ottimo

In realtà non abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel per un problema al bagno condiviso della camera, però ci hanno trovato subito un'altra stanza che era molto più vicina al centro della città. Sono stati efficienti e bravi nel risolvere il problema.

The property owner deny my check in saying that no infant allow. And check in time is before 3pm sharp. She message me via expedia one day before my check in date say no late check in and no refundable. Beware of this scam hotel appartment. The contact number at expedia website is incorrect too.

Peor lugar

El peor lugar al que he llegado, no hubo nadie para recibir, solo una nota diciendo que el staff del hotel estaba a 20 metros en otro hotel, fue mentira no había otro hotel, estaba un teléfono de contacto que nadie contestó, al fin en otro teléfono contestó una mujer muy grosera diciendo que nada podía hacer. Tuve que conseguir de última hora otro hotel. Quiero me reintegren mi pago, esto fue un engaño y un robo

Locanda

Impossível dormir com tanto barulho. Janela nao é anti ruido. Ventilador nao atende ao calor no quarto. Pior de tudo é uma obra no prédio com operarios nos andaimes que podem ver tudo dentro do quarto. As cortinas são transparentes e eles conseguem nos ver. Prédio sujo. A entrada é as escadas eram sujas. —- Impossible to sleep with so much noise. Window is not anti noise. Fan does not respond to the heat in the room. Worst of all is a work in the building with operarios in the sheds that can see everything inside the room. The curtains are transparent and they can see us.

Not too good!

We arrived after the check-in time, at the door we found an envelope with my name and instructions, it cost us a lot of work to check in since everything was for instructions and there was nobody to ask, only a phone number to let them know that you arrive, the Main door is too small, hardly fits one person, it cost us a lot of work go through with our bags. the third day they supposedly did the cleaning (only the beds were made) they did not leave toilet paper, there were ants for all the furniture in the room, it had a strange smell if you did not turn on the air conditioning, they did not announce that there would be construction work around, So every day we had noise in the morning and the day we left our window the workers looked out our window and could see everything, there was no curtain. the method of communication of the place was by post it notes that they left you at the door to warn you of things, as for example that you will not forget to leave the city tax on the table. Also the last day the internet was not working but I think was a general issue in all the city. the only positive thing is the location.

Money stolen

My friend and I recently stayed at this place for three days and never met any of the staff. On our last night we went out for dinner for three hours, and left some of our cash hidden in our luggage. The next day, after checking out, we both realized some of the money left at the place was stolen. I lost about 100 pounds and my friend lost about 100 pounds and 100 euro. They did not take all of the money, but instead took a variety of bills, making it less noticeable at first glance. Because we had counted our money the night before, we are both certain that our money was stolen during the time we left the hotel. As travelers, it was extremely difficult to connect with the hotel staff as they were never to be seen. They were only available by phone and we did not travel with an international SIM card. Thereby we are writing this review to warn fellow travelers and for the hotel to get in touch with us to resolve this issue.

Boa localização e só!

Foi péssima, não havia banheiro privativo e além disso a pia fedia fossa e não tinha ar condicionado, não tinha ar condicionado no quarto e está um calor de 36° do verão europeu, a cortina não fechava toda a janela e estava tendo uma obra no prédio então não tinha privacidade, não é fácil achar o hotel rodei muito até conseguir achar, pois não tem nenhuma sinalização "grande" pro hospede ver e tem 2 lugares com número 7 no endereço. Quando cheguei tinha uma carta colada na porta do prédio do hotel pra eu saber o que tinha que fazer, parecia caça ao tesouro! Se você quiser falar com alguém tem que ligar ou se deslocar até outro lugar, lamentável.. E wi-fi não funcionava.. Enfim a única coisa boa que tenho a dizer é sobre a localização que sim era excelente, mas só.

Vergognoso

la gestione è poco seria in quanto usa eliminare le prenotazioni confermate, è successo a me e stava per succedere ad altri in mia presenza quando la signora cercava di rimediare al fatto di averci lasciato in mezzo ad una strada con in mano una email di conferma, e le vostre continue richieste di recensioni attestano che la mia prenotazione da qualche parte risultano. Purtroppo la struttura le ignora immagino in base al prezzo visto che io ho prenotato la "mia" matrimoniale per € 256,00 mentre chi vi ha alloggiato al mio posto ha pagato il doppio per gli stessi giorni.

Did not like that needed to confirm how to get in as no front desk. It isn't,t until you book the hotel it is mentioned that you need to get instructions. One couple who already got there from China who already paid did not realize this phoned their booking agency and found out their room was now not available and they lost their payment. Now they were trying to find a room at 8:30 at night. I had an experience that I was trying to call the hotel to get my instructions. I finally had to call expedia only to be told that they do not answer their phone untill 10:30 am. Lady who took payment abrupt. Wasn't given sightseeing pamphlet s and no area map. Overall would rate this room as a 1 out oh 5 due to staff and difficult y in signing in into room. Expedia should let people know about this room.

Small but good location

Overall, my husband and I had a pleasant stay at the Locanda San Giovanni. This is not a hotel so there isn't a front desk or someone you can easily speak to if you need something. You have to set up your check-in with the location 48 hours prior to your arrival and that whole process was a bit stressful as the phone numbers/email addresses that hotels.com provided were not correct. I had to call customer service 4 times and ended up getting 3 different phone numbers and 5 different email addresses, eventually one of the phone numbers worked (all the mail addresses bounced back except one) and it went to someone's mobile phone who told me someone would be there at the time we were planning to arrive. Once we were at the location, the check-in process was simple. I loved the location of the Locanda as it's very close to the Dome and other sites that you'd want to see in Florence. There are restaurants and markets close by. The room and bathroom are tiny so be prepared to be in close quarters with whoever you're traveling with. The shower drained very slowly so I would have to turn the water off mid shower a couple times so the shower wouldn't overflow. Although the building/room was older, it was clean and tidy.

Хорошее расположение

Это не отель, скорее частный сектор. На 3-м этаже в обычном подъезде многокомнатная квартира, в комнатах есть санузел. Завтрака соответственно нет. Ресепшена тоже нет! Надо заранее предупреждать хозяйку о времени приезда, иначе может быть закрыто, и тогда придется звонить по указанному на двери номеру. Чисто, убирали каждый день. Кровать сломалась, починили за пол дня. Окна выходили во двор, где было абсолютно спокойно. Комната маленькая, но в целом уютно. Душевая кабинка тесная. WiFi работал нормально. Практически центр Флоренции, 2 минуты до Дуомо! В целом очень неплохо.
