Disappointed by Noise
Pros:

-Excellent location if you want to be in the heart of Florence

Cons:

I had a really bad experience at this hotel and do not recommend it.

I don’t need a lot when traveling. Just a room that’s 1) safe for my bags and 2) quiet for rest. I paid almost €600 for 6 nights in a single-room with a shared bathroom. Unfortunately, the room was directly across from that shared bathroom, used by guests from the other rooms. Literally, my door & bed were 4 feet from the bathroom door, which slammed and locked throughout the night.

I did everything I could to negate the noise myself the next nights (getting earplugs, a white noise app, etc) but the room is simply uninhabitable that close to the bathroom. Slamming sometimes at 23:00, 1:00, 0:00, 2:00, 4:45 or 6:00...and you can't sleep in, as the owners start cleaning at 8:00.

It’s a real bummer because the lack of sleep started to have an impact on my trip towards the end. On the last night I finally insisted on a new room - away from the bathroom - and at least the owners did give me that.

The shared bathroom itself could use some attention. By afternoon/evening, there was a slick layer of water (?) on the floor.
