Superior B&B

This was the best b&b stay I’ve had in Italy in 19 years of traveling here. Service and Dailey breakfast was superior. The location is beyond superior. Views of Duomo. Best views from rooms 301-303. Great restaurant across the street. Order local popular dishes indicated in the menu. Also two great cafe’s right next door.

Lovely B&B

The location is great and very walkable to most sights. The breakfast was good and the rooms were efficient. There is one downside... if you are a light sleeper (be forewarned that there will likely be a nightly musician outside your bedroom window that you will hear very clearly) however, they did leave earplugs on the nightstand which we did use and helped.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort

Excellent location

The only downside is the lack of aircondition. That is pretty important when temperature outside is 39C. Also, hotel is locked after 11pm, so if you arrive late then you'd be required to check in and pick up the keys in other location which is in about 500m away. That is not a problem, but families with small kids must take that in consideration.

Wonderful Experience

The location was central and easy to access major landmarks. The service at the desk was wonderful;quick check in, baggage was held and placed in our rooms and recommendations to restaurants, sights and entertainment was most helpful. This hotel was charming, characteristic and a pleasurable experience.

RUSPOLI BED AND BREAKFAST

It was very comfortable not the best but really quite adequate for the stay as all we wanted was a bed. SO SO central one could pop back when we wanted to. bit noisy one night on Saturday evening but only to be expected but you can people watch from the window. Shower very adequate does not have all the thrills of luxury but it worked and not complicated. Breakfast fine for the day so simple. Right by the Duomo how easy is that

Location is Key

Great location ... close to Duomo and all sights are easily within walking distance. Having breakfast included was wonderful. Guiliana was extremely helpful and assisted us when airline lost the luggage. Downsides are noise at night when windows are open if kids are hanging out at the Duomo but this generally stops around midnight and dated bathrooms. No frills like restaurant, bar, etc. but Florence is just outside your door to provide these services. We would stay again.

Great location 5 minutes from train station

Don't know why this is not rated higher, the only thing I didn't like was the shower. It was a stand-alone shower which had walls that needed to be put into position every time you needed to use it. Very small so not much room to move around. 5 minute walk from the train station and a 10 minute taxi ride to the airport. Had an excellent centrally located location with numerous shops and restaurants. Opened our window over looking the Duomo Cathedral; very impressive. Staff was very helpful recommending restaurants as well as getting us a taxi to the airport. Breakfast was more like a brunch; very filling and satisfying. This is a very old building (from the outside) with a huge solid wooden door and a key which lets you in the main entrance then another key to let you to your wing of the hotel. Safety was no concern. It has been completely updated while having the history of a castle upon entering. I highly recommend this hotel.
