The location is very convenient. However, there’s no place to put shampoo in the shower room, so I had to leave it on the floor, which was inconvenient. The smallest room is a bit too small, so I’d recommend getting a slightly larger one instead.

Excellent location in Florence. 5 minute walk from the train station and close to all the sites. Plenty of food options, and if you are really hard up there is a McDonalds on the corner. Quiet with great Wi-Fi.

Great location! Very comfortable B&B!

It was excellent! Great location! Even though the streets were very busy, we didn't hear a sound at night and the beds were very comfortable! Check-in was great even after hours, it was very easy and instructions were very clear! Everything was clean and enjoyable. I wished I would have stayed longer. I would recommend anyone this B&B if you are going to Florence.

Excellent option in Firenze - recommended!

Excellent option in Florence. Great hotel, 5 minutes walking from the train station. Great benefit for us: independent check-in using codes for the different hotel doors. In our case, we knew we would arrive late after 10 pm, but we weren't sure of the time and it could also happen that we arrived even later during the night. So being able to fully check in by ourselves was highly appreciated. Very comfortable and nicely decorated room with everything we needed. Kind personnel. Breakfast is offered in a café across the street, it is okay but could be better (perhaps include something extra). Anyway, good enough to start the day quickly. I would come back to this hotel in my next stay in Florence.

The staff was very nice and friendly. The room was ok for what we needed. There was however mold in the shower, the bed was not comfortable and the “balcony” overlooked a nasty smelly area. It was next to the train station so nice that we didn’t have to go far. If I had not of been with my husband I would not have stayed in this area. It’s very very busy and not a super safe area. My fault I guess for booking in the area.

Before you back ask if the construction noise is completed. The room was too small to open a small suitcase and construction on the building next door starts at 7:30 am. So loud! Not worth the money at all. Stay elsewhere.
