Great location, charming historic building, helpful staff, but no elevator
Pros:

Charming historic building that is very well maintained and located in a great area of Florence, with many attractions, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. The host and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was on the third floor and featured a lovely terrace with a nice view.

Cons:

One thing to keep in mind is that there is no elevator, so there are quite a few stairs. Also, our room did not have a private toilet, but it did have access to a semi-private bathroom.

Pros:

Was ganz Besonderes. Extrem zentral mitten in der Florentiner Geschichte. Aufgrund des Alters gab es auch keine Klimaanlage und ein Gemeinschaftsbad. Wer sich damit arrangieren kann, wird sich hier aber wohlfühlen. Kleine Annehmlichkeiten wie eine Teeecke und Gästekühlschrank tragen dazu bei.

Pienissimo centro!
Pros:

Antico palazzo nobiliare in pieno centro, facilmente raggiungibile a piedi in 15-20 min dalla stazione di Santa Maria Novella. In pochi passi ci si trova al duomo di Firenze e in altrettanti pochissimi in Piazza della Signoria: tutto è raggiungibile a piedi e facilmente. Nelle vicinanze, vi è una Abbondanza di servizi market, ristoranti e bar….a proposito: per la colazione, che non è presente nella struttura, uscendo dal portone a 80 metri a sx sulla stessa via si trova un ottimo bar con una offerta strabiliante. L’albergo è al secondo e al terzo piano del palazzo: 3 rampe a piedi. Personale gentile. La nostra stanza era ampissima con bagno privato e un soffitto altissimo…. Manca l’aria condizionata ma sono presenti 2 ventilatori.

Cons:

Le tre rampe a piedi e la mancanza del condizionatore.

Un gran hotel, en un gran lugar y en un edificio con una historia muy interesante.
Pros:

La ubicación está muy bien, pues está en la zona turística. La habitación era caliente y con moscos, pero con aire acondicionado y laminitas anti moscos, así que sin problema. Era muy amplia y vista perfecta al Duomo.
Hay una zona común con mesas, trastes, cocineta y un pequeño refrigerador, que es de mucha utilidad. Las personas que atienden son muy amables, excepto uno de ellos, que no lo era tanto. Los mejores son el señor italiano y su esposa mexicana, que son súper amables. Si rentan coche, sugiero hacer caso a la sugerencia del hotel de dejar el coche en el Parking D'azeglio, para evitar multas u otros problemas, y además, te hacen descuento. Una de las cosas más emocionantes del hotel, es el peso histórico del edificio, perteneciente a gente relacionada con los Medici y vecino pared con pared del Palazzo Pazzi, donde vivía el personaje histórico de ese apellido y preparó el atentado contra la familia Medici.

Cons:

Para llegar a la habitación son varios pisos muy altos, y no tiene elevador; fuera de eso, todo muy bien.

The staff were helpful and kind, the location is perfect and the room is clean and beautiful
Pros:

The property was in an excellent location, and the room itself was clean and a beautiful artifact, as the host explained to us. It was special staying in a 500 year old room! The host was also super helpful and kind with accomodating us when our travel plans changed.

Cons:

Nothing. It was perfect, couldn’t ask for more!

Hieman kuuma ilman ilmastointia, toki onneksi lattiatuuletin huoneessa. Paljon portaita.

Comfortable enough for a solo male traveller.
Pros:

As a solo male traveller, it suited my purpose. Being a single room with a shared WC it was adequate. The outlook view was nothing special, but who goes to Florence to spend it their hotel room.

Cons:

Lack of tea / coffee facilities within the room itself. But it was available within the hotel. The lack of a lift could be problematic for those with limited mobility.

Great central location
Pros:

The hotel is in a central part of Florence, and a 20 minute walk from the train station or you can grab a bus that drops you off right outside the hotel.The staff did give us instructions on locating it past the big door as it wasn't immediately obvious.

The room was big and airy and we were accommodated with 2 standing fans on the rare occasion that we needed it.

Cons:

Be mindful that that there 4 flights of stairs to reach the hotel with no elevator - tricky with suitcases, especially those with mobility issues.

Whilst we did choose to have a shower in our room, the toilets are communal - I have walked past people in the dining room in my pyjamas to go to the toilet, so this isn't for the shy!
