Pleasant stay, very convenient location with plenty of good eateries and bars nearby. Clean and comfortable bed, could do with firmer pillows, nice seating area in the room. Nice clean bathroom, typically Italian breakfast for 7 euro. Would stay again for the location.

There was a lot of “self help” required. The desk shuts down at 5ish and it’s back till around 8. Breakfast is optional at this “B&B”, but it’s only €7. The housekeeping was excellent and the shower was great.

This B&B is in a perfect location for walking around Florence. You are near enough to most of the famous sights and there are many good eating places nearby. Luciano, the proprietor, had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.

The location is perfect, and the tiny hotel is perfect too, lovely spacious rooms, well-appointed and with excellent bathrooms. All the charms of an old historic building but every modern convenience as well. And the staff could not be more helpful and kind. My family stayed here in 1996, and we loved it then, but it has been very much upgraded since then. I would never think of staying anywhere else in Florence.

Fabulous stay at hotel Locanda Orchidea

Recently returned from a few days at hotel Locanda Orchidea. The room was exactly like the pictures, location is fabulous in walking distance of all the main sights. The Duomo is at the top of the street. Breakfast was good, and the host very friendly. I would definitely recommend if you are staying in Florence and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Comfy Florence stay in the heart of the city

Wonderful stay here for 4 nights in Florence. The location is excellent for walking to see the major sites. The great part is how quiet it was. Our room was on the second level of the B&B’s part of the building which faced the inner courtyard and was SO quiet (even tho it was near a popular intersection of restaurants that were very busy at night). We had the 3 person room (as it was all that was left when we booked), so the room was quite large. The bathroom had a tub/shower combo & lots of towels. The beds were comfy-firm (king sized) and the a/c worked great. There’s a small elevator if your bags are heavy. The breakfast in the morning is excellent - seating in the bright, sunny area adjacent the reception area. Incl several baked goods (croissants, buns, cakes, tarts), sliced meat/cheese, scrambled eggs. Cereals, yogurts, fruits, juices and a great coffee machine (espresso, latte, americanos). Would absolutely stay here again.

Best Locanda in Firenze

My stay at Locanda Orchidea was nothing short of phenomenal — a hidden Florentine gem nestled in the heart of the city, where history whispers through ancient walls and hospitality feels like a warm embrace. Every corner radiated charm, from the peaceful courtyard to the elegantly restored rooms that felt like a dream from another century. Waking up to the gentle light of Florence and stepping outside to find the Duomo just minutes away was pure magic. It wasn’t just a stay — it was an experience steeped in beauty, comfort, and timeless Italian soul.

Gostamos bastante

No geral é um ótimo local, com localização excelente. Host flexível e nos ajudou a carrega as malas. Quarto grande, limpo e com boa infraestrutura tanto do quarto quanto do banheiro. Os únicos pontos negativos foram: cobertura do wi-fi que não chegava na cama, café da manhã não incluso (somente com custo adicional de 7 Euros por dia) e barulho a noite, por estar acima de uma rua movimentada com bares ao redor.

Sentralt og hyggelig.

Hyggelig og sentralt bosted. Vi hadde problemer med å komme inn fordi resepsjonen stengte kl 17, og vi ankom en time senere. Det ble en del digitale vansker før vi var inne på rommet. Etter det var alt greit.
