Stephen Adam
Useful location for a quick overnight stay.
Wendy
I had an emergency situation that could have required me to cancel my booking for two rooms for a one-night stay. I knew this could be the case, so I booked the refundable option. In the end, I was right and had to cancel, but by the time I got to the internet, it was 12:30 am on the cancellation day - a half hour after the deadline. I explained the situation to Expedia starting at 1 am. I called and messaged the hotel starting at 8 am to explain the situation. But despite all this effort (again, with only a 30-minute overrun), the hotel had no compassion; the \"contract rules\" were stated. For a service-centred business, I could not believe how rigid and unforgiving they were. They said they had too many cancellations this summer and couldn't afford to make an exception. I tested this response by seeing if I could book a room for some time later in the rest of the week - they were sold out - this was just a money grab for them. There was zero compassion, not even grace for one of the two rooms. After confirming there was no way to get any refund, we gave the rooms to our kids to use - in one room, the sheets were wet. They were too tired and irritated to complain. This is that complaint.
Donna
Clean room. Staff was very helpful
Wen Yu
We stayed at this B&B for two nights with our family. The location was good, and the staff at the front desk was very friendly.
Room cleanliness was disappointing. Both black blankets were visibly dirty and stained, so we ended up using only the clean sheets underneath, which meant we had to turn off the AC at night.
We had also requested two separate single beds for the kids, but this was not provided. Maybe because their office is closed after 2pm?
Another issue was that the front desk is only staffed from 8am to 2pm, so we couldn’t request replacement blankets later in the day. Even if we could, we were uncomfortable as we weren’t confident the blankets were properly cleaned.
The complimentary breakfast was also very disappointing. There is no on-site restaurant, and the voucher only allowed a very limited menu at a café across the street - a mini cup of coffee, a small juice (like a toddler-sized portion in the US), a mini sandwich (more like a snack than a meal), and a mini omelet made of two small fried eggs on half a slice of white toast that wasn’t enough for our 10-year-old son. We had to eat something else right after since the food was not enough at all! So don’t be fooled by their ads.
Overall, the location and friendly staff were the highlights, but the poor cleanliness, limited front desk hours, and misleading breakfast made the stay very disappointing. I’ll not recommend to stay there for families.

Good stay. Kind staff. Breakfast is across the street and includes a specialty coffee, oj or pineapple juice, and then a croissant (pistachio, Nutella, or crème) and either an omelette or mini sandwich. Solid breakfast! AC could’ve been colder. Says it was 16 Celsius but it definitely felt closer to 24 Celsius (75 Fahrenheit).
Kimberley
Great location, close to the train station, making it very convenient for travel. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Communication from the staff was excellent they were friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I would happily stay here again.
Songul
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The housekeeping team did an excellent job, and everything was kept very clean throughout my stay. Whenever I needed something, it was provided quickly, and the cleaners were always smiling and polite.
However, the room was much smaller than I expected. There was only a small area to hang clothes, but no additional wardrobe or storage space for luggage and personal belongings.
The hotel was also very noisy. There was a lot of noise and disturbance starting early in the morning, so it is definitely not a quiet place to stay.
On the positive side, the receptionist, Anna, was exceptional. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and assisted me with everything I needed during my stay.
The location is fantastic — very central and convenient. Everything is within walking distance, and you have easy access to all the main attractions, shops, and restaurants.

Brandon
Great stay! Run was ready early and right by the train station. Would definitely stay again.
Elora
The room was not super clean. We cleaned it ourselves upon arriving and many parts were dirty. Did not like the shower because there was a very high step to get in it and it was tiny. You could barely move around. The shower is not good for older individuals.
Isabelita
Centrally located, easy access tontrain station
Ziru
Our room was clean and staff were very nice! only complaint was a little noisy early in the morning at times (?construction noise) and occasional noise from upstairs. There was also no laundry we could do ourselves on site.
Stuart
The property was clean, comfortable and well situated. The staff were all friendly.
Kelsey
Really great spot, my only complaint was that the shower wasn’t working well. But they helped us check in early and were so so helpful and kind. Would definitely stay again
Isabella
Great location, very clean, helpful staff!
Micah
Convenient place to stay right by the train station!
Geneva
The room itself is nice. Shower is quite tight! Air Conditioning worked great and automatic shutters to keep the room dark were awesome. We thought the close proximity to the train station and main streets would be the reason for noise, however, whoever or whatever is above the accommodation is incredibly loud all hours of the day and night. This made it difficult to sleep. Otherwise, it’s a decent place to stay for a quick trip in Florence.
Johanna
My husband and I stayed at La Residenza dell’Orafo in Florence for 3 days and had a very nice stay overall. The location was excellent, it’s within walking distance to the train station and very close to many of the main tourist attractions, which made getting around the city very easy.
Our room also had a small terrace, which was a lovely bonus and a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing. The shower was a bit small, and there was some noise at night, but nothing too disruptive.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient place to stay while visiting Florence.

