I absolutely loved how helpful and kind the staff were! Traveling as two young women, I felt taken care of. Anika at the front desk was so kind and helpful- she was accommodating and even helped me book a 4:30am taxi to the airport! Uber was going to charge me 100 € but the hotels taxi service only charged me 55€ and they were there on time. Also, I asked for twin beds and they made sure to fix it after the first night. They’re very communicative and let you know everything via WhatsApp and answer promptly too. In addition, there’s free breakfast in the morning! The space is small but it’s functional and cute and Pam was so hospitable too. I don’t like that it was farther from the city center, but accessing the bus was super easy- just a 5 minute walk. The area also felt safe. Very nice altogether! Cute interior and nice bathrooms. Definitely recommend!

If you are going in summer, go somewhere else...
It was 30.5° and the place has no air conditioning, well let me correct that, they had a unit in my room, but when I lifted the panel the controls were broken out. Anytime I was in the room I was sweating, absolutely ridiculous. The woman at the front desk told me to open up the window, but the window opens to the busy, noisy street.
I paid to have breakfast included and it was terrible, I didn't even bother going down for breakfast the 2nd day it was so bad.
I will never book there again.

Staff were professional, friendly and helpful. I couldn’t fault there helpful attention to every request. Explained the local bus services well, provided a map and arranged for a taxi to the train station at 5 am. It’s not in the city centre but close enough for a short bus ride.( just tap & go/ don’t tap off)
The room was ideal, not the perfect outlook but you’re not here to sit in your room. The bathroom was clean but a little tired. The electrics were a little challenging but got there in the end.
Air conditioning was temperamental. Even when it was off (on the thermostat) it was providing heat ???
Also be mindful there are steep stairs to reception which maybe an issue for some.
As a base for a few nights ( if you don’t mind the stairs to reception) this was an ideal place to stay .

Super cute little place. No elevators and plenty of stairs. As a family of 4 we did not like that 2 beds were sofa beds and extremely uncomfortable. We had to request another mattress be put on top. The breakfast room is very tiny. About 3 tables and you need to book a time to eat and very unlikely you get the time you want. Our room had \"2\" bathrooms, but not really. 1 bathroom had a toilet and shower, the other had a sink and a shower. Very odd. I would only recommend if there were only 2 of us going.

The place is itself and the rooms are quite lovely. It is a bit further from the center which I liked as you get more of a neighborhood feel and not a place full of tourists. The staff were all for the most part quite helpful and friendly. Even bringing me a tea service up to the 2nd floor. My problem was with the cleanliness of my room. I found long dark hairs all over my bathroom. I mean ALL over and in the shower and on the bidet. There were also a pair of socks in a corner by the couch and then half eaten candy and a wrapper on the floor next to the window. I could see all the dust that was gathered along the floorboards by the window. I was really only there for two nights and travel with my own Lysol wipes so I cleaned off the shower and bidet myself and used the towels to move all the hair over to a corner. The room was still being cleaned when I arrived and I wished theyd have just taken their time and cleaned it properly. As lovely as the rooms are I will NOT stay at that place again.

A gem in a quiet neighborhood

We had a most wonderful stay at the Hotel Rosary Garden! They answered several questions before the trip and made check in very easy. We loved the orientation to the city, advice about the bus and they kindly answered any question. The room was spacious, with a beautiful mural of the city and immaculate and also immaculately cleaned daily. There was also a charming sitting room on our floor. A highlight was starting each morning with their breakfast and warm hospitality by Dino. The hotel is conveniently located and it was easy to get to the center of Florence by bus or long walk if you prefer. We loved coming back to the quiet of the hotel and the non touristy neighborhood. There are several restaurants within a block and a large grocery shop and mall as well. I highly recommend this gem of a hotel while exploring Florence!

The front desk staff was very helpful with all things. The only downside is it is not close to the city center and you need to take the bus to get to the center. However there is a stop right in front of the hotel. The breakfast is ok. If you are looking for a hot breakfast every morning this place is not for you. They have a small breakfast room and they ask you for the time you plan on eating. Dino in the breakfast room is a plus. He knows the area very well and is originally from Canada. Rooms were very spacious, clean and the bathroom is one of the bigger ones I've been in Italy.

The hotel is located a short bus ride (15 minutes) from the city center, but that distance is easily walkable on a nice day if you want some exercise. Our room was spacious and clean, and we enjoyed the complimentary mini-bar drinks and the alcoholic drinks in the sitting room when we returned at the end of the day.

Truly the best service and hospitality experience we have EVER had while traveling. Monica is absolutely incredible. She is so kind and helpful. It is evident that Rosary Garden is so much for than a job or business for her. Her guests are her top priority and it is her passion to create an amazing stay for each of them. She adds so many extra touches in the hotel, like complimentary espresso, snacks, and bikes.

The location of Rosary Garden is perfect. Quiet and away from the Florence center but only 15min bus ride to the city. The bus stop is literally in front of the hotel and costs only $1.50 euros. As there are no Ubers in Italy, being able to take the bus rather than having to call a taxi to the hotel each time you want to leave is perfect. Not to mention the best gelato in Italy right next to the hotel as well!

