Poor
The location was fine.
First of all, I think the owner had a lot of balls asking me for cash instead of taking my credit card for the tax. This is against the law as far as I know in Italy so it turned me off right away I would never recommend this place second it had bugs flying around third we got Three sleeves of an instant coffee to last us four days and nights five it was like trying to get into a prison there was so many locks and doors and the keys really didn’t work that well so that was kind of frustrating. It was better before we got there, but we are very disappointed, especially in the person that charged me cash and my daughter-in-law told her no, so she told her it would be one euro then to use your credit card Less than 12 hours later I sent a message asking for my euros back and she told me they were already in the bank. I would not recommend this place to anyone if you want to continue to advertise for them. Well, I’ve stayed at a lot of places and this was by far worse.

Location is amazing with easy access to everything in Florence and train station.
It’s an older building so many doors to go through with different keys. The room also has to be locked by a key from inside. Nothing bad, just a fact for people’s reference.

Disappointing
Serena, at the reception, was thoughtful, kind, helpful. Check in and out was easy.
It was a fire trap. So many doors with keys to go through just to get to our room and to make our way out of the building. One key was particularly difficult to figure out (both entering and exiting) and the lighting was poor in that hallway and others. Others have noted how the elevator is slow. This is true and that would be ok — but it’s not ok if guests on other floors also need to use it around the same time. We waited 15 minutes on one occasion in sweltering heat. Because of an injury, we were not able to walk up the many stairs.
Appreciate having a few treats in the morning and electric kettle. When our room was “made up” the second morning, no additional instant coffee or treats were provided. No toilet paper provided on the second day either.
We were in Florence in extremely hot weather, so it’s no wonder the air conditioning in our room was inadequate. We human beings have destroyed our planet— climate change and so forth. However, the reception on the 3rd floor had excellent air conditioning. Would be nice to provide that to guests for a more comfortable stay.

The hosts were wonderful people. So kind and helpful.
It’s very dated indeed and the room looked on to a small dark courtyard where the external lift was. It’s quite a faff to get in to and out of with different codes and keys and things.

The location which is close to the major sites, the room itself which is spacious, the amenities, and it is rich in history, and most of all, Luciano ,the host, who has been very warm, helpful, and has given us a short important history of the building itself.

The location was very central to everything. The host was very hospitable and informative. Amazing place.
The mattress was a tas too soft and was 2 super single combined hence leaving a *empty* space in between.

Returning to Florence after 12 years, we discovered this exceptional family-run hotel that exceeded all expectations. From the detailed pre-arrival instructions to the warm farewell, every aspect of our stay was memorable.
The hotel takes security seriously with a four-key system to access the rooms. Our spacious accommodation came with thoughtful touches including a welcome bottle of wine and daily refreshed snacks.
Alex, the owner's son, was the perfect host. His restaurant recommendations were spot-on – leading us to authentic, reasonably priced local establishments and a fantastic gelateria. Each suggestion proved to be a culinary delight without breaking the bank.
What truly sets this hotel apart is its personal touch. On our final evening, Alex even called his father (the hotel owner) to say goodbye to us. This gesture perfectly exemplified how they treat guests like family rather than customers.
With its blend of professional service, genuine warmth, and excellent amenities, this hotel offers everything you need for a perfect Florence stay. We left feeling like part of their extended family and will definitely return.
Verdict: Highly recommended for travelers seeking authentic Florentine hospitality with a personal touch. A perfect example of why family-run hotels often provide the most memorable stays in Italy.

This is a family run business and the owners were wonderful
It is a very old building and the AC could barely keep up with extreme hot days.
