One-Star Review

The only redeeming qualities of this so-called hotel are its proximity to Firenze SMN Train Station and the 24-hour service desk. Beyond that, our experience was nothing short of disappointing. Room Conditions The showers were tiny, poorly designed, and downright dangerous. One didn’t even have a place to put shower items, and both were elevated off the ground with no safety railing, making slipping almost inevitable. One room had a musty smell of mold that couldn’t be aired out. To make matters worse, the door hinge in our room closest to the stairs looked like it had been kicked in, with the wood frame broken—hardly reassuring for security. Photos show mold on the sheets. Noise and Disturbance Our second room was no better. We heard footsteps outside our door during the night, even though there were no other rooms nearby. It was unsettling, to say the least. Customer Service Trying to communicate with this hotel was an absolute nightmare. We had to reach out multiple times before getting a response, and when they finally replied, they were unfriendly and unhelpful. Poor Value For the price we paid, this hotel was barely cheaper than other options in the area. Given the subpar conditions and lack of basic amenities, it was a complete waste of money. Final Verdict If you’re looking for a place that’s barely functional with zero regard for comfort, safety, or customer service, then this might be the spot for you. Otherwise, avoid this hotel at all costs.

Would definitely recommend this hotel to anybody staying in Florence! It is about a 15 minute walk to the city central, a 5 minute walk from the main train station. The neighborhood is very safe around the hotel as well! 24 hour front desk service and they accommodate you quickly with any of your needs! Definitely worth it especially with the price !

The location of Arcadia Guesthouse was absolutely amazing! It was about a 5 minute walk to Firenze Santa Maria Novella station & around 10 minutes to get right into the city centre and the “heart” of Florence, which was fantastic. It’s also super close to a tram stop almost right outside the building. The hotel staff was great & was super responsive as we were arriving later at night. However for the place itself, it definitely wasn’t the best stay. The walls are so thin you can hear EVERYTHING, from doors slamming to your neighbours conversations, to footsteps from above, below & beside you, which was very very annoying. It also was a bit tricky to find at first, and if you’re arriving at night, it feels a bit sketchy, but once you’re inside it’s okay. Overall the location was fantastic, and it was a good stay for just a couple short days. I don’t think we would stay any longer than that again. If you want to get places by walking, or if you have any trains to catch, then this place is for you.

Close To Station, Great Staff!

A nice and clean hotel, hidden away so little confusing but all worked out. Room was very clean, can't fault that. Refurbed so that was good. The shower and toilet were ridiculously high, can't work out why. Felt Quite unsafe getting in and out of shower - only fault.

O hotel fica muito bem localizado ao lado da estação, por fora ele é bem velho mas o quarto é bom, simples cama Confortável e estava muito limpo. Pra 2,3 noites super atende. O wifi funciona muito bem! E os recepcionistas muito atenciosos.
