This place is way too expensive for how little they offer—there is no breakfast, staff closes up by 6pm and the room itself was really dirty. The shower would flood every time we used it, and there was dirt and grime on the shower floor. The beds weren’t the most comfortable, but the main problem was that they had no fitted sheet, just a top sheet thrown over the mattress. The mattress itself was scratchy and wasn’t the cleanest, so it was gross when the top sheet slid off and I’d wake up on the mattress underneath. The floor in the room was dirty, there were stains on the spare blankets, the locks to the room were finicky, etc etc. I’m not usually one to complain about hotels, and I have definitely stayed in worse; but when you’re charging almost €200 per night you should at least make sure your rooms are clean. You are basically paying for location alone with this hotel—the one upside to this place is how close you are to some of the main attractions of Florence, and some amazing restaurants.

Please see My message to the management and still awaiting a response. Frustrating to say the least Even though it’s our last day today I wanted to bring to your attention the the conditions of the room given to us , the fridge closet door broken, the washroom water keeps flooding the bathroom, mold on the shower area, bathroom door broken, dust under the couches… I did bring this to the receptionists attention but nothing was done about it. I would hope that if you charge people full price then at least have things clean and in good condition. Swati

We didn’t know what to expect after reading some of the reviews. As the name says, Residenza d’Epoca, it is an old building without an elevator, but its charm makes up for it. If you expect a 5 star hotel with 5star amenities, then look elsewhere. The place is clean, has AC, hot water, and is close to everything. There is reception only between 10-6 (I believe), so you can ask for necessities during those times. We enjoyed our stay!

It’s perfectly situated, but poor lighting in the stairs is dangerous. I had a scary fall since I couldn’t see the dark black stairs.

The property lacks an elevator, making it shore with luggage. The air conditioning condensation made us put towels under it to control the water. The shower plug up but staff took care of the issue right away. Love the ladies working counter, friendly and helpful. I also liked the space room provided. I would recommend for a visit to Florence, just don’t expect the Marriott.

Great location to the centre and short walk to the Duomo. Beautiful building and room with plenty of space. Bed was too firm for my liking and pillows were old and well used. 30min walk from the train station.

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!!

This was our first visit to Florence. Property is in a very convenient location, walkable to most destinations within Florence. Room was comfortable although you do not have room controls for heat or air so luckily weather was very tolerable during our visit. They do not do room service unless you request it but did leave plenty of clean towels and toilet paper out. Be prepared for stairs and with large luggage it is a workout. Overall our stay was very good!

The property is an old building, which is better taken care of would be a beautiful building. Located in a very central part of town , walkable to anything you may need such as market, bakeries, restaurants and shops.the bedding looked dirty and old and no elevator. Other than that, what you’re paying for is the location.

A nice stop at Florence between Venice and Rome
Very friendly staff and easy check in. The unit was spacious, clean, and looked the same as that they advertised. If I could comment on one thing I would suggest to add a ventilation fan to the washroom on the unit.

We completely enjoyed our stay at Residenza d'Epoca Borgo Albizi. It is not your typical hotel. There is no daily housekeeping, and no staff is on hand beyond the afternoon office hours. But, the location is fabulous, central to everything. Although we were not out at the late hours of the night, it was safe and secure, a little like having a flat in town. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

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.