Great location central to everything. Staff was great, room was spacious and everything you needed for a quick stop in Florence. Would definitely stay again!
Karlo Cesar III
Great location close to train station. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Location is busy and loud traffic. Central AC/Heating connected to all units. So if someone is using heating in another unit, you can’t use the AC. Overall, good accomodation if you’re staying in Florence for a day/night.
Natalie
Large elegant room, clear arrival instructions, very convenient for train station and nice breakfast at cafe across the road.
Ryan
Great stay and very close to everything.
Angeli
Friendly staff
James
Great staff. Very helpful. Comfortable quiet room!
Katelin
The staff was very nice and friendly. The room was ok for what we needed. There was however mold in the shower, the bed was not comfortable and the “balcony” overlooked a nasty smelly area. It was next to the train station so nice that we didn’t have to go far. If I had not of been with my husband I would not have stayed in this area. It’s very very busy and not a super safe area. My fault I guess for booking in the area.
karen
Before you back ask if the construction noise is completed. The room was too small to open a small suitcase and construction on the building next door starts at 7:30 am. So loud! Not worth the money at all. Stay elsewhere.
Mike
Comfortable stay in a convenient location
Great location near the train station and a short walk to the duomo area. The room was clean and comfortable, with an easy check in.
I would recommend!

Comfortable bed with luxurious linens. 5min walk from the train station and about 15-20mins to the river. The host was very attentive and answered any questions we had during our stay We recommend checking out the Central Market for lunch/dinner which is 5mins away!
Jason
Very friendly staff.
Jose
The room was clean and nice with a cold AC. We got it because it was near the train station. They allowed us to check in early which was great, since it was cleaned and available. Which doesn’t always happen in other hotels even if they are clean and available.
Melissa
Breakfast cafe was terrible we only used it once. Location convent but noisy
Lauren
Great spot, would recommend!
Very nice clean room, as described, close to train and walkable to most attractions. It was a bit noisy but to be expected in middle of that area

We loved everything about our room. Very spacious and super tidy. Very comfortable beds and high quality bed linen and towels. The shower was incredible! The area is well connected and walking distance from the main attractions. Elisa was always available when we needed her. We highly recommend la Residencia Dell'Oraffo.

Seema
The receptionist stated an hour longer to meet us and explained the access keys etc. Chiara was very personable and caring and made our stay enjoyable. Any problems encountered were addressed promptly. Help was extended with taxi bookings or bus route guidance. We didn’t pay for breakfast as plenty of cafes, including McDonald, Burger King. A supermarket next door was convenient for buying water, snacks etc.
The only negative was a lack of cupboards, drawers for storing clothes. The B&B location was perfect for short walk to main train station and all the popular sites, restaurants etc. We loved eating at a popular place requiring reservation- ZA-ZA.
Tour meeting points also close by.

Claudia
Staff was very helpful and kind. Easy check in. The area isn’t the best, considering it’s right next to the train station, but convenient for travel. The room was much smaller in person, and our bed was 2 twins pushed together. Comforter was black so it just always looked dirty. The shower/bathroom was a lot smaller in person and uncomfortable to bathe in. Towels had stains which wasn’t pleasant. Don’t bother with the free breakfast either across the street.
Verified traveler
Great location; amenities limited-only one cup provided for our room with two ppl. Room is noisy as it is facing the street, not much difference with the balcony door closed or open.
KIMIKO
The location is very convenient.
However, there’s no place to put shampoo in the shower room, so I had to leave it on the floor, which was inconvenient.
The smallest room is a bit too small, so I’d recommend getting a slightly larger one instead.

