Le Stanze del Duomo, Florence

I'm always a little nervous and careful about where I stay when I travel alone. The Le Stanze Duomo ended up being perfect. The room matched the pictures I had seen online. The bathroom was a very nice size too which is not often the case in Europe. Most importantly, I felt very safe and comfortable. While it does not have a grand lobby on entry, the office and staff were very professional and helpful yet I was able to get a feel for what it might be like to live in Italy. Near the Duomo, there was always people around which helps make me feel safe when traveling alone. I was even able to walk around the area in the evening for some entertainment by musicians playing in the plaza. It was nice that something like this was close because I was often exhausted after a full day of sight seeing. I remember some reviewers commenting on the breakfast being at a restaurant down the street. I personally enjoyed that because it was very close yet I didn't feel like I was spending too much time in the hotel, which is not something I really want to do when I'm in a lovely place like Florence.

Extremely satisfied

Loved this place- minutes away from the Duomo!! Staff was so sweet!!

The staff is excellent,welcoming and extremely helpful. The check-in and check out were very easy. The room was not as comfortable and clean as we expected, the AC wasn't working properly but the great location and the amazing staff made our stay unforgettable.

We had a family room (1 double and 1 single). It was very spacious and much larger than the usual B&B rooms. The service is good. The breakfast is a short walk away but quite a good one, and on our way out to sightseeing. The only suggestion I have for the hotel staff to remind foreign travelers about validating bus and train tickets--there are inspectors in town who are targeting foreign travelers. We got caught and it was not a pleasant experience.
