Accommodation was good, no frills, but then you should not expect any at this style and price of the room. It was very clean , a good modern bathroom. Important you advise of arrival time as a member of staff welcomes you , and opens up for you.There is no other staff on duty in the property. Road outside rather noisy at night.

We had a wonderful stay in Camera Giglio. The highlight of the clean, comfortable space was the terrace accessible directly from our room with a table and 2 chairs for enjoying a bottle of Chianti after a day out and about. For 10€ per person extra, the host Angelica provides breakfast on the lower part of the delightful terrace that features a few tables and seating for lounging. Angelica was very helpful before and during our stay. She ordered a taxi for us for a very early checkout to catch a train to Salerno and to get to the meeting point for our Tuscan Wine Tasting tour. The neighborhood is quiet and felt very safe. Since we are older and have limits to the distances we can walk, we only wish we realized it was further from central Florence than expected. Prepare for 10 minute taxi ride to popular spots like Piazza Santa Maria Novella and the main train station. You will need to call for a taxi because there doesn't appear to be any nearby taxi stands where you can easily walk to. Flagging taxis on the street, of course, is not done in Florence. Also note while towels and a bath mat are provided, small washcloths are not. Those are small details though that are just good to know. We will definitely stay here again.

It is clear the owners care about the space and had good communications before arrival. We were able to walk to our destinations. The rooms likely vary. We had the Tulip room and it was not well represented on the site. Its bathroom and shower were very small and the room could use a refresh. However, for the price and location, it was acceptable.

Disliked: Amenities
The place was ok, but the pictures made it look much nicer. It had limited AC in beastly hot weather, no refrigerator in the room for cold drinks, and the shower was tiny. Also, with the staff saying towels wouldn't be replaced daily, there should be adequate spots to hang them to dry. The staff, when there, were very pleasant.

Great property and stay! The room was so cute and stylish, and the balcony was such a treat. The balcony photos posted don’t do the property justice. We ordered breakfast and it was delicious and plentiful. The check in process was good, just be sure to message the property with an ETA so that they can expect you. When you arrive, buzz the doorbell near the door to be let it. We found that part a bit confusing, but luckily some tenants of the building were downstairs and guided us. For walking to the main attractions, the hotel is in a safe neighborhood and it’s not too long of a walk. About 15-20 minutes. Would definitely stay here again.