Jessica
This is a perfect property for a staybin florance. Private entrance with secure locking, can come and go as you please. The room was beautiful and newly renovated. Bed was very comfortable and more bedding options available which was great for the chsnging weather. We had a little balcony in our room which overlooked the Balisca close to the train station which eas wonderful. We sat with a bottle of wine and soaked in the lovely scenery. The amenties in the room were great. Good size fridge for drinks to be stored and refilled coffe and tea each day with a good size kettle. Tv was brilliant as it was smart so we could stream from it.
The check in was easy, the room was very clean and the noise was minimal considering there are lots of people in the building. Outside there are local supermarkets, shops and cafes and the walk to the cathedral in Florence was 10 minutes! The train station was barely a 2 minute walk which is even better! Highly recommend this hotel!

Nice!
Perfect location, very clean and comfortable room, but some street noise at night from nearby bar. Service was perfect. Recommended!
Richard
Perfect and convenient stay for Florence.
We had a lovely stay. Convenient for thr train an bus services. All attractions were within walking distance. Surrounded by shops and restaurants. Breakfast was a lovely continental style nearby and room was clean with everything you need for a short stay.
Benjamin
Breakfast is excellent!
Chandler
Nice, large room that is conveniently located near the train station. We were pleased with decor, cleanliness, and surprising quiet at night of the hotel. I really appreciated the expresso machine in the lobby.
Bonnie
Rome Train Station a Huge Disappointment
Unfortunately, Rome Train Station had a strike and couldn’t function causing changes to our itinerary - not any fault of the hotel- the peopl were so kind and informative and I would hope we get a refund - as we incurred another expense. We used hiotels under my friend’s name to book another room- Linda Rupp. We incurred a huge expense and loss as a result. I doubt that we will ever return to Rome again.
Philemon
Place is clean and roomy. But shower unit is tiny.
ATSUKO
Comfortable and convenient
Close to the train station, bus stops, grocery stores and the room was beautiful and spacious. The receptionist was very helpful as well. We had a good time shopping and sightseeing. Thank you!
Atalay
Very close to train station. Not very clean and looks very old
Jane
I was able to check in 2.5 hours early, the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was big with high ceiling and modern decor. There were 2 windows in the room which made the room even more spacious feeling. Bathroom had modern decor as well. The location of this place was so convenient, next to bus station, steps away from the train station, minutes walk to central market and city center. Would definitely stay here again if coming to Florence again.
JILL
We liked the B & B. Seem to be conserving toilet paper. We ran out two days in a row.
Val
This was an excellent place to stay. Very close to the Train Station the check in was easy you just fill out the online forms they send you enter passport and credit card and they only charge you the city tax if you paid for it in advance through Expedia or other site. They gave me a door code the morning of my arrival and the room was ready on time. The room was clean and safe. The bed was soft and comfortable. The breakfast was provided free at a coffee shop across the street pretty easy for a light breakfast to start the day. I would recommend staying here. No hassles no face to face interaction just a clean comfortable room.
Keith

Serena

Jonathan
Host was friendly and provided all necessary information to us upon check-in.
Donna
Loved the location and the cleanliness of the property. The location made it very easy to drop off our luggage after arriving at the train station. Then we could walk all around to other sites, etc. My only issue with the location was the bed was a much harder bed than I was used to.
BERNADETTE

Marsha
Right where you want to be
Excellent location in Florence. 5 minute walk from the train station and close to all the sites. Plenty of food options, and if you are really hard up there is a McDonalds on the corner. Quiet with great Wi-Fi.
Craig
Great rooms, just not much front desk service
Well, they have about a 2-hour window to check in, from 3 to 4:30, and to check out, from about 8:30 to 10:30, but if you can work that into your travels, the room was super comfortable, and actually had working air-conditioning, unlike the other 3 and 4 star hotels I booked during our Italian trip. On a busy street, but good soundproofing. As others have mentioned, the elevator is tiny, and can only fit one person with luggage at a time (not easily).
If you can put up with the quirky check in and checkout, and the elevator, you can get a great room for a great price in a great location. Breakfast is OK.

The facility is like a traditional B&B but the service and Frederika is the best.

