Survivalists welcome
The whole place is more like a run-down East European student hostel we all experienced in the 80's and 90's as we grew up. The problem is that now we live in 2018 and this hotel is still sub-standard. So the "hotel" is located between the 3rd and 5th floors in the building. Luckily the lift works. Hardly anything else does. The reception area including the bar is something out of the 60's dolce vita, i.e. badly needs a refurb. Wait till you see your room! No TV or minibar/fridge, but the biggest joke is the bathroom (see the picture), obviously walled off the original room offering you about a 1x2m bathroom space, i.e. basin, bidet, toilet and "shower-above-toilet" all crammed in there. The whole thing makes you think you are in some youth correctional facility on Soviet territory in the 60's. If you want breakfast? 8 euros. If you want air-con? 5 euros/night. Mille grazie! Being on the top floor in July and having no window, the only other option we had was to leave the shutter and the balcony door open at night. All mosquitos are welcome! The next problem? It's one big balcony accessible by all other rooms. Meaning, any loud-mouthed drunkard could have walked in at night. I slept with a knife close to my reach. Summary: if you are a fan of Walking Dead, you will most likely enjoy the place.

I would recommend going elsewhere if you can.
This hotel is situated in an apartment building, with the 3rd floor and up being the hotel. In the bathroom, there was a door with a turn lock. The outside of the door was a hallway. Anyone with a butter knife or key could open the door and get into the bathroom, and then my room. I didn't feel secure. The room was rather filthy, the dresser felt like it would fall apart and fall down at any minute, and there was no air conditioning. On my last day, I saw that they charged 5 Euro a night for air conditioning - that's like charging for a pillow. The staff was friendly, but it didn't make up for the poor conditions of the hotel. The free WiFi was the only highlight of my stay. Luckily, I just used the room for sleep as I was out most of the time.

Comfortable hotel in quiet location
My boyfriend and I were greeted by extremely friendly and helpful staff. Every person working the front desk was very pleasant. The breakfast was buffet-style and had a lot more options than some of the other hotels we've stayed at (including hard boiled eggs and a variety of fruit and yogurt). The coffee/cappuccino machine was a bonus! The location was perfect- just down the street from the Duomo, which made getting back each night very easy. Although an old building, the room was comfortable and clean and there was enough space for two. The only issue was Mosquitos in the room. We opened the balcony doors only once during our three-night stay, when we first arrived. There were constantly Mosquitos flying around the room and although we kept killing them, they never went away. There were marks on the wall where past guests had killed the bugs. Other than that we had a very comfortable stay!

Nice hotel
The rooms are not small but on the other side it is a little uncomfortable when you have to turn your key in everytime you go out and come back and get it again so you can go into your room. The rooms are not too private since your neighbors can hear and you can hear what they say. It is an overall a good stay. We didnt have any problems because we stayed all the time out we just used the room to sleep and shower

Terrible hotel, noisy and cramped
I thought this was a good deal for a B&B.. As the saying goes you get what you pay for. The room we got was tiny, almost made me clausterphobic. The bathroom was disgusting, sewer smell and the toilet within the "shower" space. The walls are paper thin and the hotel was full of students for the fall semester from WA. Loud students, slamming of doors well past a decent hour. I'm sorry I didn't read the reviews more carefully, I would go anywhere else but here!!

two nights in Florence
This hotel is rated with two stars and it is ondeed a two stat hotel. The location is great, in a walking distance to old Florence. Rooms are clean. And if you are looking for a budget hotel, this is a gerat hotel, considering the prices in Florence. Airconditing costs additional 5 euros a day. breakfast is very basic, so it is OK. If you are in Florence for a shortt sightseeing tour, that is a reasonable hotel.

Close to everything and good for the price
Fabulous location, close to the Academia where you can view the David. Easy walk to see fabulous architecture. The service was good and the breakfast too. The hotel is old and a rundown. Be aware although there is a lift, you still have stairs so pack lightly! It was brilliant for me as I basically only slept there and straight after breakfast I was out exploring. Not a hotel for you if you want to lounge around in the evening.

Nice place to stay
Nice Hotel however, it was too far of a walk from the subway. Friendly staff and no A/C just a floor fan is provided. Room is clean with a nice breakfast
