Disappointing rooms, great staff
Pros:

Great staff, very helpful

Cons:

Very disappointing - we booked this accommodation for my family and I (3 bedrooms) months prior to our arrival.
We were all on completely different sides of the hotel.
The room were not as described, my brother was put up in an attic like room.

Definitely not the same as photos online.

Canceled 3 days before arrival
Pros:

My husband and I booked this hotel for our honeymoon. Just 3 days before we were due to be in Florence, we received an email saying our reservation was canceled. We called the hotel, sent an email, and called Marriott headquarters, and no one could give us answers or offered to help us. Mind you, we are Bonvoy members and had our wedding block at a Marriott. We are so disappointed in the way things have been handled and will no longer be staying with Marriott.

Honeymoon at the Sonetto!
Pros:

We stayed at the Sonetto for the first 3 days of our honeymoon and we were very happy to start it there. The rooms were a very good size with a proper double bed, some places in Europe have 2 x single beds pushed together, a small thing to some but we were very impressed with this.
Alongside the location being perfect for exploring Florence the views from the front of the hotel were brilliant with a view of the Ponte Vecchio and the Piazza Michelangelo.
The staff were also incredibly helpful and welcoming, a staff member called Paul was great at giving us recommendations for food and these did not disappoint, starting our honeymoon off in the best possible way!
Would definitely stay again!!!

Cons:

Nothing.

Would certainly stay again & also recommend to others.
Pros:

Very good location, comfortable bed, quiet room & great front desk staff. Breakfast was also good / better then expected. Two negatives would be (a) do not like over-head shower and fact that this must come on before you can turn on the hand shower, and (b) our room, though very spacious, did not have a chair or sofa only a separate single bed which had never been requested.

Nettes Hotel, aber sehr hellhörig was schon ziemlich nervig war, da man wirklich alles gehört hat vor allem die Toilette
Pros:

Lage ist super und Zimmer hat alles was man braucht, auch das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind extrem hellhörig. Man hat alles vom Gang im Zimmer gehört, auch wenn im Nebenzimmer der Wasserhahn aufgedreht wurde oder im Stock darüber jemand auf die Toilette gegangen ist, hat man das Wasser sehr laut gehört, das war vor allem in der Nacht ziemlich nervig.

Pros:

A localização é boa, próximo aos principais atrativos do centro histórico. Pudemos deixar as malas antes do check-in para passear pela cidade. O quarto e banheiro são confortáveis.

Cons:

Check-in muito tarde, somente as 16h. Foi o local com check-in mais tarde que nos hospedamos. Nos colocaram num quarto que o banheiro estava com cheiro muito forte de cigarro.
