Florence city
We had problems with mosquitos and possibly bed bugs. Also, we were told 1ft floor....they might have considered it 1st floor but it was still 48 stairs to our room. Good location.

Beautiful room with a great location
Great location to the centre and short walk to the Duomo. Beautiful building and room with plenty of space. Bed was too firm for my liking and pillows were old and well used. 30min walk from the train station.

While the listing did warn that there could be night noise from the area, nothing could be heard from the streets. All of the noise was from other rooms in the residence. The floors are very thin and the tv in the room above us was on throughout the nights we stayed. Rooms are decorated nicely but showing some aging and cleaning is needed around the baseboards and in the shower.

This place is not a hotel more like a hostel. To be honest may be one of the nastiest places I've ever stayed in. The bathroom was covered with mold, look like a fast clean from the previous guest, no elevator keep in mind if carrying a lot of luggage, and the room was just very unwelcoming. The photos definitely fooled me, looks nothing like the photos. I would never recommended this place to a friend and never stay here again!

Loctation!Location!Location!!
Location Location Location!! Everything was super close. Short walk to the Duomo and everything around it including restaurants. The only thing missing was a bit more of a kitchen space would be perfect. The shower glass wall needs some sealer at the bottom. Our flight was late and they went above and beyond to get us in late. Super friendly staff. Extremely clean. Luggage storage was available to us for €5 each bag…super convenient. We highly recommend and definitely stay again!!

This was our first visit to Florence. Property is in a very convenient location, walkable to most destinations within Florence. Room was comfortable although you do not have room controls for heat or air so luckily weather was very tolerable during our visit. They do not do room service unless you request it but did leave plenty of clean towels and toilet paper out. Be prepared for stairs and with large luggage it is a workout. Overall our stay was very good!

Check in was at a different location. Were told check in was at 3 p.m. so left our bags at a paid facility only to be told the room was ready at 1:30 p.m.! They can keep your bags for a charge but the office closes at 6 p.m.! The room was small and looked nothing like the photos of it. The heating is centrally controlled and wasn't turned on when we were there and it was a cold room! The bathroom had mould in the shower and didn't really feel very clean. Great location but defintley overpriced for what you get for your money.

The property lacks an elevator, making it shore with luggage. The air conditioning condensation made us put towels under it to control the water. The shower plug up but staff took care of the issue right away. Love the ladies working counter, friendly and helpful. I also liked the space room provided. I would recommend for a visit to Florence, just don’t expect the Marriott.

It’s perfectly situated, but poor lighting in the stairs is dangerous. I had a scary fall since I couldn’t see the dark black stairs.

We completely enjoyed our stay at Residenza d'Epoca Borgo Albizi. It is not your typical hotel. There is no daily housekeeping, and no staff is on hand beyond the afternoon office hours. But, the location is fabulous, central to everything. Although we were not out at the late hours of the night, it was safe and secure, a little like having a flat in town. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beware of the stairs
This is an old building so the stairs and handrails are not up to modern standards. That is fine and understandable but the problem is that on top of that their dont ensure that the hallway staits and landings are well lit. I missed the last step as I did not see it since it was dark and the handrail does not reach the last steps. I am now dealing with a knee injury that will likely take months yo heal. When reported, all they said was sorry.
