The hotel is a short walk from the train station, the duomo, the market and many places to eat and drink. Check in and check out was smooth, even though we arrived after reception hours. No frills, but it was a comfortable stay for two nights for us.

To enter in the B&B it is very simple just to ring the door bell there is a very large plaque indicating the position.

What I liked most is the location however it’s a residential home and therefore it’s hard to find. What I didn’t like most was calling the office no one answer! But when it’s answered, she by accident connected three lines and I was able to hear her gossip conversation with someone and didn’t even answer my call.

Nice place. Clean. Easy transit.
Highly recommend this place! Great area of the city, east transit and lots to do nearby. They did come in the room during afternoon and turned off the AC so remind them not to do that. I’d stay here again for sure though!

The room is not too bad itself but the noise is unbearable, at least for me... This hotel is located in a building that has 3 floors & each floor is a different hotel. We were on the 1st floor so it was VERY close to activities down at the street. The hotel is also very close to the market which is very convenient (btw, you have to visit the market & try the food over there) but at the same time, it was very noisy even at late night since the market closed at midnight. We couldn't really open the window even it was so nice out & if you're a light sleeper like me, it'll be very hard. We stayed there for 2 nights & sadly I didn't sleep much. :( The breakfast is a little skimpy, very few choices. It seems like they "limit" 2 eggs per guest since they only put out 4 eggs for us & never refill the bowl. I don't think they serve anything hot but they do have a self serve cappuccino machine for you to use during breakfast time. Overall is ok but I don't think I'll go back since the noise is a big problem for me...

Loved service and room. Would definitely go again.
Matilda was great. She helped with finding places to see in Florence and even called them to see how long the lines were. She was great and so was the room. It was perfect for my daughter, grandson and I because even though it was one room it had an area semi-separated and he could have a little privacy. The shower was fantastic and had lots of hot water.

Booked for 3 nights stay. Other than the poor smell , room was clean and we'll updated. Hotel is in a very busy and loud area. Windows keeps shaking every time a car or scooter drive by. Was not able to sleep after 6am due to loud noise off the street , would suggest investing in double glazed windows.

Spacious bnb at foot steps of train station
it is located on the first floor of an old building and the rooms are fully renovated. We booked a triple room in the corner and it was very big and cool in summer. Lift and air conditioning was available. Wifi in room was weak and unstable at first but after reset router in the room, it worked properly. Breakfast is basic but adequate. Great place to stay if you are travelling by train.

dishonest, and rude
Please read this before choosing this hotel. I am sharing my experience, hopefully it would help you not go through the same experience. I booked this hotel for 4 nights, and I paid in advance. I was traveling through Italy with my family and Florence was a stop. This hotel has a limited time window for checking (till 8pm). Unfortunately my train from Venice was delayed and I missed the 8pm deadline. They immediately messaged me that I am considered a no show, I called and emailed, letting me them know that I am on the train and will be there in a few minutes. I get there a few minutes later and to my disbelief they refused to open the door. I stayed the night in a hotel nearby and went in the next morning. They told me that they gave away my room last night and since I prepaid, there will be no refund. The 400$ they ripped me off is not a big number compared to the whole trip cost. Just be ware, its always risky to deal with dishonest people.

The hotel was clean and very close to the train station. We found that the hotel was a little noisy though. We could hear the phone ringing at the reception and people I. The stairway. Very modern looking.

Elegant room with great service
A very nice place that is very close to the station as well as the Mercato (excellent food) and also very close to all the sight seeing places and shopping areas. A little noisy in the night as our room window faced a pizzeria. The room was well appointed and wonderful. Air conditioning worked well and the breakfast was great. Daily maid service was an added bonus. Overall a nice place that I can recommend without hesitation.

A nice place to stay
We had the triple room at the corner of the building with little balconies. Very clean with comfortable beds. A little noisy at night, but that didn't really bother us; and they provide ear plugs... Super close by foot to the Galleria dell' Academia (David), and the Piazza di San Giovanni (Cathederal...). I had emaled before our visit to find out where the parking was. Sara got right back to me with the info that their partner garage is "garage nazionale" located a few meters before the residenza. We were advised to park first and then check in. At arrival it looked like the garage couldn't take any more cars, but when I mentioned we were staying at the residenza, the attendent squeezed us in. 25 euros for 24 hours. Very convenient location, you don't need to carry your luggage very far. The residenza now has its own on-site breakfast room! Nice little spread that gets you going in the morning.

Excellent alternative to an ordinary hotel
It is not a full scale hotel, and staff is only available during the day. At night you enter the building yourself with the keys supplied. Located less than 10 minutes from main train station. Room is very clean and comfortable. Wifi strong and stable. Good breakfast arranged by a cafe just around the street corner. Close to the main market with many choice of eating places there (still more on the street around as well). A little bit of walking to the main catheral and the city centre and galleries / museums. My suggestion for improvement: to add some kind of shelf in the shower cubicle for holding the shampoo, etc. And to change the room lock so that it can be locked from the inside without using the key.

Great Location
Hotel Residenza le Fonticine was a few block from the train station which made for an easy trek with suitcases. We were able to walk to all attraction, a bit far if you want to cross the bridge however very doable. The hotel room was quite small so I would opt for 1 up from the cheapest room. Staff was friendly enough however not available 24 hrs. The internet connection was very bad…. I would be hard pressed to say they offer free wifi. Overall it was a great location but nothing special in regards to the hotel.
