Bottom line, nice people, very clean room but totally unable to sleep because of pigeon noise, heat!!!!, lack of AC or fans and structure of hotel which guarantted stiffling room, biting insects and either noisy street traffic or noisy pigeon roosting in very heavily occupied courtyard. We all had ear plugs and even they could not block out the pigeon noise. I cannot reccomd this hotel to anyone because of the above and the cost as well. We had 2 rooms. a quad without bath and a triple without bath. $300 USD for both for one night. The rooms were tiny and the quad beds were 4 tiny twins on cheap frames that creaked all night. No fan (we asked) and no breeze from the courtyard- but lots of mosquitos and noise. One room had ceiling fan and TV- but neither worked! The pigeons in the courtyard kept it up all night and we had to sleep with our door open (in a public hotel) because our room was so stiffling and it was the only way to get a breeze. The breakfast is set out at a certain time in a reception room. They did not have enough of each item for all the people who were eating- there was a nice coffee machine and unlimited coffee and coco for kids. Bottom line- if you can't sleep it's not worth anything. This hotel cost too much to not even offer fans and to run out of food.

No shuttle bus service from the station as they had promised. It's basically a big apartment used as an hotel, so the rooms aren't really modern, there was no shower plate in the toilet (very unhygienic) and the walls were thin, I could hear other rooms talking. Plus people made a lot of noise with the keys as they got back. At breakfast there wasn't much to eat, there wasn't even fresh coffee but a coffee automated machine. Yuck. No air conditioning in rooms, no fan. And they were working in the apartment underneath, so they woke me up at 8. I wouldn't recommend this place in summer at all, cause Florence is really hot.

We had a double and a triple room--the double was on the main street and VERY loud. The triple was quieter in the back, but noise from hallway was still loud. Breakfast nothing great, elevator was extremely small. Location was good for Pitti Palace, Ponte Vecchio and Ufizi Gallery. A little further to Duomo, but still within walking distance.

Really close to the city center, almost everything in Florence becomes within walking distance. Easy to find - the door is exactly opposite the entrance to Pitti Palace. If you came by car - additional 22 euro per night would apply (actaully depends on how big is your car - could be from 19 up to 30-35 euro). Spent there three nights - breakfast was really basic :-) - but coffee is good as always in Italy. Lift is fantastic - never seen that kind before - for two persons maximum, and fun to use - with the key and all that manual duble-doors.

the value of location and cost could not be beat. Right across from the Pitti.

We had a delightfully spacious room at the Soggiorno Pitti. Firenze is a great city to tour around on foot and the Soggiorno Pitti has a great location for that - close to everything.

The hotel entrance is via an old, large wooden door into a very dingy entrance. The lift to the third floor where the hotel starts is an old gated type and incredibly narrow. The owner took us up to the top floor to our room, basically a garret. There were no lights on in the corridor and he had a job getting them to work. Got into our room to find a square, basic room with no bathroom. A ceiling fan had been fitted but we couldn't get the switch to work. The window looked down to a central drainage well that smelt of sewage slightly and we could hear something? moving down there at night. Only two of the wall sockets in the room (out of four) worked and the TV had just four channels and no remote to programme anymore or change channels. According to the hotel description the rooms had painted ceilings. Ours had a trainer print on it along with a squashed fly! We did see a cleaner a couple of times but the marble type floor was never clean and walking around in bare feet left your feet dirty. We had four towels on the first day and just one by the time we left. Breakfasts were shockingly bad with lukewarm self serve coffee, packets of those hard toast things with jam, a slice of cake that was the same each day and a glass of, admittedly, nice fresh orange juice. Talking to other guests they said their rooms did have the painted ceilings and were completely charming. They had air con and a TV with remote and full Sky. We never saw our neighbours for their cooments. One couple had booked their room a week previously while we had booked in March so I felt that we had been given a very raw deal. The only thing the hotel has going for it is the close proximity to the city centre being just a few hundred yards from the Ponte Vecchio.

Excelent hotel,especially for this price. The rooms are very large, and well furnished. The shared bathroom was so clean at all times,that I wondered if anybody else uses it. You can hardly find a better location, too. I would return to this hotel, it was really very good.

We absolutely loved our stay at Soggiorno Pitti. We got married from this hotel and it will always remain special for us. The staff were invaluable in helping us with our arrangements. The room was delightful - very spacious with a beautiful painted ceiling. The only criticism was that the breakfasts got a bit monotonous. The location is superb. I certainly recommend this charming hotel to others.

Budget accomodation. Good central location, however difficult to find if attempting to drive to the door! Web page indicated an arrangement with nearby garage. This infact was a small garage a few streets away which was full when we arrived. Although not air conditioned, electric fan was NOT available (on request) as stated. So for busy periods during Summer not ideal for parking and very hot! Breakfast disappointing, dry pre-packed toast. Juice and vending machine coffee (self-service). Overall staff friendly and good place if you are on a tight budget.
