This property consists of one floor of an older apartment building. The elevator is small but adequate, and the rooms are old and charming. I was very comfortable.

Super close to Firenze Santa Maria Novella, the main train station in Florence. From Old Florence Inn, one can easily walk to the city’s main attractions. The breakfast provided in the room each day is adequate, but a coffee machine available around the clock is a very nice perk.

Old fashioned and depressing decor. Hard squeaky iron beds. Flimsy shower door. How the owner kept a straight face when describing the continental breakfast offered in rooms.... it was a load of the cheapest, non branded long life packaged products I have ever seen. POOR!

The Inn is very close to the train station and the concierge is a nice and helpful. The rooms are dated including the old spring mattresses, but the outer windows do a good job suppressing the street noise. The roll down shutters block the light. My bathroom wasn't good and was missing a sliding panel to the shower door and a some mold was growing on the ceiling. Even at 130 Euro for a quick one night stay to catch the train, I was expecting a little more.

Good little place

Right in front of train station, 5 minutes of walk of bus station, 5-15 minutes of walk of everything... (Uffizi museum, galleria dell academia, ponte vecchio, pretty much all major churh..)

Good Window, you wont hear anything from outside. Everything is perfect, but i like smooth matress and this one was really hard. Since everyone has its own preference about this, i still give 5* , really nice place near everything!

I brought a tour group of women with me and we all agreed that the rooms were large, comfortable, clean and safe. Check in was great, breakfast, although different and a little disappointing after what we had experienced, was adequate for a couple of days and location near the train station was great. Would recommend for short stays definitely.

Florence is always lovely and so was this hotel

We were so glad that we booked at the Old Florence Inn. It was an easy walk from the train station. The street was busy but the rooms are on an upper level with sound diminishing windows. There’s an elevator. The room was spacious with a balcony. A nice breakfast tray was provided. Also, an anytime coffee maker in the lounge

awsome trip and great accomodations

It was wonderful. Old Florence Inn is right around the corner from Santa Maria Novella train station and the fast tram out to the airport. They are close to a grocery store so if we were tired from all our walking, we'd pick up a light supper and wine and have a meal in our room. Delightful people managing the place who were VERY helpful about buses, places to visit and activities in the area. We'd certainly go back and stay there again.

Very close to train station and market

A very convenient location traveling into Florence by train - only a few minutes walk away from the train station (and easy to find!). It's in an older building so expect the lift (elevator) to be quite small - perhaps 2 people and luggage. The rooms themselves are roomy and comfortable. Location is great for exploring the area - only a few blocks walk to the Florence Market (something not to be missed), and a laundry facility close by (a word - change is given in Euros and \"Dexters\" - you can use either for laundry but the \"Dexters\" can only be used at the laundry. The only small downside to this Inn was the breakfast - all pre-packaged the day before. The breakfasts were adequate, plenty of coffee available, and a couple of bakeries close by - you certainly won't go hungry.

You could find better

The location was great right by the train station which was why we booked it. It was also very easy to get to the Mercado and many other sites in Florence. The rooms however were old and quite outdated. The bathroom was very small. So small it was even impossible to sit on the toilet normally. The shower really needed to be redone.

I also would not consider the “breakfast” something that most people would want to eat. We skipped the instant coffee and pre packaged bake goods for some excellent bakeries and espresso shops down the street.

Check in experience was good and staff was nice. Definitely an older place but we thought it was cute and quaint. The only issue is that the hotel isn't well marked and is somewhat difficult to find. It is in a building with other hotels and the actual hotel is only one floor of the building. Also great location right near the train station but close enough to walk to city center.

Excellent location. Very close to train station. Area is very accessible for everything. Supermarket, 24-hrs MacDonald, restaurants, attractions points are all near the hotel. Actually, the hotel is quite nice. The reason I didn’t rate too high just because of the building quite old, however, I found it’s quite typical in Florence if you want something not so expensive.

Nice & Cozy Hotel

The staff was really nice! The hotel offered a very authentic Italian bed & breakfast experience. The room was cozy, well equipped, quiet, and very clean.
The location is unbeatable: less than 5 minutes walking to S. M. Novella station, which is also handy when booking tours as that is a common meeting point. Piazza de la Unitá and Mercato Dan Lorenzo are also just minutes away on foot. Nice dining options nearby as well.

Great Location and Pleasant Accommodations

On the third floor of this old but modernised apartment building, a nice bed and breakfast is called the Old Florence Inn, featuring six rooms with modest accommodations and pleasant amenities, including en-suite bathroom. For breakfast, each room includes a tray with juice and breakfast treats, milk, yogurt, cheese.

The location is superb, among many other boutique hotels and rooms for rent in the area near the train station. It's an easy walk from the train station, even with luggage.

One quirk is the elevator: its the size of a coffin, or two. Old school. It was impossible to fit two persons and luggage inside so we sent the luggage up first and the host was happy to unload it for us before we sent the elevator back down for two passengers.

Strolling around the neighborhood, it looks like Walt Disney designed and built the little alleys and stores, restaurants, bars and gelato shops. Absolutely charming, clean and well kept. You can't go wrong with the food at most of these little places. The big market is only two blocks away, a must-see location. The big churches are easy walking distance and the charming bridge at Ponte Vecchio is also a short walk.

