Rooms vary in size and style, with historic charm for some, but several note weak Wi-Fi, firm or uneven beds, limited climate control, and occasional mismatches with listing photos. Many guests compliment the staff's friendliness and communication, but overall service is minimal. Expect a central base with character, not a full-service hotel.

El check in es en un lugar diferente, y tienes que ir hasta alla a recoger las llaves, las fotos de las habitaciones difieren de la realidad y el aseo no fe el mejor las cabeceras de la cama eran amarillas pero algun dia fueron blancas, el servicio del parqueadero no es directo y esta en una zona ZTL y las escaleras son muy empinadas para personas con movilidad reducida y subir las maletas es un gran ejercicio

It’s perfectly situated, but poor lighting in the stairs is dangerous. I had a scary fall since I couldn’t see the dark black stairs.

We had problems with mosquitos and possibly bed bugs. Also, we were told 1ft floor....they might have considered it 1st floor but it was still 48 stairs to our room. Good location.

First thing you will need to do is pick up the keys for the accommodation. The main office is located 3 minutes away. Although this was a bit inconvenient, the property was very communicative about this before our trip, so I was very aware and prepared. They also explain in detail the check-in instructions on their page. We stayed in the larger Leonardo room. Two floors up a couple short staircases, and a short staircase up to the room. The room is set up better for couples, or family with young children. Open concept. There are no doors to separate the bedroom from the sitting area. The sitting area does have two sleeping sofas. The amenities and outlets were limited. Room and bathroom were clean. Shower water got very hot which was nice. The office has very limited hours, so they asked us within the first hour of our stay if everything was working and if we needed anything. The A/C worked ok. Fantastic location! Within walking distance to restaurants and shopping.

The room was good but walking down the stairs this morning, it was dark and the railing stops before the last step, my husband did not see it and fell very hard. We had to go very slow to go to a pharmacy to get a knee brace, cane and pain medication. It’s now evening and he is still in a lot of pain. Lighting should be installed on that stairwell even if it is motion detector lights. If you walk out of the office and turn right and walk up the first set of stairs, it is the next set of stairs at the bottom, the last one he could not see.

The property lacks an elevator, making it shore with luggage. The air conditioning condensation made us put towels under it to control the water. The shower plug up but staff took care of the issue right away. Love the ladies working counter, friendly and helpful. I also liked the space room provided. I would recommend for a visit to Florence, just don’t expect the Marriott.

This is an old building so the stairs and handrails are not up to modern standards. That is fine and understandable but the problem is that on top of that their dont ensure that the hallway staits and landings are well lit. I missed the last step as I did not see it since it was dark and the handrail does not reach the last steps. I am now dealing with a knee injury that will likely take months yo heal. When reported, all they said was sorry.

Cleanliness
Cleanliness is inconsistent: some rooms were tidy, but several reports cite dirty linens, mold in showers, and, in one case, cockroaches in common areas.

This place is way too expensive for how little they offer—there is no breakfast, staff closes up by 6pm and the room itself was really dirty. The shower would flood every time we used it, and there was dirt and grime on the shower floor. The beds weren’t the most comfortable, but the main problem was that they had no fitted sheet, just a top sheet thrown over the mattress. The mattress itself was scratchy and wasn’t the cleanest, so it was gross when the top sheet slid off and I’d wake up on the mattress underneath. The floor in the room was dirty, there were stains on the spare blankets, the locks to the room were finicky, etc etc. I’m not usually one to complain about hotels, and I have definitely stayed in worse; but when you’re charging almost €200 per night you should at least make sure your rooms are clean. You are basically paying for location alone with this hotel—the one upside to this place is how close you are to some of the main attractions of Florence, and some amazing restaurants.

The hotel overall was clean and had a unique vibe — staying in an old building with a giant gate at the entrance gave me a nice feeling, almost like stepping back in time. However, there were some important downsides. We noticed quite a few cockroaches in the common areas, which was uncomfortable. Another key detail for future guests: the check-in process has strict rules. They charge 30€ for arrivals after 6 PM, and the office doesn’t open until 10 AM. Unfortunately, this meant we couldn’t leave our luggage early in the morning and ended up missing a museum reservation because we had to wait until the office opened. A staff member did show up earlier, but still told us we had to wait until 10. Additionally, storing luggage costs 5€ per bag, which is unusual compared to most hotels. In summary: the place is clean and atmospheric, but the extra charges, late office hours, and presence of cockroaches are important things to be aware of before booking.

