Breakfast was really good. Room was spacious. Checking in I found was a bit of a hassle, as it’s at a different hotel/location. There’s also no reception/hotel rep at the B&B that’s available at all times. Also wished breakfast was held at an earlier time. It’s from 8:30am, however, the other hotel did accommodate us with breakfast at that location from 7:30am.

The bed was comfortable although the pillows were flat and hard. Decent sized room with ensuite. Only one window shutter worked properly. There was an adjoining room door that was held closed by a fixed desk. You could hear the people next door showering. We were 2 females travelling alone so were a little uneasy about this. Shower was nice and worked well although rust/dirt marks around the shower fixings. Good location. Breakfast staff was lovely and reasonable continental breakfast. There was a delivery at 4:30am one morning which was very loud. Air conditioning available but was set to 22°. The accommodation was OK and Florence was stunning!

This b&b is bare bones, but perfectly situated at the end of a pedestrian street leading to downtown Florence. The “hi-speed wifi” was extremely slow and cut out multiple times. To access the internet, we had to hotspot. Our room was excruciatingly hot and the air conditioner didn’t work. Set to the lowest 18 degrees, the room stayed around 29 degrees. Situated across from community garbage drop off, opening the windows to get some air resulted in super loud garbage bin noises all night long. However, it’s conveniently close to laundromats, high end shopping, late night bars and the downtown core is a 25 minute walk away, down said pedestrian street full of charming shops.

check in a nightmare, do not recommend

the check in process was SO FRUSTRATING. We arrived to the physical address of the room (B&B Santa Maria del Fiore, Via Antonio Scialoja) - then we realized we had to park and walk around the block to get to the front desk and get our key card. We then walked back to the apartment and used the key card to check in. The front desk is in the building of FORTE16 Apartments. The bathroom door was stuck when we arrived. We called the front desk and they had someone come to fix it. The room was small- we hardly had any space on either side of the king size bed to unpack our suitcases. Bathroom was small and had a pocket door- so the fact that the door didn't close was a problem, because the toilet was only a few feet from the bed! There were no hooks to hang up towels in the bathroom. There wasn't even a soap dish to put the bar of soap in- there was very little room to even put our toothbrushes on. The reason we booked this hotel was because it looked clean and simple and that there would be a concierge there to help us park the car and give us advice on things to do in Florence. This turned into a DIY stay which was really frustrating. We had planned to use the hotel valet, but We managed to find street parking and pay using the app easy park. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful- but it was so frustrating that they were 1.5 blocks away from our actual room. FORTE16 Apartments looked quite nice- i wish we stayed there! No breakfast included. Do not recommend

Really not a bed-and-breakfast since breakfast is not included. Even though they advertise that it is. Poor check in directions in Orbitz. Once you do check in you have to walk around the block and try to find the building where they supposedly bed-and-breakfast exist. It is a 3 x 5 sign not clearly marked. No elevator so you’re carrying your luggage upstairs. Once in the room, the room was wonderful. The area around once you got used to it was very nice.
