It was not great. Had to walk to another place to drop our bags. Which was not communicated before. The bed was dirty. A fake pair of eyelash was found on the towel. The floor was filthy. The bed was broken with the straps being broken. It was very uncomfortable

MOHAMMAD

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel overall was clean and had a unique vibe — staying in an old building with a giant gate at the entrance gave me a nice feeling, almost like stepping back in time. However, there were some important downsides. We noticed quite a few cockroaches in the common areas, which was uncomfortable. Another key detail for future guests: the check-in process has strict rules. They charge 30€ for arrivals after 6 PM, and the office doesn’t open until 10 AM. Unfortunately, this meant we couldn’t leave our luggage early in the morning and ended up missing a museum reservation because we had to wait until the office opened. A staff member did show up earlier, but still told us we had to wait until 10. Additionally, storing luggage costs 5€ per bag, which is unusual compared to most hotels. In summary: the place is clean and atmospheric, but the extra charges, late office hours, and presence of cockroaches are important things to be aware of before booking.

Loctation!Location!Location!!

Location Location Location!! Everything was super close. Short walk to the Duomo and everything around it including restaurants. The only thing missing was a bit more of a kitchen space would be perfect. The shower glass wall needs some sealer at the bottom. Our flight was late and they went above and beyond to get us in late. Super friendly staff. Extremely clean. Luggage storage was available to us for €5 each bag…super convenient. We highly recommend and definitely stay again!!

Check in was at a different location. Were told check in was at 3 p.m. so left our bags at a paid facility only to be told the room was ready at 1:30 p.m.! They can keep your bags for a charge but the office closes at 6 p.m.! The room was small and looked nothing like the photos of it. The heating is centrally controlled and wasn't turned on when we were there and it was a cold room! The bathroom had mould in the shower and didn't really feel very clean. Great location but defintley overpriced for what you get for your money.

Beware of stairs

The room was good but walking down the stairs this morning, it was dark and the railing stops before the last step, my husband did not see it and fell very hard. We had to go very slow to go to a pharmacy to get a knee brace, cane and pain medication. It’s now evening and he is still in a lot of pain. Lighting should be installed on that stairwell even if it is motion detector lights. If you walk out of the office and turn right and walk up the first set of stairs, it is the next set of stairs at the bottom, the last one he could not see.

AVOID THIS PLACE!!!

Hotel is only open 4 hours a day and the entrance door is LOCKED, had to wait until someone left the building to check-in since they don’t answer the intercom either. Don’t come before 2pm because they aren’t there; definitely not after 6pm because you won’t have a place to sleep for the night. Staff was RUDE and LAZY. Rolling their eyes when you ask where your room is. No elevator. Room was dirty, bed was squeaky, AND THE WALLS WERE THIN. (ex: could hear the neighbors phone vibrate notifications… imagine what else.) Honestly, a hostel would be a better option than this hostile dreaded place. I’ve slept better on a bus. Creepy, bad vibes, haunted. Note on door said BEWARE. Scared me, prayed for my safety. Looks nothing like the photos posted online. Front desk bragged about being booked so: *** DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE. *** Refused to let all this ruin Florence (which was incredible!) Very disappointing to experience a miserable place that shouldn’t be working in hospitality.

First thing you will need to do is pick up the keys for the accommodation. The main office is located 3 minutes away. Although this was a bit inconvenient, the property was very communicative about this before our trip, so I was very aware and prepared. They also explain in detail the check-in instructions on their page. We stayed in the larger Leonardo room. Two floors up a couple short staircases, and a short staircase up to the room. The room is set up better for couples, or family with young children. Open concept. There are no doors to separate the bedroom from the sitting area. The sitting area does have two sleeping sofas. The amenities and outlets were limited. Room and bathroom were clean. Shower water got very hot which was nice. The office has very limited hours, so they asked us within the first hour of our stay if everything was working and if we needed anything. The A/C worked ok. Fantastic location! Within walking distance to restaurants and shopping.

It's not a hotel, just a room in some dude's apartment. It's not at the address listed, it looks nothing like the room you book, check in is via a shady office at the back of a car park at a different location, there's mold everywhere, the bed's broken, the electrics in the walls make a loud buzzing noise and after you check in they ask you to do maintenance on the property for them because it's in such bad condition even they're not sure if you have running water or working lights.

Relato da estadia

Importante dividir em partes. A localização é excelente, para quem busca estar perto de tudo, é o local certo. Quanto a comodidade não é tão bom, a cama não é boa e as vezes, a depender do tempo do banho, o chuveiro esfria, embora a ducha seja forte e boa. Não tem escada de acesso como eles mesmo informam e o local de acesso ao quarto é um pouco diferente para quem não está acostumado com o padrão Europeu.
