Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The location is great--close to the train station, and also very close to the big market in Florence. Ten minutes' walk to the Duomo. The guesthouse was very clean, with a convenient kitchen--microwave, fridge, stove, drinkable water, etc. Paula was very kind. The only negative thing about this place is that there's no elevator and it's on the third floor--manageable with carryon luggage, but I can't imagine carrying a full suitcase all the way up (we stored ours in a luggage locker by the train station and just used our carryons).

Our room was cancelled, but not by us. So it was a terrible experience. We did not stay in Florence but went to Lucca

Wonderful people run this accomodation
The hosts are friendly, speak excellent English and go well out of their way to be helpful. They know lots about the area and can provide good advice. They even recommended and booked an excellent tour of the surrounding region for us - not pushy at all but I had looked at many other possibilities but the one they recommended was well suited to what we wanted and at a better price than I had researched. We had backpacks and there was enough room for us to unpack and wash our clothes and sort our stuff. We had to share a bathroom but that was not a problem - I think there are en-suite options available. The place is conveniently located to transport and to the main sights - the market is close as are heaps of good restaurants and bars.We got caught in a train strike (after we had checked out) but the hosts allowed us to come back and leave our bags, offered us help such as making calls on our behalf and use of WiFi and even gave us a key. They went well above what could be expected from a host.

Ideal Location, Hostel-style
Fantastic location and friendly staff. More like a hostel with private rooms. Shared bathroom wasn't a problem. Given a coffee pod to use in the coffee machine each morning, and free access to washing machine which was great!. Climbing 3 floors of stairs no problem if mildly fit.

Good find, good location, affordable
Great find and a good rate. Sort of a hostel, but with private rooms only. The owner is really friendly and has lots of information about Firenze. We were able to self check in late at night and then pay the following morning. Door codes were emailed that day. Our room was ok in size, bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Good location near the main train station and north of the major attractions. No breakfast.

Hostel in Florence.
A nice cheaper choice, close to the train station and everything of interest. The worst thing is having to carry your bags up several flights of stairs, but the owners son helped us do that and you only have to do it once. The other thing is having everyone share a bathroom, so more hostel than hotel really.

Nice room close to tourist area & train station
Lovely owners. Shared shower & toilet worked out OK. Only issue that it was located on 4th floor & no lift meant it was a struggle getting large heavy bags to the top floor. Had a washing machine. Much appreciated

Hotel in Florence
Room was on 5th floor with no elevator. Room and bathroom was clean. Mattress on twin beds were flat with not much cushion. Location of hotel was within walking distance of train station. Staff was very helpful and provided info about places to go and where to find them.
