Convenient.
The place is great considering that it’s relatively cheap. Me and a friend were traveling with luggage and were in Florence for just a day so the location was great for us. Since it’s walking distance to the train station, we were able to easily settle in, drop off our heavy luggage, and keep moving through our day to explore the city. The staff was super helpful, not just during our stay but even after. We checked out but were able to leave our luggage with them and come back to pick them up when it was closer to our train’s departure time.

Good for the money
The hotel is basic but really clean and it is definitely what backpackers like us want! The bad was really uncomfortable: it wasn’t a double bed as advertised, but 2 single beds put together that kept moving apart in any possible direction! On the second day I woke up with a terrible pain in my neck, the day after my neck was tilted on the side and couldn’t move at all! Other than that it was good: really big room, clean, friendly staff.. they gave us a lot of tips and stored our bags after check out for free. In the room we had a sink and a shower too, but the shower didn’t have a door and there wasn’t any hot water so we used the shared one anyway. Some new forniture would make this place definitely better, but so far it was worth the money.

Only good thing was the bed and fan..
When I arrived in Florence, into SMN. I knew roughly where to go by following the directions. Using the GPS on my phone, it showed I was standing outside it. All I could see was scaffolding. I looked up there was no name on the side, no nothing. Yes the door was open, but in all honesty it looked like an entrance to flats or something, not a hotel. I looked around the surrounding area to see if it was elsewhere but alas it was said building. I i walked in with my large suitcase, and the first thing i seen was stairs, even though it said about a lift. I noticed a lift in the far corner, but the doors on it were weird, I could just about get the suitcase in. The hotel is situated on the 2nd floor. After checking in, I was informed I was to be on the next level, but when he saw the suitcase, he kept me on the 2nd floor instead. The door looked like it had seen better days, I'm glad you can only get in with the key, otherwise it would have been really dodgy. There is a shower in the room, but it doesn't work, the actual showers are in a separate area. If it doesn't work, why is it in the room? No curtains on the window. Only good thing about this hotel was a comfy bed and the ceiling fan

Very friendly staff, and very helpful- gave us tips for good food and cheaper gelato placed. We got upgraded to a larger room. Unfortunately the in room shower did not have doors. Also there was no mirror in the room at all. At night it was very loud because the windows didn't seal close. The heater broke down over night and leaked water everywhere. The staff was very good about fixing it up and cleaning the room. Washrooms were all clean and had hot water. The location is prime.

let there be warmth
It was a lovely layout close to all the main attractions. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The only major gripe that I had was the coldness of the room. After getting stuck out in torrential downpours we has no additional heating in the room upon our return it was an ice box........

Service was amazing. Great location! Rooms could use updating but for those wanting to spend more time seeing sights than spend at a hotel, this place is worthy of your consideration!

Rooms were okay. They had a shower in the corner in the room which was a little strange and the shared bathroom flooded regularly. However, the staff were very friendly and happy to help with any queries I had.

Shared room hostil surprise
Very disappointing. I thought I booked a private room and when I showed up it was a shared hostile room. Uncomfortable cots for over $230! Absolute rip off. Would never recommend unless paying $40 a night or if someone prefers a hostil. As a hostil hotel it’s fine.

Don't ever stay in this hotel, your wasting $$$'s.
I will dispute with my credit card a deduction of 25 euros for lie-ing to me that I have my own bath. I even asked the receptionist before we went to my room if I have my own bath and she confirmed yes. But when we got there, the bathroom is next my room and outside. She said this is how they're bathrooms are. I don't know if this is what you call "private bath". This hotel also is living in the past. They don't have computers so their guests can check their emails.

Okay Hostel
Staff was very friendly and offered to help with advice for things to do. Location was amazing. Very noisy- the door would stick badly and the old fashioned key was very difficult to use to lock and unlock the door so you would hear everyone for over five minutes at time trying to get it to work. I felt safe and the wifi worked well.