Check in was at a different location. Were told check in was at 3 p.m. so left our bags at a paid facility only to be told the room was ready at 1:30 p.m.! They can keep your bags for a charge but the office closes at 6 p.m.! The room was small and looked nothing like the photos of it. The heating is centrally controlled and wasn't turned on when we were there and it was a cold room! The bathroom had mould in the shower and didn't really feel very clean. Great location but defintley overpriced for what you get for your money.

Room was dirty, bed sheets hadn’t been cleaned upon arrival. They cleaned them the next day and said they would refund us for the night but then only gave us €50 back. After a long conversation gave us another €50, but that still wasn’t enough to cover the night. The mattress had a huge crater and was extremely uncomfortable. Shower had mold. WiFi didn’t work.

Please see My message to the management and still awaiting a response. Frustrating to say the least Even though it’s our last day today I wanted to bring to your attention the the conditions of the room given to us , the fridge closet door broken, the washroom water keeps flooding the bathroom, mold on the shower area, bathroom door broken, dust under the couches… I did bring this to the receptionists attention but nothing was done about it. I would hope that if you charge people full price then at least have things clean and in good condition. Swati

This was our first visit to Florence. Property is in a very convenient location, walkable to most destinations within Florence. Room was comfortable although you do not have room controls for heat or air so luckily weather was very tolerable during our visit. They do not do room service unless you request it but did leave plenty of clean towels and toilet paper out. Be prepared for stairs and with large luggage it is a workout. Overall our stay was very good!

While the listing did warn that there could be night noise from the area, nothing could be heard from the streets. All of the noise was from other rooms in the residence. The floors are very thin and the tv in the room above us was on throughout the nights we stayed. Rooms are decorated nicely but showing some aging and cleaning is needed around the baseboards and in the shower.

In summary: the place is clean and atmospheric, but the extra charges, late office hours, and presence of cockroaches are important things to be aware of before booking.

Amazing staff. However, the only challenge was at the place to check in was a bit of a walk from the actual location and you have to pay a fee if you’re not within the timeframe that they want for a check-in.

We were surprised that we had to walk to other street to register and get the keys and walk back to the same place to enter our room. All our luggage we had to carry out with us back and forth. Not convenient at all...

The property lacks an elevator, making it shore with luggage. The air conditioning condensation made us put towels under it to control the water. The shower plug up but staff took care of the issue right away. Love the ladies working counter, friendly and helpful. I also liked the space room provided. I would recommend for a visit to Florence, just don’t expect the Marriott.

First thing you will need to do is pick up the keys for the accommodation. The main office is located 3 minutes away. Although this was a bit inconvenient, the property was very communicative about this before our trip, so I was very aware and prepared. They also explain in detail the check-in instructions on their page. We stayed in the larger Leonardo room. Two floors up a couple short staircases, and a short staircase up to the room. The room is set up better for couples, or family with young children. Open concept. There are no doors to separate the bedroom from the sitting area. The sitting area does have two sleeping sofas. The amenities and outlets were limited. Room and bathroom were clean. Shower water got very hot which was nice. The office has very limited hours, so they asked us within the first hour of our stay if everything was working and if we needed anything. The A/C worked ok. Fantastic location! Within walking distance to restaurants and shopping.

Great location to the centre and short walk to the Duomo. Beautiful building and room with plenty of space. Bed was too firm for my liking and pillows were old and well used. 30min walk from the train station.

This place is way too expensive for how little they offer—there is no breakfast, staff closes up by 6pm and the room itself was really dirty. The shower would flood every time we used it, and there was dirt and grime on the shower floor. The beds weren’t the most comfortable, but the main problem was that they had no fitted sheet, just a top sheet thrown over the mattress. The mattress itself was scratchy and wasn’t the cleanest, so it was gross when the top sheet slid off and I’d wake up on the mattress underneath. The floor in the room was dirty, there were stains on the spare blankets, the locks to the room were finicky, etc etc. I’m not usually one to complain about hotels, and I have definitely stayed in worse; but when you’re charging almost €200 per night you should at least make sure your rooms are clean. You are basically paying for location alone with this hotel—the one upside to this place is how close you are to some of the main attractions of Florence, and some amazing restaurants.

We loved our stay at the Residenza d’Epoca Borgo Albizi!! It was in the heart of Florence and uniquely set within a quiet protected sanctuary. We appreciated the low key AC and frig and the ice cold showers (preferred with 100F days). We would stay there again.
