Florence Bed & Breakfasts

Pros: The location was great as far as proximity to points of interest like Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, Galileo Museum. The walks to other places weren't bad at all and gave the opportunity to find places to eat and shop. The river is also very close and beautiful at night and in the morning. Our room (#8) was very quiet. Breakfast was at a cafe very close by with a very nice man working each morning. I had only one issue with hot water the first morning. I emailed Daniela and she had it checked out and confirmed there was indeed hot water to our room. Never had an issue after that. Communication was great.

Cons: The entrance to the building has a strong odor when the doors aren't left open during the day. Galileo has very little control over this I'm sure. Luckily enough the smell does not lead upstairs or into the rooms. Still a great stay regardless.

Pros: It's very central to all major visitation destinations of the city. 10 min walk to everything. Get a city view room. It's worth it! The reception desk was very helpful, calling taxi's for us and making reservations for restraints and attractions. The indoor space and rooms were beautiful! Very romantic and LARGE!!!

Cons: Finding the hotel and getting in is hard. Minimal signage, you can't walk into a main corridor. You have to figure out to hit a button and explain to a person through an intercom that you are staying there, then they buzz you up. The paper for the button that says Galileo 2000 is old and worn too.

Pros: Centralized location, easy to get everywhere! The hospitality was fantastic. We would stay there again for sure.

Cons: The beds were very stiff.

Pros: Close to train station and attractions.

Cons: Some rooms face an open air market that opens at 7 a.m. and closes around 9 p.m. Prior to opening, there is considerable noise in setting up stands. The dismantling is equally noisy anND is followed by the sound of garbage trucks until nearly midnight. Rooms are tiny and Spartan. Most have shared bathrooms. People come and go and their activities are quite audible. THIS IS NOT A BED AND BREAKFAST, MORE LIKE A HOSTEL. There is a kitchen and you can make your own food No breakfast is offered. Relatively clean, but shabby. Owners operate several different facilities and are not on the premises. Maybe acceptable for travelers in their 20s.

Pros: Great location. The host, Giovanni, is terrific! Despite the flaws I would come back.

Cons: Wall are thin so if you have a noisy neighbor...good luck. Beds are not the most comfortable, if you are a solo traveler. They''re small.

Pros: B&B Franz House is in a great location in Florence, within walking distance of most sights. We had a room with a bathroom connected and the bathroom was upgraded and very nice. Paolo was very helpful and gave us a map and directions