Monica is so sweet. She remembers even the smallest details about her clients. When we first arrived, my husband and I made a funny comment about really liking her pens - they were great quality! To our surprise, when we came back to our room on the last night, she had left a little gift bag and note with two pens in it, thanking us for staying at Rosary Garden. That kind of thoughtfulness is unparalleled with any hotel experience I've ever had. Thank you, Monica! We were so happy with our stay at Rosary Garden and will most definitely be back!

Stay away and stay elsewhere

Stay away if you can
I seldom take the time to leave a negative reviews, as I am a world traveller and I find most issues workable. This was not the case.
PIctures on the site were done by a very good marketing agent. For a US traveller this will equate to a Holiday Inn Express-Motel 6 experience.
-First; No lift; ( understand this is fairly common in Europe, in historical hotels ) This is a modern property and they do have a lift to connect to the breakfast room, yet not available to some rooms ( our room ) Stairs from the street and on and the poor ( Very nice guy ) and myself almost feel bring them up.
Mattresses: very uncomfortable. Back hurting the following day, Booked a Quad room for 4 and there were two tiny sofa beds for the 2 extra beds, extremely uncomfortable
Free Wifi: It never worked, tried to do a bit of work while way, impossible.
The worst: 4 tiny tables in the tiny \"breakfast room\". We tried to go out to breakfast 2 times and could not as they were all occupied. We were then called to have breakfast, only to be rushed to eat in five minutes, as it was past the \"breakfast time\" while rude person had taken most of the items out and stated several times that she needed to close the room ( hotel has 15 plus rooms . I will stay at a Motel Six before I return here.
Positive Note: Rodrigo was extremely attentive, courteous.
Final note: book elsewhere if you can

This is a small, comfortable, traditional style hotel, situated some distance from centre of town. Staff are English speaking and very helpful. Rooms are good size and well furnished. We loved the bed- firm and large! En suite bathroom with good sized controllable shower. Clean and new towels as required.
No proper bar, just very small areas where tea, coffee and cake available all day.
WiFi in rooms. Breakfast typical continental with lovely sweet croissants and rolls- service very attentive.
TV in Italian mainly. Criticism is noise travels easily and the loud banging of the front door was annoying.
Area is served by regular buses to all the famous landmarks. Also walkable if you choose to.
There is private parking but at 9 euros a day, quite expensive when you also pay a city tax on top of cost of hotel. A few restaurants locally but check if they are happy to use English or not. Overall a good experience.

Beautiful small hotel with amazing staff.

The hotel was small but high quality. The staff were amazing, without even asking they helped us make a plan for visiting the inner city during the big runners marathon that had most of the bridges closed. Make sure you visit the Gelletaria around the corner.

Comfortable good value hotel

This hotel was good value,. Whilst we realised that the price reflected the distance from the city centre it was certainly a lot longer than a 20 minute walk - nearer 40-50 mins.
However there was a frequent and cheap bus service nearby. On the whole the staff were very friendly but it wasn’t until the last day that we discovered we should have been given a map and some advice on travel into the centre along with the opportunity to buy bus tickets at the reception for a cheaper price. This was a pity but the very helpful lady on reception that last day did apologise for the oversight. We also weren’t told about the guest lounge on the next floor which we didn’t discover until just before we went home. on the whole a pleasant hotel with fair facilities

comfortable hotel

having read a lot of reviews about Rosary Garden before we booked we were not disappointed it is a lovely hotel and Monica and all the staff are wonderful Our flight was delayed and so arrived rather late they suggested the best way to get there safely that time of night they were so helpful with everything that we needed including the loan of a travel plug !! complimentary drinks in fridge in our room and drinks and cakes on offer during the day were very nice too! The bus service was excellent we bought a 3 day ticket for 12 euros which was amazing value as you could use it for every bus and tram all day Would definitely come back to stay at Rosary Garden if we ever decided to come back to Florence again thank you Monica and all the staff

far from the madding crowd

out of the city but excellent public transport to get to the city and the sites. Fantastic little pizzeria next to the hotel, with delicious real Italian food! Hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. Room was tasteful but a little cramped, breakfast was sufficient.

A pleasant and quiet family hotel

Excellent value for money. Staff in general were very attentive to my needs and tried as much as possible to accommodate these needs throughout my stay. The room was really spacious, clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Although a small family-run hotel, Rasary Gardens is worth s visit! Special thanks to the staff. They do understand that 'the customer comes first' and endeavoured to demonstrate that in their dealings with their guests. Many thanks to Monica, Rodrigo, Marco and the lovely chef 😊

A quirky and quaint treasure

Quirky, quaint and quiet. Escape central Florence frenzy with a short bus ride to this little treasure. Surprising complimentary mini bar, and lounge goodies. Friendly and helpful staff will assist you in your tours. A delightful winner!

Small family run hotel in Florence.

Small, charming, family run hotel, which sits south of the river Arno, in the suburbs of Florence.The hotel staff are very friendly, courteous, informative and extremely helpful. During our 10 day stay, the hotel staff team spent hours helping us with local information, booking trips, attraction visits, train tickets, taxis and bus tickets. AII the staff have very good English. We enjoyed a nice continental breakfast buffet in the quaint but small dining room. The en-suite room was clean and tidy. The hotel is near to a regular bus route into the centre Florence. (20 mins approx) However the bus is very often full, standing room only. The hotel provides free mini bar in the room and afternoon tea/coffee with croissants and cake in small sitting room. There is a supermarket across the square which provides most things that you may require during your stay.
