I never forget this trip!

I was in Florence for a week studying. and I had to find a place that was both comfortable and affordable. I was a little nervous about the shared bathroom situation. but there was two on my floor and it wasn't an issue at all really. the people who work here were always friendly and helpful. I really have no issues. I had an awesome stay.

Given that this was hostel-type accommodation with shared bathrooms and no breakfast, it was comfortable, clean, the room was excellent, and the location in central Florence was ideal.

The shared bathroom was really nice and clean. Loved the area and antiquity of the building, but it can get very loud at night due to the building’s location.

I absolutely LOVED IT. It’s located at the second floor of this building or palace. Upon arrival, you KNOW it will be classic, detailed chic…Elegant with details. I loved my bedroom and their bathrooms!!! Thank you Vincenzo for your warm and friendly welcoming. He made sure I was ok at all times. You have coffee and tea in the kitchen area. It’s close to everything since it’s centered in the city.

Good value and pleasant stay in heart of Firenze

Hotel is clean and well maintained The room was orderly and functional. Location is a plus for me In Europe 2nd floor really means 4 flights of stairs so be prepared to pull your luggage quite a ways.

What was not mentioned was the property is 500 years old and a former home of the Medici family. Like staying in a palace. For example 15 ft timbered ceilings, large windows withy what looked like original hardware. Definitely a remarkable facility. It is on the second / third floors with no elevator.

Great location

Staff were really friendly and check in was smooth. Details were sent on how to find the property which was a bit complicated only thing missing was that you needed to ring doorbell before you got keys ( we worked it out) Really central for Florence, great restaurants nearby. Downside 4 flights of stone steps and no lift also shared toilet and the shower is literally a cubicle in corner of room

Beautiful Firenze.

Great old property and the staff were wonderful. The location was superb, walking distance to central Firenze. You could see the Duomo lit up at night from our window! My only criticism is that the air conditioning was not that affective in the building. But it is to be expected in these old buildings. Great hotel though, would highly recommend.

We stayed 2 nights @ the Hotel Bavaria. I don't think we had the best room but we were fairly comfortable. There is no A/C, a fan was supplied but unfortunately the one we had did not work well & did stop working. The fan was replaced but it was noisy. Wifi worked well, bed was comfortable, lots of hangers in the closet, and there was a safe & kettle. No TV. Our room had a sink & shower, toilet was down the hall. There were 2 communal bathroom and both were clean & well presented. There was never any coffee in the communal breakfast room, just packages of instant coffee & sugar only. No fridge. The rooms in a historic building (16th century?) so it was like staying in a castle and that was pretty awesome. Climbing up the stairs was brutal even though we were prepared for that. The location was perfect, short distance to the heart of Florence If ever in Florence again, would be happy to stay here again.
