Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Morning traffic noise — Some guests note that the room can be affected by traffic noise in the morning, so light sleepers may want earplugs.
  • Comfort rating lags behind other categories — While overall ratings are high, the comfort score is noticeably lower, possibly due to the traffic noise or furnishing details.
  • Location on the edge of the city — The B&B is not in the very heart of Florence; a 15-20 minute walk is needed to reach the main attractions, which may be a drawback for some.

“The location was central, right by historic center and main railway station. Bar Da Tommy was located 15 minutes walk away. They gave us a suite with a folding table.”

8.8Verified guest

“Everything was great! The owners of the hostel were wonderful and extremely friendly and helpful. Everything was very clean and we very much enjoyed our stay and talking with Lara in the mornings! There was a great variety of options for breakfast and once we learned how to use the elevator, it made getting in and out very easy. It is on the edge of the city, but it's only a 15 or 20 minute walk to the city center and the owners gave us great recommendations of local places to eat! (The restaurant downstairs is great!)”
