“Great Location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Old Florence Inn Bed and Breakfast for five nights in May. The location was wonderful - a short walk from the train station and very close to a number of sights, markets, restaurants, etc. We requested and received two 'balcony' or terrace rooms which overlooked the street below. We truly enjoyed watching the action with a bottle of wine, cheese and snacks. We had no problems (as some reviews mentioned) with any street noise, as the hotel has a sound proof awning in addition to the regular doors, which created a great sleeping atmosphere. The room was a good size (the largest we had while traveling) and the bathroom, though small, was adequate. The only improvement needed would be the inroom packaged breakfast, as others have mentioned. The lift is very small, so be prepared to use the stairs. We appreciated Mr. Florio's helpfulness with maps, restaurants, sights, etc. Overall, we had a very nice stay and would recommend the B & B highly!

Room Tip: Request a terrace room.

“Very good B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2011

Stay 2 nights at this B&B, the place is clean and very well soundproofed. Owner is helpful and the location is just 2mins away from the train station. It takes only 15mins to walk to the main sights.

“Close to train station, within walking distance of all areas.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2011

Literally around the corner from the train station, it is very convenient if you come by train. However, we came by car and that was also no problem as they have a valet service who picked up and parked our car for the duration of our stay at 24euro per day, 1euro cheaper than if I paid for it myself at the garage down the street. Breakfast was a little disappointing as it was packaged croissants, toast and jam, but sufficient as there was a number of cafes nearby and even a grocery store next door for fresh fruits and veggies. The B&B is upstairs, but there is a lift, so that was no problem after a long day of touring the city. We were provided some good restaurant recommendations, both at reasonable prices. The room was very clean, but the shower could use some clorox as there was some mold in the tiny shower area. The balcony overlooks the street but we didn't hear much as the doors are soundproof. All in all, we enjoyed our stay here.

“Felt like I belonged here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2010

Perfect except for late night street noise if you are a light sleeper as the location is spot on for train travellers. Easy two minute walk from Santa Maria Novella train station.

“Excellent Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2009

person found this review helpful

This was our third time staying at the Old Florence Inn, and once again it surpassed our expectations.
Before we left Paris, my partner ate some bad chicken, which left her feeling pretty sick, Florio and his staff was incredibility helpful in helping us get an english speaking doctor and even lending us money to pay until we could get to a bank. They did everything they could to help make her comfortable.
To anyone planing a trip to Florence, I would highly recommend this B&B, it has large rooms with balconies on which you can enjoy your breakfast, or a wine or two at night.
Also some of the best dinners we have had in Florence are within easy walking distance.
This trip we had hired a car for the first time (would recommend to anyone driving in Florence, get a GPS!!). Once you arrive at the Inn, ask Florio to ring the garage, and they will send someone over to pick up your car from outside the Inn. Then simply ring them up 30min before you leave, and they will drop your car back to you! and it costs no more then a normal garage rate.
