Liked: Cleanliness
The name is somewhat misleading. This is not a bed and breakfast but just a room. The room was small and clean. The bathroom is barely big enough to turn around in. Getting to the room is up very steep stairs in an unlit stairwell. However The location is outstanding. 2 blocks from Ponte Vecchio and some prime shopping. The best thing about the location is that it is merely feet from Gustapizza, which is the best pizza joint in Florence!!

The sisters at the front desk are very kind and welcoming. The suite was quiet and clean, however you can still hear your neighbours in the morning due to creaky doors. Overall, I felt this was a very good stay and I would return.

Quiet interior courtyard room
Lovely and the absolute quietest place my husband said he had ever stayed! We had an interior courtyard room, so no street noise. Francesca was pleasant and helpful at each interaction - thank you! Our room had an "exterior" bathroom, which was a hall bathroom for our use only; it had a separate key to secure the bathroom door. Other than the noisy jangling of the old fashioned keys, it was fine. Perhaps we should have secured the keys separately or asked for a second set of keys, since there were two of us.Overall the room was perfect and we loved our three nights at B&Beatrice!

Wonderful! Great location; good breakfast with croissants, bread, and lots of different home-made jams; and everything was very clean. The proprietors were exceptionally nice, letting us in check in very late when we'd made a last-minute reservation an hour before. And they helpfully kept our bags on our last day, while we explored the city before heading out.

Not a practical choice
The room was decorated tastefully and located in a charming old building. However, I felt that the overall service needed some improvement considering the price. Two sisters do not spend a lot of time at the venue anymore for some reasons and they need to think of a better way to run this place including the check-in process, breakfast and etc. The stairs were indeed very steep and can be very dangerous even for people without any mobility issues.

Perfect stop over in Florence
Beatrice and Francesca made it easy for us, when we had been delayed in airport for the morning, and missed our check-in. The room is fresh, very clean and comfortable with working aircon that was much needed. A simple continental breakfast with good coffee starts you off in the mornings and the location means that you are close enough to all of the big sights so that you can walk, by far enough away that they are not a disturbance. Also close enough to some excellent restaurants with reasonable prices. Beware those with heavy baggage though, the stairs are tough and there is only a lift to the second floor if you check in before 3:30, from the first floor - and there are still some steep stairs to get to reception with no lift.

Great location near shops and restaurants
We had a large triple room and there was plenty of space for the 3 of us. The hostesses were very helpful and gracious, and the breakfast room and breakfast was very nice. The location was very close to many restaurants and shops and near the Boboli Gardens, very convenient to many nearby sights. The only downside was the bathroom was bit small on counter space and there was only one mirror in the bathroom, none in any of the other rooms, so we had to take turns to use it getting ready in the mornings. Air condition worked great. Our hostesses were super nice. Very quaint older type of building, yes, there were stairs to take as some reviewers mentioned but it did not bother us at all.

Nice hotel, close to everything.
We were well greeted, made to feel part of the family. We arrived a little earlier than the checking in time -- so we left our luggage with them. When we returned, one of the family member had brought our suitcases up the steep stairwell to our room. Spacious and very clean room. In the morning, we were welcomed into the eating area, with at least 6-8 homemade jams, croissants, bread, fruit, coffee, yogurts, cereals and milk. 'Mama' helped us with the coffee as there was various kinds, all in Italian, as well the operation of the machine. They called the taxi for us.... and hugs before we left. Can't get better than that. This is not the 4 Season's Hotel so if you want luxury, this is not the place for you. It does have everything you need.

Great location. Lovely hosts. Many very steep stairs to get to the rooms. No elevator. Not for older people with heavy suitcases. Otherwise a very nice place in a beautiful old house on s quiet street.
