My phone this is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at due to the customer service or maybe lack thereof of a customer service and more. Just a service. Everything I reported, I was asked to prove from the lack of amenities to the fact the bathroom had no soap in it. Obviously not been cleaned since the toilet was dirty upon arrival. I would never stay here again for the price as you are overpaying. There are other locations in the area that are most likely cleaner and more convenient.
The check-in location is 10 minutes away from your actual hotel where if you don't arrive in that 4-Hour window then you have to pay an extra 30. And the fact I can send screenshots of the amenities I was told I was going to receive and then say we still don't provide those. Sorry and not received anything from the hotel left me flabbergasted. In my room for two people I only received one cup to drink out of. It's the little things like this that lets me know that they are in it or the money. It almost seems like a scam at the end of the day since there's no ventilation in the bathrooms either
The place overall was just ok. It’s in a good close location to major points of Florence. I didn’t find it particularly clean we found hairs on pillows and on the sheets. Rooms are configured differently and our bathroom was downstairs in a basement space that was accessed via common stairs. It was spacious and clean with a jetted tub. None of that seems evident in the posting. Also not sure what they mean by listing breakfast as an amenity. The site is not staffed and check in was was multi step process. Likely won’t pick this place if I return to Florence.
This was not a great place to stay, very dirty shoeprints on ceiling totally worn out not at all what was on photos. Wifi did not work, there is a sculpture class and rave literally 5 feet outside the window, barely any hot water and no staff to help. When we ran out of toilet paper there was none either. This is a catfish hotel, never again!

Location excellent. No safe in the room. No plug in the sink. Sliding door of wardrobe kept falling off runner. Difficult to get in first door of building. Had to ring a number and heard something recorded in Italian, but still couldn’t access first door. Luckily managed to follow a resident inside and then the access was fine.
Walking distance from all shops and main city attractions. Very safe. You can hear all the noise from people going in and out since it’s an old structure but very secure and easy to get to everywhere within walking distance. Nice RR and great AC.
The piazza in which this hotel was in was very dirty we arrived at night and there were young people all over hanging out drinking and smoking all over, felt unsafe and was noisy
This is a beautiful apartment, perfectly located. Just be aware of the check in procedure to check in further away .

The hotel located near the central, everything is walkable distance, i liked it. The room is big and comfy, the only down side was the bathroom located outsise the room on hallway. Otherwise i highly recommend this place.
It is a disgrace that you put this on your site without warning.
There is no check in even though the paperwork said it was from 2pm to 7pm. I took a taxi from airport and got there at 6.45pm.a message said you had to go to,another place check in. If my sister had not gone earlier in the day I would have gotten no keys. The instructions of how to get in were terrible. After front door there were no names for the doors to use the second key.i tried every door and walked 56 stairs,three flights. I finally found some girls to help find a door that the key fitted. Finally we got into a door and then a corridor and third door inside had a name. I was about to give up. I will never use your site again. The room was fine but whoever manages it is horrendous and it is false advertising by orbitz as it is a room that is air B and B .i expected a room iin a place with a check in on site. Disgraceful.
The location of this property was wonderful. The hotel is right on the Piazza Santissima Annunziata, a 5 minute walk to the Duomo and directly behind the Accademia. The room was very clean. There really weren't amenities other than a fridge and hot water heater. A microwave would have been nice. The beds were quite comfortable but more pillows would also be a nice addition. The room was very basic but worth the low price we paid.

Great location, low cost.
My Husband and I stayed two nights. Location was really good, Nice a clean and we got a fair price.
However, this is more an Air BnB type accommodation. Definitely not a Hotel.
-The bed was an uncomfortable cheap foam mattress.
-No bottle opener for wine.
-Needed 3 different keys to get into the building.
-Neighbors made a lot of noise one night.
Book in if you don't mind a rough night or two on the cheap. Got to a hotel if you want luxury. whoops.
Room was great but if you do not have a working cell phone in Italy, it was not possible to contact front desk via WhatsApp for some reason. As there is no reception in the building, you have to call before arrival to have someone meet you there. When I finally used someone else’s phone, the hotel employee met us there promptly.

Character charm in the heart of the city
I stayed with my 11 year old daughter. the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was characterful, clean and comfortable, though basic. The location was less than 5 minutes from the centre of Florence.
