Great place with a lot of character and sophisticated furnishings, art and antiques. We wished the staff on site were up to that level, which was definitely not the case. The location is great but night life just below goes on till very late and generates a lot of noise. Overall, we won't go back there.

Friendly staff in a unique hotel
Friendly staff in a unique hotel. A great location to walk to all attractions. The breakfast, coffee, tea and Limoncello available were wonderful. Perfect for younger people as it can be a little loud outside due to being in the middle of the neighborhoods. Room set up being two flights up may not be suitable for older couples.

Gem in downtown Florence
I was able to communicate real well with Claudi for ease of check in through WhatsApp. This place is very cozy and it’s in the heart of downtown, súper accesible to Piazza di la Signoria…leather market right next to it and great restaurants all around. If you are ok with a little noise at night, people walk around there and there are bars at night with live music… breakfast was very complete and the building is very historic and elegant… you will feel right at home.

The location in the city center was great but the accommodations didn’t justify the cost so we felt it was average overall.

The location is perfect, close to everything but without the noise of the city center; You are 5 minutes from everything and you are surrounded by great restaurants as well as large brand stores.

Of the seven hotels we stayed at, this was our favorite. It was clean, cozy, breakfast was great and staff was friendly. One thing to note is that the area gets loud at night because of the piazza and the hotel rooms are on the third floor and there’s no elevators.

This charming hotel is perfectly located in the city. It sits behind a plaza with open air vendors. The staff are friendly and breakfast was good . It can get loud in the early morning as vendors set up their stands at the market- nothing double paned windows couldn’t fix. One room had little ambient light, but it is very charming and would definitely go back.

The location is the best part about this accom. Its right in the center, although thay means it can be loud at night. The room was great, the biggest problem i had was the freestanding tub/shower. it offered little to non privacy, the shower curtain slides through the bath meaning it would get wet if you used it and it was made from linen. Just a weird choice. But overall room was good and staff were helpful.

The staff was very nice. One of the associates even carrried my suitcase up the 40 stairs to the lobby when he saw us approach the hotel. Our king bed was great and we loved the decor. It was fun shopping for leather just steps away. The free breakfast was outstanding and the options to sit at a large shared table with others was fun. We appreciated making our own coffee in the coffee bar. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again especially if using the train station.

Convenient! Porcellino Gallery is in the middle of all the attraction sites we had on our itinerary. There are many great food options in the area as well. Please note, the rooms are on the third floor and there are no elevators. However, staff are very kind and helpful and carried our luggages for us. Leading up to my trip, I needed to contact Porcellino Gallery for some inquiries. Although they don't have a 24/7 desk, they were quick to respond by phone or email. Porcellino Gallery faces in front of the public market, Mercato del Porcellino. It can get loud in the morning if you're hoping to sleep in (my friend and I quite enjoyed it though). A great experience was hearing the violinist play at the market in the evening and we can hear her playing through our window. Only cons: - The rooms are very dim. Ladies, if you need good lighting to do your makeup, this is may not be the place for you. - Hard to get a taxi! We checked out and needed to grab a taxi to take us to the train station. We were told by staff to walk over to Piazza della Repubblica to hail for a cab (about 3 minutes of a walk). At least 10 taxi drivers drove pass us and turned many people away (including us!). We eventually gave up and carried our luggages and walked over to the station.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Weird decorations and creepy vibe. Our room had a terrible smell (musty and moldy smelling) so we had to sleep with the window open. The location is central but right outside is VERY noisy starting before 5am when the leather stands start setting up. WiFi did not work at all. Bathroom was disgusting and not as pictured. Strange employees that aren’t helpful. Next time I’ll spend the extra $$ to stay somewhere nicer.

The hotel was difficult to find, and pre instructions advices to call ahead. I did that, but it didn’t help. When we found the hotel, it was difficult to access the hotel. There were many flights of stairs to climb to get to the room. He did help us carry the luggage up, but no help getting the luggage down when we left. The room was vey nice, clean with plenty of space. I also felt secure at the hotel. The location was right where the markets are set up everyday, so it wasn’t comfortable coming and going, to much congestion at the steps of the hotel. The room itself was quiet. The breakfast was good though. Many nice restaurants in the area.

Great location, great sound-proofing on the windows and doors (the square outside can be loud, with street performers singing until midnight), good standard breakfast buffet. A little hard to find at first, since its entrance is just a door tucked into the southwest corner of Porcellino Square
