Pros:

Overall, it was a poor experience. Most importantly, this property is misrepresented by Expedia as a hotel. It is NOT a hotel. It is a bed and breakfast experience at best.

Several major issues experienced 1) there’s no safe. No ability to lock up passports and money and yet staff enter the room daily - despite setting up the electronic DND (do not disturb) setting. It was surprising in the first day and disturbing in the 2nd day as we purposefully attempted to stop staff from entering. The main issue is not staff … it is that they leave door wide open while cleaning room and anyone can enter while they are working in bathrooms etc. I walked by open door rooms myself that I could have easily entered and pilfered without anyone being aware. 2) There is 1 person working - who appears to be the same person manning desk and morning breakfast and cleaning. Not enough staff. 3) as this is a b& b and not a hotel that is properly staffed we experienced a terrible last day with children openly running up and down the hallways screaming and talking loudly with parents at 6:00 am. Zero respect from other patrons but most importantly no vigilance and no interception from staff. The desk is not manned during the evening and despite the noise continuing well into morning hours of 8 am - the one lady that worked said nothing to intercept and attempt to control the wayward family wreaking havoc for other patrons. Understaffed b&b with no security and poor management.

Tudo ótimo!
Pros:

Foi uma experiência muito boa! O hotel é bem localizado. Todas as funcionárias são atenciosas e solícitas. O quarto é limpo e de ótimo tamanho. Banheiro idem. O café da manhã é honesto, sem grandes variedades, mas tudo muito gostoso. Voltarei certamente!

Pros:

We had a water leak from the ceiling, which was terrible. They were very apologetic, still it is unacceptable. It's not really a hotel, just a few rooms in the building rented out to tourists. The breakfast is not good. Location is ok, 15-20 minutes walk to main plazas and good restaurants.

Pros:

No front desk available except for check in and out.
Breakfast for one hour 7:30 am ?????and nobody even informed us.
If you want to charge your phone you need to sleep with lights on while somebody is using a drill the entire night.

Pros:

The staff and the architecture of the room are the best. We only stayed for one day and a half and staff made great recommendations for food, places to visit, and even helped us get museum tickets. Eternally grateful for making our stay so enjoyable and easy!

100%Buchungsempfehlung
Pros:

Super gut gelegenes nettes Hotel. Extreemst freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Bett Gross und Bequem. Grosses Zimmer. Von der Strasse oder den anderen Zimmer hört man nichts, ausser im Flur ist es etwas laut und ringhörig. Alled in allem ein top Hotel zu einem super Preis.würden wir definitiv wieder buchen!

Pros:

I loved my room, when the digital portion of licking the room safe did not work and the digital room key had some trouble, they immediately provided me with keys to the safe as well as my room and the outside entrance way, which was only marked by a 8"x11" metal sign. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. I would definitely stay there again,

Pros:

We stayed here for six nights in September & very happy with our decision to choose La Casa di Morfeo. The Santa Croce district location was close to the cathedral, the Bargello, and the Arno River. The hotel is quite small, more like a bed-and-breakfast than a full-scale hotel. It was charming and the staff were friendly and happy to help you with directions, calling cabs, making recommendations. Breakfast is basic but will get you started in the morning. The room was a decent size with a king bed & coffee service. The shower was really nice - four shower-heads mounted on the wall plus the overhead stream - a great way to end an exhausting day sightseeing! An excellent coffee/cocktail bar is across the street and a great neighborhood pizza spot is down the block (Caffe-Bistrot Malborghetto). We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to those looking for a quiet, local neighborhood.

Pros:

Nice basic accommodation. Staff were very friendly and welcoming - we were able to leave our bags in the lobby for the day whilst the room was prepared for us which we appreciate.

Room was fairly dirty and needed a good scrub and vacuum. There was grime on the floor, in the bathroom on the walls. I had to collect a clump of someone else’s hair from the shower wall and pop in the bin before having the first shower. The shower didn’t look to have been cleaned at all and had hair and black mould around the tiles.

Property is located in a fairly handy area and is within an easy walking distance of multiple attractions.

Pros:

This property was a property that we selected when our original accommodations were not acceptable. We selected this property with limited research and were Delighted to find that it was exactly as advertised. The staff was friendly and Welcoming. The property was clean. Most importantly, the air conditioning worked Which was essential given that the temperature outside was between 95 and 100° when we visited.

Nice rooms, not much around
Pros:

The building itself is old, dark, and could use some updating. However, our room was very nice. Although small, it was extremely clean, and it was comfortable. The closest parking garage isn't super convenient, especially when dragging luggage up the stony streets. The outside is not well-lit, which made me a bit nervous and made it hard to find at night. Overall, we liked the room very much, but we didn't care for the location.
