture was amazing. The room was a great size and not too warm despite no air con. The foyer area and bathroom were beautiful too. Location was great and everything was very easy. Would love to come back to Florence and would stay here again in a heart beat.

Our room had a window facing the other side of the building, like a small courtyard, so it was always dark. We had to close the curtains due to the closeness of the other building, which caused us to turn the light on even during the day. The photos of the double room with a shared bathroom on the webpage belong to the other rooms with more sunlight, which was surprising. The kettle wasn't in the room, and it was downstairs, so it wasn't practical. We didn't experience any issues with the shared bathroom situation except for some disrespectful guests who left the bathroom in an indecent condition. There wasn't any outside noise during our stay; however, we experienced noise and disturbance in the early mornings coming from the premises. Contrary to the friendly housekeepers, the host was a bit uncaring during the stay, particularly at the check-out.

Great location, decent cleanliness, spacious rooms, friendly housekeepers

there wasn’t a toilet in the room, not a problem as sharing was not bad but it’s something to bear in mind.

we had a peivate terrace attached to our room & the room was big and spacious. The hotel is stunning.

I stayed here during a heat wave, the fan was not enough to keep me cool during the night.

The location is perfect, the place has an old but very elegant style (I love it), I think it matches with the whole Florence vibe.
