The property owner deny my check in saying that no infant allow. And check in time is before 3pm sharp. She message me via expedia one day before my check in date say no late check in and no refundable. Beware of this scam hotel appartment. The contact number at expedia website is incorrect too.

Money stolen
My friend and I recently stayed at this place for three days and never met any of the staff. On our last night we went out for dinner for three hours, and left some of our cash hidden in our luggage. The next day, after checking out, we both realized some of the money left at the place was stolen. I lost about 100 pounds and my friend lost about 100 pounds and 100 euro. They did not take all of the money, but instead took a variety of bills, making it less noticeable at first glance. Because we had counted our money the night before, we are both certain that our money was stolen during the time we left the hotel. As travelers, it was extremely difficult to connect with the hotel staff as they were never to be seen. They were only available by phone and we did not travel with an international SIM card. Thereby we are writing this review to warn fellow travelers and for the hotel to get in touch with us to resolve this issue.

Did not like that needed to confirm how to get in as no front desk. It isn't,t until you book the hotel it is mentioned that you need to get instructions. One couple who already got there from China who already paid did not realize this phoned their booking agency and found out their room was now not available and they lost their payment. Now they were trying to find a room at 8:30 at night. I had an experience that I was trying to call the hotel to get my instructions. I finally had to call expedia only to be told that they do not answer their phone untill 10:30 am. Lady who took payment abrupt. Wasn't given sightseeing pamphlet s and no area map. Overall would rate this room as a 1 out oh 5 due to staff and difficult y in signing in into room. Expedia should let people know about this room.

Small but good location
Overall, my husband and I had a pleasant stay at the Locanda San Giovanni. This is not a hotel so there isn't a front desk or someone you can easily speak to if you need something. You have to set up your check-in with the location 48 hours prior to your arrival and that whole process was a bit stressful as the phone numbers/email addresses that hotels.com provided were not correct. I had to call customer service 4 times and ended up getting 3 different phone numbers and 5 different email addresses, eventually one of the phone numbers worked (all the mail addresses bounced back except one) and it went to someone's mobile phone who told me someone would be there at the time we were planning to arrive. Once we were at the location, the check-in process was simple. I loved the location of the Locanda as it's very close to the Dome and other sites that you'd want to see in Florence. There are restaurants and markets close by. The room and bathroom are tiny so be prepared to be in close quarters with whoever you're traveling with. The shower drained very slowly so I would have to turn the water off mid shower a couple times so the shower wouldn't overflow. Although the building/room was older, it was clean and tidy.

Wrong information!
The room we got was supposed to have a private bathroom inside the room which did not! The bathroom was not only detached but shared. The owner offered us another room in another hotel but the other room was not clean and it was very dark.
