“B&B Locanda dei Ciompi - una sede comoda adiacente al Centro Città”

B&B comodo ed accogliente con un solo neo: la colazione viene servita presso un bar adiacente dove la qualità é buona ma lo spazio é troppo piccolo ed é difficile trovare posto seduti.

“Locanda dei Ciompi - vicino a tutte le attrazioni turistiche da non perdere”

Ottimo B&B al nelle immediate vicinanze del centro storico. Edificio antico ma in ottime condizioni di manutenzione. La camera e il bagno erano piccoli ma ben organizzati. La colazione veniva offerta in un bar vicino attraverso un buono che permette una vasta scelta di prodotti. Di certo ci ritorno e lo consiglio.

“tornerò sicuramente!”

è un vero affare e la gentilezza e cordialità del proprietario è la ciliegina sulla torta! assolutamente da consigliare!

“Best value in Florence, have already recommended it and would definitely go back”

Chose this b&b because of its quiet but central location and low cost. It exceeded all our expectations : the room was exceptionally clean, with a large comfortable bed, mini fridge and the usual facilities. Riccardo was fantastic: we got the feeling that he would have helped with anything, in his gentle, laid back way. One of the highlights was the breakfast voucher we received each day - this is exchanged at a caffe a few doors down and we thoroughly enjoyed the authentic Italian experience. The room was quiet due to the double glazing and opening onto the pedestrianised street below.

“Great stay near the heart of Florence”

Locanda dei Ciompi was a great little hotel near the heart of Florence. Riccardo was a wonderful host and upon check in gave us a large amount of information about Florence - attractions we shouldn't miss, restaurants based on what type of dining we were looking for, and much more. We tried out one of the restaurants and it was the best of our whole trip to Italy! The hotel itself is very nice, clean, and modern. The room we stayed in had high ceilings and elegant decor. Riccardo provides you with a little ticket for breakfast to redeem at a nearby cafe that had excellent pastries and cappuccino. The hotel is located within a 5 minute walk of the Duomo and 15 minute walk of Ponte Vecchio. The only downsides of our stay were having an external bathroom (not really a big deal since it was private but still not ideal - we were the only room like this) and not having someone on site 24-7 so we didn't know where to leave our key when we checked out. All in all, I would highly recommend Locanda dei Ciompi. The price was very reasonable, the location and service were great, and the hotel was spotless.

“Extremely Noisy”

Based on the hotel website you are lead to believe that the bathrooms are within the bedrooms, this is true except for one room where the bath is down the hall. Be specific when making a reservation to request a bath within the room. The hotel itself is small, 5 rooms, the room was pleasant but the hotel service was not. We stayed 10 days and not once did housekeeping change our towels. After 8 days we ended up finding the towel closet and changing towels ourselves. This hotel boasts quiet although it is located on a pedestrian walkway (no traffic allowed) people were out until 5:00 in the morning partying every night. We found if we closed the windows this cut down on the noise along with running the air conditioning, but the air did not always work, fortunately this only lasted two days. If you need quiet to sleep this is not the place for you. The hotel breakfast consists of a coffee and pastry which you have to walk down the street to a bar to retrieve. Convenient to the hotel is a grocery store which is handy for picking up any food items this was about the only plus to this hotel.

“A few hickups but you get what you pay for.”

Stayed a week in early Oct 2011. Fab location but not easy to find as entrance is a door with a grill between icecream parlour (delicious) and a tiny furniture shop, with a push bell and intercom. Once inside, up one set of stairs into small hall with rooms off. Nice welcome, a very friendly Riccado who looks about 21 and who speaks good English. We had requested a twin room as we are two friends, but Riccado said Expedia info was incorrect - 4 double rooms and a triple. He gave us the triple which we appreciated, but he said we might have to move rooms if he needed the triple. No tv, but a small (not very efficient) fridge. Room and en-suite were lovely, but room was to rear of hotel with a wall against the lower 3 ft of the window topped by an abutting balcony/ concrete courtyard belonging to another house. But had fine mesh grill to keep Mozzies out, and although no view, room was nice. Unfortunately a couple of days later we returned from a day out to find he had moved everything, inc personal stuff from drawers and bathroom, into another room! We were furious! Stuff from fridge was put in a cupboard all muddled up, as there was no fridge! Several items missing inc slippers, flannel, etc.We decided to make best of it. This room also at back, no mesh, handle missing from en-suite door, and a double bed! Not good. But hotel perfectly placed, vouchers system for breakfast excellent, great little cafe/bar, great choise. Except Riccado overslept one day so no vouchers! But OK.

“Best valu in Firenze”

Very helpful/knowledgable staff, beautiful rooms, great location, my favorite value hotel in all of Italy.

“Great Location, Great Room - No Service - No AC”

We stayed in the Locanda for four days in August.The breakfast at the local cafe had the "best" pastries & coffee. If you want more than one item for breakfast ask them.Service was nonexistent during our 4 days at Locanda. We had trouble contacting the hotel prior to arrival.The number listed did not work.I called Expedia from Paris; Expedia called the hotel to confirm our late arrival.Thanks Expedia. Ricardo was there when we arrived Saturday night at 8 pm. That was the first and last time, we saw anyone who could help us with hotel service.10 minutes after we were shown our room, the AC did not work.Ricardo was gone.We left on the morning of the fourth day, without checking out, no one was around to check us out. The cleaning was completed daily. The major concern was the AC did not work. We slept with the windows open all four nights. It was hot humid and very uncomfortable. We then had the mosquitoes to attend with. My wife was not happy with the nightly attacks by them. Our experience wonderful service noted in other reviews was not seen. You are on your own, after you check in.Another family asked us, if Ricardo or anyone was around as they had locked their key in one of their two rooms. Good thing they had two rooms.The morning we left, we spoke with a young couple in the street, trying to check in. They had been trying to get in to the hotel without any luck.Great location, however expect little to nothing for service.Maybe the management was on vacation as well?