Avoid this place!!!
I wish I could give 0 star if there is an option. I booked this place for two nights when I decided to bring my parents who are both in their 70s for the first Europe trip. This place have limited check in hours and requires calling them 48 hours ahead if you check in after 5pm which I did but end up no one answer the call. We arrived Florence around 8pm and it was a very freezing heavy rainy night. When we finally found the resident building and tried to contact them but still no one answer the phone, even Hotels.com customer service can not reach them. It ended up we spent another $800 to book a 2 star hotel which is the only one still have vacancy in that area and my mom caught cold after that night. They totally ruined my trip, avoid this place if you don’t wanna have my experience!!

Room clean and super close to train station, overall very clean and good room to stay in. Walking distance to everything we wanted. Only downside is the shower space was really really small so factor that in before staying otherwise staff really nice and good location if utilising the Italian rail system

No air conditioning
The air conditioning was not working. There was no staff on site and no one to call. The hotel provided a telephone number but indicated “emergency only”. We opened the windows to find broken screens that let in mosquitoes.

Bon rapport qualité/prix
Très bon rapport qualité-prix. Le personnel est courtois et sympathique. La chambre offre toutes les commodites malgré sa petitesse. Nous avions une fenêtre directement sur la rue et malgré tout c’était bien insonorisé. L’accès facile à la gare de train est un plus à l’arrivée et au départ.

Property very convenient next to the main train station. Breakfast at cafe across the street was excellent. Manager was very helpful.

Fran is a wonderful host and I loved my Sun Room. Spacious, light, great location and neighborhood. She thought of everything, easy to communicate and clear checkin and checkout. Can’t wait to come back!!

Room was spacious(for Europe), clean, modern, and had a mini-fridge kettle, tea and coffee. Our room faced inward, away from the street and was quiet. Very close to the train station, and very close to all the tourist areas. Really enjoyed our stay.
The only negative is that is very close to the train station, and the people that hang about. Not an issue though and felt totally safe at all times, day and night.

Staff was great! Was able to schedule a taxi for 4am, for us. Room was nice and clean, and shower was wonderful. The outside noise was a little loud, just people going to and coming back from bars almost all night. We were there just there a night, but it was a good location. Close to train station. Also since we had such an early flight, and were going to miss the breakfast provided, we were given the vouchers, and were able to pick it up the day before and take it with us in the morning. It was great!

Great location! Very comfortable B&B!
It was excellent! Great location! Even though the streets were very busy, we didn't hear a sound at night and the beds were very comfortable! Check-in was great even after hours, it was very easy and instructions were very clear! Everything was clean and enjoyable. I wished I would have stayed longer. I would recommend anyone this B&B if you are going to Florence.

Enjoyed the staying
It’s very roomy for a family of four adults, very close to the train station, walking distance to everything else.

Could have been 5 stars
I would have given 5 stars if not for the hot water issue. I had 2 days of cold showers and bathroom fan was as loud as a plane.
When i mentioned that i had no water they said it would be fixed,but next day it wasn't. When i did mention this at check out ,all they said was \" im sorry\" .
Too bad other than for this.

Upon arrival the immediate area outside the property made me feel unsafe. It is not in a great location. The building itself is not well-kept; it's extremely old and dirty. The elevator is probably the original elevator from the 1800's and looked incredibly unreliable so I did not want to get stuck in there and decided to schlep my suitcase up 3 flights of stairs. The hallway lights were out, so I felt even more uneasy that there could be strange people in the building. Last but not least, the code I was given to get in the actual unit did not work and there were no people on site so I left and had to find a new hotel. Worst honeymoon experience of my life. Furthermore, La Residenza is unwilling to cooperate with me and refund my money, so I will be taking it up with Expedia and/or my credit card company. Do not book here, you will thank me later! I'm not sure how this place has good reviews.

Lovely spacious room with tall ceilings, restful decor, and mini-fridge, coffee/tea setup, great breakfast included. Welcome was wonderful.
Victoria
Very nice and helpful check in staff. She helped me arrange an early morning taxi and register for a COVID test. This is very near the McDonalds and train station so there’s a lot of foot and vehicle traffic but super convenient to the train. Rooms are cute, clean and there is a lift to their floor.

Great location, walking distance from the main train station and short walk to all the tourist attractions. Our room within the B&B was nice. It was fairly big and clean. It was noisy if you opened the window, but the room also had air conditioning. The bathroom was tiny and I knocked my elbows a couple of times when in the shower. Breakfast wasn't great either. It was served over the road in a cafe which was very busy and breakfast for the BB guests was very basic.

Fantastico!
