Hotel balcony Florence
Excellent location, neat and tidy but a bit dated. Breakfast was basic. Friendly and service minded staff. A good place for a few nights if you want to stay in the city center.

Perfect location and perfectly nice
This place is no frills for sure and the room is small. However, it was affordable and in a perfect location about halfway between the main train station and the Duomo. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was continental. Just what you need to get some fuel in the morning and get going.

A great place to spend the night while visiting Florence. It is 5-minute walk from the train station. It is within walking distance of most things in the Florence center. Clean, friendly, practical. I has a small room with a bed and the essentials. But what more did I need. I only spent the night sleeping. For that, is was quiet and comfortable—an excellent value for the price.

Very pleasant stay, I would return
The staff/owners of this place are the finest and friendly people and I enjoyed my stay a lot thanks to them. The hotel felt homey and comfortable although of course has some areas of improvement, but overall I feel at home and I’d return. I had no problem with the wifi, my only inconvenient was that the actual balcony attracts mosquitoes, so I would advise to spray some repellent.

I will not pay my entire stay at this Hotel. The property is horrible. The bed was broken, my son suffered a back injury. No breakfast offered, charged as more than expected. the room was so tiny and the staff is not speaking English.
