Location was perfect, close walk from central train station. Also a short walk to center of Florence. The street at night turned into an eating street. Friendly, family run accomodation Rooms were large enough for two

Amazing location, really friendly staff. Room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Really good to stay at a solo traveller, very safe. Breakfast was good each morning
Just a little kitchen area to use during the day (kettle etc).

Fantastic atmosphere. The hotel is actually a series of rooms on the 3rd floor of an 18th Century palazzo on a narrow pedestrian road near the centre of Florence. The owners also reside there and are very helpful and friendly, at all hours. The breakfast room has a winding staircase, frescoes on the walls and a view of the Duomo in the mid-distance. There was a bug net over the window which allowed us to keep the window open rather than using the air-cond. The Merlini is just an 8 minute walk from the Duomo and 15 mins from the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio. Plenty of restaurants in the area. 10 mins walk from the station, if luggage is not too heavy. Otherwise a 12 euro taxi.
Difficult to find as it's on the 3rd floor of a building that also has other small hotels. Once found, the lift works well.

Highly Recommend! We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed being close to the tourist attrations while also being a minutes walk to authentic local eateries. The room was very comfortable with a lovely courtyard view (and could see top of Duomo). Safe location and friendly staff; this should be a higher rated hotel!
You do need to ring the doorbell to enter the property, but we waited no more than 20 seconds each time. If anything, I felt like a bother. The bells of the church ring early in the morning, but that should be expected anywhere near the city center.

Friendly staff and great location. Easy walk to train station. Easy walk to Duomo. Lots of food options around. Very nice bathroom.
Windows open to street, so it can be noisy at night. There is a hostel next door. No food/dining at the hotel. No fridge or microwave in room.

This Hotel is awesome. Very quiet and comfy. It is located at the 3rd floor, you need to take the elevator or stairs. I didnt have the breakfast so not sure about that. But the property is QUIET and clean. The Bathroom is fully renovated. Florence is small, you can walk everywhere from here. Doumo is very close. I highly recommend this Hotel and I would stay here again if I were to visit Florence again. Yes, you need to ring the bell and someone will come out to open the door for you, didn't bother me, more security I am guessing. A very nice Hotel.
Nothing really
