Great place to stay in Florence. Just note that you are right in the heart of the leather market and if you are a light sleeper, you will hear them setting up (they start early in the morning). We had a great stay, would stay here again.

Nice stay-except for the steps. It’s a very old building, 3rd floor, high ceilings, no elevator. I was not expecting so many steps and with a problem knee it was rough. The A/C worked well, bed was comfortable with nice linens and the staff were very nice and helpful. Right beside Mercato, which is nice- but you have to run the gauntlet of leather hawkers everytime you arrive or depart. Overall good stay, but those steps were brutal.

This was great little room, clean, comfortable bed and mini fridge that they would restoke with complimentary drinks, and coffee. The breakfast in the morning was simple but very nice and you could order a ready made espresso.

The B&B is right on the square with many restaurants and shops which does make it very noisy, probably my only complaint besides some difficulty finding it on day 1. The address was not readily available in Expedia. They however were very responsive in assisting.

It is very close to the train station and an easy walk to main attractions.

Very basic B&B with an excellent location. It is on the 2nd Floor (3rd floor American) of the building so there is some necessary climbing. The room was fine. The bathroom is good. I could barely sleep however as the heater in the room was oppressive. You'd turn it off and it would turn itself back on about an hour later. I woke up sweating multiple times for two nights. No matter what I did (turned off, turned the temperature down as low as it would go, etc) - it still came on full blast.

1-It isn’t mentioned anywhere that we have to carry our bags for 2 floors and there’s no one to help.
2-The lady comes in the morning at like 7, and speaks so loud without any consideration that people are sleeping 2 meters away since it’s actually an apartment with different rooms.
3-It is mentioned nowhere that the movable stores wake you up everyday at 6…so it’s centered yes but with so much inconvenience as well as late sleep because of the bar downstairs and wake up at 6 because of the street shops and tents.

Il Mercato Centrale offers an excellent central location right in the heart of the San Lorenzo Market district. From the moment you step inside, the building gives an atmosphere of a traditional Florentine residence. You can see that it was once a private apartment with beautiful high ceilings, which has been thoughtfully converted into several guest rooms with a shared breakfast area.
Staff are present mainly in the mornings and early afternoons. Staying here felt like living in a local home, yet having the independence to come and go as you please.
Our room was spacious, spotless, and very well maintained. The mini fridge was perfect for keeping drinks cool, and we appreciated the complimentary beverages provided on arrival. A continental breakfast was included in the rate—simple, yet good quality and more than enough to keep us going until lunchtime.
One of the highlights of our stay was meeting Bouchra. She greeted us warmly at check-in and served breakfast throughout most of our visit. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality made our stay truly memorable. Thank you, Bouchra, for your wonderful care and conversation. Hope to see you again soon! A presto!

Location was convenient and walking distance from the train station and major attractions. Room was clean and spacious. Bathroom lacks furniture to place clothes or towels. Hot water in the shower is nice. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Breakfast is really good and kept us full for a long time. Unfortunately A/C is timed controlled and without A/C with the windows open the noise outside starts at 4 am and will not let you sleep at all. That is extremely unfortunate and could be easily solved if they would let the guest control the A/C for the full night. There is a steep stair to access the B&B 2 stories up. No elevator.

The room is exceptional. Comfortable bed and heat to have a coffee machine in the room. Free beverages in mini bar which was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was superb.
Only bad thing is no elevator not good for kids or elderly.
Noise is really bad when it’s nighttime and early morning as the leather market is right outside below the windows.

We stayed in the Blu room. Everything was great, Bruscha (I think is her name) was wonderful. She took care of the check-in, cleaning and breakfast. Place was clean and very close to all the attractions, we walked everywhere. Breakfast was sufficient, a couple cold cuts, boiled egg, assorted pastries and bread and coffee to order. The mini fridge was stocked with complimentary drinks.

Only con was that the AC kept cutting out at night, but I think it’s an Italy thing because it happened with our other hotels. Temperature wise, it was cool enough in October that we can open the window and be fine. The downside was that the market is right outside and was very noisy throughout the night (with the window open). We would be back!

Nice room for one or two people. A/c was great! Nice view of market and street area. The person on staff was super helpful. Continental breakfast was adequate start to the day. Allows leaving bags before checking in and after checking out. You will have to walk in from a block or two away due to busy market in the streets during the day

This is really more of a B&B than a hotel. The entrance was not marked well but once you know where it is, it is an easy entrance. Thwre are 3 steep flights up the stairs (no elevator) The location is very close to all the major sights and you can walk everywhere. There are excellent restaurants in walking distance. The service provided by staff was excellent and the room was very spacious, and came with a filled small frosge that was free to use. The only downside to this location is the noise - the daily market with very touristy vendors is open until 7 pm daily and the cleanup takes place until late at night, then there are people out and about late at night, and then at 6 am the vendors for the market start setting up again. But the convience to everything was well worth it.

Very easy and convenient location. Host was very accommodating and let us check in early. Breakfast was more than expected with a variety of pastries, yogurt, juices, coffee, fruit and cereal.

I may have misread only 4 stairs to the hotel, but it was 4 stories of stairs. A difficulty for my husband.

The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable, and bath supplies plentiful.

Very nice and they let us leave our luggage after checkout to retrieve later. I recommend Hotel Il Mercato Centrale… part of the marketplace and next to Pinocchio Restaurant… a favorite of ours.

This hotel exceeded my expectations! They really thought of everything — not just shampoo and shower gel, but also toothbrushes, toothpaste, little chocolates, and a few free drinks in the minibar.

When I checked in, the AC was already on — such a small thing, but it makes a big difference and was so appreciated. Staff also helped me find ideal parking for my large car, and earplugs were provided since the street can get a bit noisy at night.

Breakfast had a nice variety: pastries, boiled eggs, cereal, and juices. And the location is perfect — everything is within a 15-minute walk.

It’s not just a room, it’s an experience. Highly recommend!

We were able to drop our bags off prior to check in and this was such a bonus. The young girl in charge even helped us carry our suitcases up the. stairs and was incredibly helpful with any questions or requests. The room was very well equipped, even having a mini bar with free drinks. Breakfast was basic but good. The only down side for us was the noise from the markets and market square. This was not softened by shutters but on the bright side, they did provide ear plugs. Very clean and central for a stay in Florence.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We notified our hosts that we would arrive a couple hours earlier than the check in time and they had our room available when we arrived. We stayed in the Blue room and it was very clean and modern and the location is great - just 10 minutes walk from Santa Maria Novella train station and 5 minutes from the cathedral. The 2 girls who were working there were very friendly. The only downside I can say is you need to walk up 4 floors to reach the property so just be prepared for that. I would definitely stay here again.
