Small, quaint room. Private bathroom, not en-suite, just off of the breakfast area, which was a bit awkward. No elevator FYI. Otherwise a delightful stay!

A lovely place to stay, close to everything in a lovely old building. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The children in particular LOVED the breakfast ( especially the Nutella). Grazie mille! We would love to go back.

Great location, workers were very nice. RV size wet bathroom, tablecloth thick towels. No elevator so you had to walk up a few flights of stairs and down. Our room opened up into the middle of the dining area which could be awkward in the morning when we left.

Hotel Abaco is quirky, charming and authentic. It was very convenient for us to walk around Florence, and is very close to lots of restaurants, cafes, museums, and wonderful small shops. In fact, for a busy few days as a tourist in Florence it could not be better. OK - it's old, and you have to climb 55 stone stairs to it (it's on the 2nd floor) but it would not be authentic otherwise. La Signora who runs it was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed visiting!

Worst bed ever!

Awful, terrible bed. Cannot overstate this enough. Location was great though, so if you like being close to things and don't intend on sleeping or you're making a booking on behalf of someone you don't like, this is the place for you.

Surprised that Expedia had a “good” rating for this hotel, which is not justified. I have trust deficit with Expedia’s rating after my experience at this property. The property is old and has no lift. Guests have to carry their luggage up two floors, and there was no warning given for this by Expedia in its description of the property. Customer service was very poor. We had breakfast with our booking, but there was no place to sit and eat - hence had no breakfast. Also staff refused to provide hot water requested for tea before breakfast was open to be served. Uncomfortable and vey small toilet space - again something not highlighted by Expedia. I would rate the property as a hostel for students - not a hotel.

La propiedad esta muy convenientemente situada, muy cerca de todas las atracciones de Florencia, esta muy bien atendida, el desayuno bastante bien, las habitaciones cumplen perfectamente su función, se siente algo antigua y hay que subir el equivalente a 3 pisos y no hay elevador pero por todo lo demás esto último pasa a segundo plano.

Mi experiencia fue muy mala, y si van con maletas les recomiendo no hospedarse, ya que son 60 escalones para subir a la recepción y el hotel (no especifica en la aplicación) mi marido se cayó de la escalera intentando bajar las maletas, fuimos al hospital y ninguno se hizo cargo por los daños ocasionados ni el mal momento que pasamos, el hotel en cierto aspecto es viejo y de mal gusto, sobrecargado de decoración. La habitación es prácticamente una lata de sardinas, el baño indescriptible, se tapa a cada rato y la ducha está prácticamente al lado del inodoro (no sabes si es ducha o bidet) la verdad estamos decepcionados y muy tristes… no los recomiendo en absoluto.
