The way I review things is based on my expectations. At the price point and with everything clearly described in the listing I cannot find fault. Yes there are steps, but the ad says no elevator, it’s slightly noisy but you should know this at the location you have chosen. It’s at the lower price point of one night stays in this location so all things considered it’s a perfect spot. Location couldn’t be better. Perfect 1 night stay

Nothing I shouldn’t expect at the price point location and given the photos and description I had when booking.

location to sites and distance to train station was fantastic, we walked everywhere during our stay. supermarket was across the street for provisions. we stayed in room six with balcony overlooking the Duomo roof. we had our own bathroom within our room which was spacious. check in was quick and easy. some rooms are located by the area of reception on one of the levels and then other rooms are located two floors up on another level.

for those with respiratory problems or difficulty with stairs would suggest you stay elsewhere. we loved this stay and room 6 was worth the 80 stairs up because view was amazing and room lovely. my husband and I are 60 and we just rested half way up.

the location was the start of the stay. round the corner form the main cathedral and just 10 min walk from the main station. heaps of cafes and restaurants around the area. all within walking distance. the room was old but with high ceiling which made it authentic for us.

noise ll the day and night, but ok.

The location is very central a few steps away from the Duomo. Every other main attraction of the city is easily within reach. The area is busy and rather noisy till late but we didn't mind hearing the sounds of live music in the piazza and chattering of passers by; after all we were on holiday for a few days, so this did not bother us. The guesthouse is old, amenities are basic but sufficient, the room included a private bathroom and general level of cleanliness is good. Housekeeping is good and towels are changed daily. The room was comfortable in the sense that it was private and I could even go out at 5.30am without disturbing or bothering anyon. We could also keep luggage at reception on checkout which gave us the possibility of a few more hours before we departing Florence. All in all, we enjoyed our stay at the Guesthouse Bel Duomo and would highly recommend it for the good reasons given above.

The bathroom was a bit smelly at times (drainage) which would necessitate keeping the door closed so that the smell won't disperse in the bedroom. The kitchen hob was out of order although we didn't really need to use it, except for an electric kettle that was actually available (but maybe for others the hob might come in handy).

Dear Giulio, It's me Laurentia, I am very grateful to you, for picking me up at the station (because I would have cried, if you hadn't picked me up) - I am happy to stay at your hotel - Hotel close to many attractions in Florence - Lots of food around the hotel - The view from my window is beautiful (Duomo Dome) However, if I may suggest, I hope that in the future your hotel will have an elevator. Thank you so much Giulio, God bless you PS : and Yes Giulio, your hotel is safe because "Nobody eat me or stab me at night" hahahhahahha :)

I hope, in the future you hotel will have an elevator :)

It was very close to Central Florence (like just a few steps from the Duomo). And only a 10 minute walk from the train station.

It was a little difficult to find at first. If the hotel could provide some picture instructions, that would be super helpful!

The location is absolutely amazing! The place is quite little, but very charming. It was very clean and we had a lovely vacation in Firenze. To be this close to everything was exceptional. Next time we will book the room with the Duomo view for sure. Giulio was a lovely host. :)

-There is nothing we didn’t like, but if you’re a bit if a fussy traveller you should note that for some rooms, the bathroom is outside the room (we had no problems with this, it was still very private). - Before booking, you should also take into consideration that there are some steep stairs to climb before getting to the apartment and no elevator. Again, for us this was not an issue but if you’re less mobile, this is something to note.

The location was simply so great. The staff was very polite.

I stayed in a windowless room. I think, they had already set a suitable price for it. I think it was a perfect price-performance room, so I booked it knowingly. The only problem was rainy night. There was a system on the ceiling of the room for ventilation. When it rained, the dripping sounds from this system were a bit loud. The reason I say this, the business maybe can find a solution to this problem.

Great location - you can walk everywhere from here. Lots of sights nearby. Lots of restaurants, a supermarket, bars, gelato nearby. Comfortable room. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Great for short stay, you might want a bit more room (no real common rooms typical of hotels or hotel restaurant/bar) if you stay longer in Florence.

Some things to consider: it is on a pedestrian only street, so you’ll have a few minutes walk to get you and your luggage there from a taxi. There is no elevator, so you’ll have to carry your luggage up several flights of stairs. The bathrooms were private but separate from your room (in another small room you used your room key to access). It’s over a busy pedestrian street so it is noisy, even at night.

Location was perfect, staff super helpful and room was compact and just what I needed. I already knew there was no elevator in this accomodation from reading other reviews, so this was not a problem and was able to check in earlier that expected. There was also some welcome biscuits, water and snacks - which was a nice little bonus. Property also organised a taxi for me to the airport at 4am - which I was really greatful for - however (nothing to do with the property) was ripped off - $40 for 4km ride to the airport - so shop around!

Nothing I can think of. There was a bit of a brown stain on the ceiling in the corner of the room - was not really sure what this was - but thought I would bring this to the properties attention to fix.
