What guests think

Across recent reviews of Solo Experience Hotel, travelers consistently praise the exceptionally central location near the Duomo and station, friendly and accommodating staff, very clean, comfortable rooms, and a generous, homemade-style breakfast that many call outstanding.

Rooms are often spacious, modern and well equipped, with some suites featuring steam showers or saunas, though a few are smaller, darker or affected by street noise from the nearby market. Cleanliness is generally high, but there are a handful of reports of odors, leaks, mosquitoes or, in rare cases, bed bugs. Service is widely described as attentive, yet a few guests cite disputes over included breakfast or unhelpful responses; arriving by car or rolling luggage on uneven cobblestones can also be inconvenient. A practical, comfortable base for exploring Florence on foot.

The hotel is in a great location. The room were well-furnished and clean. The bathroom was well appointed and the steam room an excellent addition. Only downside for the room was it would have been good to be able to close off the bedroom from the study area (if only with a heavy curtain). Breakfast was good with plenty of options and friendly waiting staff.

El hotel me pareció muy bueno, todo estaba limpio aunque cuando hacían la habitación no recogían las botellas de agua vacías ni lavaban las copas. Esta en un area super céntrica. El único inconveniente era que como teníamos carro rentado esta en un area restringida y no se puede entrar al hotel, pero lo si lo hicimos y nunca tuvimos ningún problema. El hotel se encarga de llevar y traer el carro a un parqueo ($35 diarios) y horario limitado de 7:00 a 8:00 pero puedes solicitarlo desde el día antes para que cuando bajes tu auto este parqueado frente al hotel. Es una opción fantástica para caminar Florencia de dic y de noche. Muchísimos restaurantes alrededor y mercados. El desayuno que lo teníamos incluido espectacular buffet y el staff muy amable. Recomendadisimo.

Was greeted by staff upon check-in, and they were extremely helpful. Held our bags, and even placed them in our room when it became available. Arrived back to finally see the room and realized that there was a leak…and an odor. Michael came up and saw the leak, explained that there were no more rooms (completely booked, and we were ok with it), and cleaned up the floor. This continued for our stay, but not only was the leak still there, but an “not so nice odor” was now apparent. Called down, a woman came up and proceeded to tell me that, “It’s an old building, and this happens…” Terrible service by that person, but we stuck it out. Overall, it’s definitely not a 4-star hotel, but it is a solid 3.5.

BED BUGS!!! We found a bed bug in our bed. It was late so the only person available was the night "host" but his response was horrible, unprofessional, rude. He came to the room and when we showed him, he shrugged it off as if it was nothing. He said it happens all the time and it's normal. We were shocked and disagreed wholeheartedly. It may be normal in Italy but that is unacceptable by American standards. And if that was an acceptable standard by Solo's management then I'd highly suggest staying else where. We were just appalled by the response.

The staff members were all very friendly and helpful. The overall conditions of the hotel were good, but our room left a lot to be desired. I personally killed more than 10 mosquitoes in the 2 nights we stayed there and even the electric plugs that were supposed to keep the mosquitoes away that the staff gave me did not help. I asked for a discount because of this but was told it had to come from or through Hotels.com instead of the hotel directly. Not sure where to go from here.

TLDR: Bed Bugs, placed in room that looked nothing like what we booked online I want to start off by first praising the staff as they were very kind and we did not have any issues with the hotel staff at all. However, it’s imperative that I share our experience in the hopes others are informed before deciding to book with this hotel. We had one small issue and one very serious issue during our stay here for our honeymoon: Small issue: they first placed us in a room that looked nothing like the photos. It was on the first floor and it was a very bizarre room where you were isolated from others and it was outside. However, we did bring this up to the hotel management and they were swift in rectifying this and placed us in the room that we were expecting to lodge in which was excellent service! Serious Issue: We woke up to 12 bed bug bites between my husband and I. And how did we know it was a bed bug? We found it and took a picture and showed the hotel management. They couldn’t place us in a different room outside of the one we specifically did not want and all they did was sanitize and disinfect the room. Did not offer any compensation or refund. The following night, despite being told they didn’t find any, we were bit again, another 10 bites. Each of them pussing, super red and hot. Refund still denied despite this experience. As someone who travels frequently, I have never experienced this and highly dissatisfied with our experience.

BUYER BEWARE!!!! The hotel had an issue with very bad sewage smell in our room and was unable to fix it. Due to my wife’s Asthma we were not able to stay in the room. They did not have another room available for the first night which forced us to move to another hotel. They refused ANY refund saying that we had “already checked in” and that they had a NO REFUND POLICY (read the booking). They also stated to Expedia (which I booked through) that they fixed the problem while we were there. The fix was to pour strong smelling chemicals down all the drains to simply mask the Sewage smell which then horribly triggered my wife’s Asthma. If you have an issue they cannot fix and are FORCED to leave for MEDICAL reasons they will NOT refund your money! Very bad business practices!!! I cannot remember the last time I wrote a bad review about a hotel. I don’t complain often.

Room was immaculate and quiet even though we were next to the elevator. The only thing i would change was the room temp - it was fridgid, i think due to the registerlocation in the bedroom, even though we turned the temp up as much as allowed.

Our room had an excellent view of the Duomo and the busy streets, yet it was completely sound proof. The beds are typical European comfort, much firmer than American mattresses. The staff were excellent and always happy to provide recommendations. I did not expect the showers to be as small as they were though. This was an excellent property overall and I would stay here again.

Great location! We could walk everywhere! Easy walk from train station but roads aren’t best on luggage wheels. All the staff were friendly and helpful! Wish there was access to an iron. Too expensive to pay them to do it. Breakfast was great! Rooms were outdated but the location outweighed that. One of our friends had a basic room and was not happy with it. We had a suite and another friend had a room with a view. We were both happy with ours. Definitely would stay there again but not in a basic room.

I cannot say enough positive things about this hotel. The two women I dealt with at the front desk were unbelievably helpful, gracious, and kind. The housekeepers were efficient and understanding. The hotel is located in the heart of a lot of restaurants and shops, but at night, no noise filtered into my room. I’m traveling to five cities in Italy, and this has been my best stay by far. Fabulous fabulous hotel.

This hotel is in a good location, but it is difficult to pull luggage back and forth to the train station because the road is made of uneven rocks of different sizes, and the wheels of your luggage easily get stuck between them. My room is #109, and it is quite unusual. Although it is on the first floor, you have to go outside to the emergency stairs before entering the room. The room appears to be designed for a person with disabilities (which we did not request), so both the room and bathroom layouts are strange. The renovation also seems limited compared to my friend’s normal room, yet we all paid the same price.
