ummh...Ok...Leonardo himself sent me an email a few days before our arrival to his hostel asking around what time we would be arriving, and he also sent me his phone #, email address, and chat address. I was not sure at that point at time exactly we would be getting there, so I didn't answer. Once we actually traveled to... More

Leonardo was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I was with my elderly mother and he made sure we were both as comfortable as possible and knew where to go. The hotel is walking distance to so many attractions. So happy we stayed here!

When just getting off of the train in Florence, you can feel a bit turned around before you even set off for where you think might be the right direction. Having trouble? Call Leonardo. During years in Europe and on this particular 3 month trip, I have never encountered anyone more helpful. Leonardo will personally meet you at the station... More

It isn't exactly a luxury hotel, but it is close to everything, it's very affordable, and it's clean and safe. I am usually fairly wary of shared bathroom hostel-esque places because I don't want to be woken up to techno music at 2am. But this place was quiet and the staff were extremely helpful and kind. And the shared bathrooms... More

Leonardo House is a great place to stay at in Florence if what you are looking for is simple clean accommodation and excellent location. Our room was quite spacious and silent and the bathrooms, which were shared, were always perfectly clean. Leonardo pays attention to every detail to make sure you have a pleasant stay and he also gives you... More

Leonardo's House is very near to the train station and it is a very clean hostel. We were really helped by Leonardo on planning the route for sightseeing and the restaurants to eat. Our stay was really memorable and we are definitely staying here again if we return to Florence.

Leonardo's is in easy walking distance of most of the attractions and the train station... even if we did get lost finding it! Leonardo is really friendly and helpful and on your arrival gives you a map with all the main attractions highlighted which is really useful. The rooms are basic but clean. As two girls travelling on our own... More

Really enjoyed our stay at Leonardo House. The location is excellent: 10 minute walk from the train station and only 4 minute walk to the Florence Cathedral. Leonardo is very friendly and helpful. He gave us some great tips on where to eat and gave us a map with all the sites circled. Also, the rooms and bathrooms are clean... More

This hostel was in a great location. And that was about it. We were on a 2 week vacation and unfortunately this was the least favorite of all the places we stayed. We were quite spoiled with other hostels we stayed at. While the location was ideal, the hostel was just average. It was not that clean (especially the room)... More
