This property is located in the center part of Firenze, within 5-10 minutes walk to most attraction sites you want to visit in town. The room is in good condition and clean. Something I dislike about this place: (1) check in/out location isn’t the same as the BnB, I had a taxi dropped me off outside the BnB but only found out you have to walk to another hotel to check in and come back to the BnB with my suitcase back and forth (this can be tiring and troublesome for some people); (2) the breakfast is not complimentary. Before my arrival, I received a welcome message from the property manager also mentioned the breakfast will be served at the 7th floor of Hotel Signoria (they didn’t mentioned there is a fee for it) and I took that as a complimentary breakfast. I only found out on my check out date that they charged me 15 Europe for the breakfast. With the same price you can have much better breakfast at a decent cafe. I highly suggest you skip their breakfast. It’s overpriced and it didn’t taste that good; (3) this place gets noisy at night. There are people (probably drunken individuals) yelling out or speaking out very loud at night (after 11pm). Also, the trash truck also picking up trash and making super loud noise after midnight. This is not the property’s fault, but if you are a light sleeper, please avoid this property and find another accommodation.

On entry to the room everything was ok. Although it was supposed to be a two bed room. The second room, was a small living room with a sofa bed and no door, that led to the en-suite. As we are one family it was fine! One of the curtains were hanging down and shining light through. Also neither tv’s had a reception. We mentioned this to reception. Their reply was that maintenance did not work on Sunday’s but they would sort out. (Ok) No action was taken during the remainder of our stay. But the issue with the bathroom. Which we complained and no action was taken. Is totally unacceptable, both the shower and sink were blocked and very quickly overflowed. The plug had been removed from the sink. So I assume it had been a problem before? With regards to the shower. There was soap and hair backfilling into the shower tray. After the third person in the room had used the shower it was flooding onto the floor. Also, the door handle kept pulling off the door and made difficult to close. Paying 800 euros for a 4 night stay. Iam very disappointed and look forward to hearing from you. Colin Clover

Repubblica close to Ponte Vecchio
They email the location for check in about 2 blocks away from the rooms. So be ready for that. The Repubblica B&B was good. The free breakfast is two blocks away on a rooftop. Breakfast was great and beautiful view.

room is too hot
The room was hot. We asked for a fan, but they didn't have one. The air conditioner was not adequate to cool the entire room. The upstairs bedroom got very hot and was difficult to sleep in. lt was also confusing to get the key. I didn't know there wouldn't be anyone on site. It was not a smooth check in for that reason. The location is good. The front desk people were friendly and accommodating.

Very friendly staff
I booked a room with bb. However, the Hotels.com sent the information to the Repubblika B&B indicating bb is not indicated. During my 5 days stay there, Hotels.com had not resolved the problem. HOWEVER, staff from Repubblika B&B offered us free bb everyday. The room is spacious, modern, clean and quite. It is physically on the plaza. During weekend, the plaza is busy till late at night. But inside the room, the noise level is around 25-28dB. It is quite.

3 day stay
We expected street noise ( street sweeper, music ) but we awakened a few times each night from hall noise. Of course our room was directly across from entry door. Avoid this room. The other thing that was bothersome was the lights from the room thermostat and heater. We wore face masks and earplugs. Breakfast was delicious! Friendly consierge. Newly renovated room. Clean!

Centrally located, but difficult to check in.
The hotel itself is in an ideal location. Right on Republic Square, just down the street from the Ponte Vecchio. However, the check-in is located at a different hotel on a very small side street, which we found difficult to find. We had a lovely balcony overlooking the street. It was very noisy at 1:30 and 2:00 am. The room itself had just recently been renovated, and was very comfortable. Everything is brand new. However, there was no hot water for the shower.

Not really a traditional B&B
There is nobody on site - check in is done at another hotel a couple of blocks away. Without a person on site - you do not get any help with questions about the city. Also, if you need anything - there is nobody to ask. The breakfast is served late (8:30 to 10:00). There are only a handful of rooms in this facility. There is a small lift so the second floor location was not a problem.

So so
Great location. Problem was that the manager is not on site. Reception is two blocks away in another hotel, so check in was confusing and difficult with luggage. No one on site to assist with local transportation or recommendations. Our shower door came off the track one night and no one could fix it till morning. Also the beds and pillows were very hard and uncomfortable. Having said that. It is in a perfect location and Julia, the girl who cleans and sets breakfast, was lovely and very helpful in the morning when she there.

The location of this b&b was great right in the centre of Florence but the room was small and old. The beds very uncomfortable. Not very clean there was a used bandaid on the floor. Would not stay here again.

Hotel is centrally located in plaza with many restaurants, shops and Duomo all within easy walking distance. Only drawback for some people may be the noise from people roaming the plaza late at night. Room was spacious, very comfortable, clean, very good a/c and largest shower of all hotels we stayed in Europe. Only drawbacks were very slow WiFi, TV in bedroom not fully functional, and B&B rooms located in separate building from hotel building so there is no lobby or front desk attendant at the B&B building.

Happy stay
I am very happy with Piccolo Trevi suites. The room is comfortable, spacious and it has free WiFi. The staff is friendly. Make sure to communicate your arrical date and time to ensure that there will be someone to check you in for there's not a 24 hour reception to host guests. The location is excellent, steps away from Fontana di Trevi.

Our stay was good. The hotel is clean and very well situated. The wifi signal was very poor and many times non existent in our Room. The fact that they left the reception unattended at night and sometimes during the day woul've been nice to know. There is no one to open the door if you don't have your key,

Wonderful hotel! Fantastic employees!
This is a delightful little B+B with only a few rooms. Our room (a suite and the largest room) overlooked the Piazza della Repubblica. Be warned that it's noisy until late at night from the square, but I slept right through it with ear plugs. It's less than a five minute walk to the Uffizi, the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, etc. The large, 4 poster bed was wonderful, as was the bed in the other room. There's no door between the rooms but it still felt private. The shower was very nice. The AC worked great. The breakfast was nice. The employees, especially a woman from Japan, were wonderful! Only (minor)hassle is that there isn't 24 hr employees present so you have to lock and unlock the door with your own key, and there is only one key to share with your family. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Great, Central place to stay in Florence
Great B&B/hotel, right on the plaza. Our room looked out over it and the main arch and carousel. Service was wonderful. Free breakfast in the morning. Every main attraction within 15 min walk from Duomo to Uffizi. Great restaurants downstairs. Was only in for one night, but would book again. Is loud at night with music, people, etc - but we had no issues with it. Wonderfully appointed rooms.

B&B Review
The staff were friendly and helpful. The reception area had a strange smell like mildew or something like old cleaning towels were being used on the floors or something like that.The wifi did not work for the first day and half we were there and the staff did their best with it and got it working . For the price we paid I do not think it is a choice we will make in the future.

The location of the B&B was perfectly situated to make exploration of Florence simple and convenient. It is right on the Piazza Repubblica. The hotel has great sound insulation though so you will still get a restful night of sleep. There is also a wonderful woman by the name of Atsuko who works the front desk. She kindly provided great suggestions, directions and arranged reservations for dinner to ensure your stay was as pleasant as possible. She truly made our stay enjoyable there. I would not hesitate in choosing to stay there again.