Just okay

The hotel was a bit difficult to locate as it was in the same building as about 3 other hotels-each on a different floor. The location is very close to the train station and just adjacent to the center so location was very good. There was a local bus stop next to the entrance so there was always a crowd by the front door which could be intimidating. The breakfast was packaged pastries and definitely not appetizing. Room was adequate but I would not describe as comfortable. Rather noisy as its close quarters. If you are just looking for a place that's inexpensive to grab a little sleep, then it's ok but that's it.

Open charm

This turned out to be a great little hotel. An old, traditional feel and decor which we loved. It was very clean. We had room 8. No view but we didn't care. Super convenient to train station which mattered to us with heavy luggage. The first night we noticed many mosquitoes in the room yet we hadn't opened the window. We told our gentlemen at reception and right away he had a plug in repellant in the room and there was no problem from then on. I would definitely stay again! Loved it.

It was a one night stay,very convenient since we arrived by train and it is very close to the train station. It's a bed&breakfast so there is no reception at night but they give you the keys and instructions needed for when you get back to the hotel. It is located in an upper level which is good for the security

We chose this B & B for its location, being close to the train station, as well as walking distance to the Ponte Vecchio, the Boboli Gardens and the Galleria dell' Accademia. Carrying luggage through the streets is no fun. The hotel was clean, safe and comfortable. The owner was not there when we got there, but a staff member filled in. There was a language barrier but she was very patient and we managed just fine. We later met the owner and he was very friendly, helpful, kind and just charming. Breakfast was nothing more than packaged snacks but they had juice and water and we wanted to save our appetites for the restaurants so we were just fine with it. We tired quickly in the heat and decided to stay in for one night with a bottle of wine. I went to the owner asking for advice on buying wine and after pointing us to the local grocer, he then handed me a cork screw and two wine glasses from his own kitchen. Just a nice little place to stay.

This hotel is very close to the train station (2mins walk) close to tourist sites (duomo 5-10 mins walk) and generally comfortable and convenient. Very clean throughout. Staff were helpfull and spoke good English. I appreciated the wifi access.

Breakfast was simple and pre-prepared (croissant in a packet, with preserves, instant coffee, youghurt, crackers and processed cheese) I would have appreciated a fresh breakfast.

Good times at Old Florence Inn

Stayed at The Old Florence Inn May 20,21 2014. The location was perfect. Across the street from the train station and the Hop on Hop Off Bus. We arrived a little early and we could still check in. The room was very nice and I liked how the continental breakfast was in your room and ready the night before. You could easily walk around and pop back in your room to drop stuff off that was bought from the market merchants down the street. Would definitely stay here again!

Handy for the train station, no chance of a lie in

The b&b is in a building with a number of other b&bs. The staff are very friendly. Breakfast is left in your room the day before, which is handy, but the quality on offer is pretty low. The major issue we had is that a combination of hard floors and thin walls means you can hear everyone moving around, so it was impossible to sleep beyond about 7am. Price is reasonable.

My wife and I highly recommend this inn. Very conveniently located--near train station and an easy walk to all major churches and museums in Florence. Florio, the owner, is very gracious and accomodating. He and his staff gave helpful suggestions on places to eat, etc. Room good sized and comfortable. Breakfast rather mediocre, but easy to pick up coffee, pastries, fruit, etc. at street bakeries and shops nearby to supplement the breakfast. Free wireless internet was great help in using my laptop to track flight availabilities during volcanic ash airline shutdown.

3박 4일로 지내는데 불편한 것 없고 좋았습니다. 위치도 역에서 아주 가깝고 찾기 쉬워요. 바로 근처에 가죽 시장, 한식당, 빨래방도 있어서 이용하기 좋았어요. 데스크에 계시는 플로리오 아저씨께서 친절하게 설명해주셨고, 기차 시간 때문에 오전 7시 정도에 체크 아웃해야 하는데, 아주 수월했네요. 화장실이 살짝 좁지만 불편하지는 않았어요. 분위기도 레트로와 앤티크가 섞인 느낌이라 편안한 느낌. 아침 식사로 주신 빵과 우유, 주스도 잘 먹었습니다. 간식이라고 생각하고 여행할 때 챙겨가서 잘 먹었어요. 저는 추천합니다!

Um charme de local, bem localizado, completo com tudo que precisamos, atendimento nota 10.
O ponto negativo a considerar é a pressão da água, devido a alguma limitação da construção original, o prédio possui uma pressão da água abaixo do normal.
O café da manhã era feito com produtos industrializados e disposto no quarto já no dia anterior, é um café simples porém completo, gostamos dessa liberdade do café, e também os produtos eram de boa qualidade.

일단 테르미니역과 가까워서 가장 좋았어요. 중앙시장이 5분 거리라 이것저것 사러 여러 번 다녔어요. 호텔도 깔끔하고 분위기도 안락하고 좋았습니다. 조식은 미리 준비해둔 빵과 음료 등을 방에 세팅해 두었는데 양도 적지 않았고 커피와 음료는 남았습니다. 휴게실에 자판기 커피를 무료로 먹을 수 있는데 카프치노가 정말 맛있어서 많이 마셨습니다. 참, 샤워를 여러 명이 하면 찬물이 나오니 저녁과 아침으로 적당히 나누어서 사용하면 좋을 것 같습니다. 그리고 청소는 깨끗하게 매일 해주는데 수건은 안 갈아주는 것 같아요. 우리는 2박이었고 작은 수건들이 여러 장이어서 부족하지 않았습니다. 아무튼 잘 쉬었다 왔습니다.
