Avoid this place like the PLAGUE!

Worse experience ever. Avoid this place at all costs. They are a total scam. I was told we could drop our bags before check in. Then we are told it's a €10 fee. They left our bags in the "lobby". We were told the credit card machine was broken. They just wanted to steal our cash, which they did. €180 for 2 nights. We paid cash and left with the keys. She told us our room (7) was in the hallway outside of the "lobby" but didn't show us. When we returned to the room (7) was not labeled and since the host only gestured to the hallway we tried to open 2 separate rooms. We couldn't actually open our room because I was trying to unlock it but THEY NEVER LOCKED OUR ROOM WITH OUR LUGGAGE INSIDE. I could not lock the door from the inside and I sent an email to the staff right away. They did not come to sort the situation out so I was forced to book another room as I was not leaving our luggage unattended for another whole day. When I came to the hotel the next day I was told that they never lock the doors when they put luggage in rooms, bare in mind our room is not inside the hotel but a room in the hallway of a building with much traffic. The staff could not lock or unlock the door to room 7 with my key and they accused me of switching the keys and told me I needed to take responsibility for what happened. Her room, her key, her hotel. She refused to refund me any of my money and told me I needed to call, not email. What a joke. Rude people. Stay somewhere else.

Hotel bang in the center of Florence

Very good location that justifies a lot & is hard to beat: best logistically possible position right next to the Ponte Vecchio. Main drawbacks: 1. Serious noise (can cause problems with sleep), i.d., lack of sound insulation in rooms 2. Shower cabins in the rooms are small and, in my view, somewhat unsafe - be careful, little space inside and rather sharp 'angular' natural protrusions to bump your head on, or step on or, God forbid, fall over on. Felt myself very uncomfortable in the shower - in the sense of SAFETY. All the rest is good, view is very good.

Very Convenient Location in Firenze (Florence)

First, I was surprised at the location...a small street and located on the 3rd floor of a building of apartments and businesses. There was a lift(elevator), thank goodness. Once up there,the graciousness and helpfulness of Ryanna warmed my heart. My room was very nice, although the view was of the building across the small street...there are some rooms with a view of the River Arno, I think only 7 rooms in total. Also, there were different levels in the room, coming in and to the bathroom, of which to be aware. Although this small hotel is off the main road.it is only a block and a half walk to the Arno River, where the Uffizi Gallery is on the other side, and a view of the Ponte Vecchio which is only about 3 blocks away. The Pitti Palace was about 5 or 6 blocks away, and it was an easy walk to the attractions on the other side of the Ponte Vecchio, like the Duomo and the wild Boar statue. This hotel is a perfect location in Firenze, just don't be surprised like I was when the taxi pulls up in front of the building that looks nothing like a hotel. I definitely recommend it and would stay there again. Thank you, Ryanna, for all your kindness, help (she speaks English, too), and for recommending the TrattorioBordino, a great little restaurant about a block and a half away.

A real find in Firenza.

Fun, funky neighborhood, but right off the Ponte Vecchio! On a minor side street barely in sight of the Arno, I found parking directly in front. There is a lift. The hostess is very helpful, even suggesting a terrific restaurant only about 60 meters from her door.

truly not as represented.

I have very few things positive to say. Over the course of my 14 days in Italy, this accommodation was the only disappointment. Check in times and check out times and bed size were misrepresented as was amenities. There is no staff except a person who shows up when it suits them. It is not a hotel room but a room rental that is not worth the money you pay. There is absolutely no flexibility and I was glad that I only had the room for one day. I would say more but it will only be more negative and if you don't get the picture by now then good luck.

Get central location

Initial reception not good, had to move room during stay, but was an improvement. The location is superb, but the advertising photo is deceptive. The river view is only from some rooms but that is to be expected. The property is on a corner a road back from the river with a very limited view. But don't be put off, the location is brilliant, with the owner making up for the poor reception

Location only

My husband and I spent one night in Florence before heading on a road trip through Tuscany. We searched for hotels with Free Parking - Hotels.com claimed this hotel had free parking when it did not. There is a garage around the corner with a "special" - $25 for over night parking. Pros: Location. You are a 5 min walk into the heart of Florence. Cons: Everything is extra. They charge you additional for Air Conditioning (also not mentioned in the description). There are no soap/shower products as claimed, only one small packet of shampoo. It is very noisy - we had to have the window open and there is a lot of street noise. The hotel is very hard to find - it is around the corner in a very small street with just a placard on the door. It is more of an apartment building than a hotel. Overall, the stay was fine. The room was clean and aside from no AC in the 80 degree weather, comfortable. Consider this hotel for location only.

Nice Hotel, Perfect Location and Friendly Staff

Stayed at the Promenade for 4 nights for a short break with partner. Its a small hotel with everything you need. The room was clean, with a beautiful view over the river. The lady who helped us during our stay was lovely. The only thing was that the hotel could be quite noisy at times, which is not the fault of the hotel but just the surrounding area, I think if you stay in any of the more popular parts of Florence you will get the same thing. It was walking distance from all the major sights in Florence.

We paid extra for air conditioning and both nights they had power outages which didn't help in hot summer stay - also charges for holding our luggage where most places do not. Location of hotel is dissieving - although in close proximity to centre of Florence - not very comfortable and too many stairs to climb w luggage !

It was ok

We got to the "hotel" and it was a little frustrating. There was no clear sign as to where it was located. It's on the third floor of a random building that has other businesses and possibly other people living there. The front door was open and saw Promenade was on the third floor. we walked to the third floor and the doors were locked. We buzzed the buzzer for about ten minutes until we decided to leave to try to contact the management. After an hour, we were able to contact the person who said they were there but didn't hear the buzzer. So I told them we would be there in 5 minutes and to answer the door. They told us that we had to use the buzzer on the outside for them to hear it and would then meet us at the door. We did that, but no one answered the phone. We FINALLY had someone answer the door only to find out that we hadn't paid for the room. They told us that booking on Travelocity only holds the reservation, which they didn't have that information either. We had to pay extra if we wanted A/C and the bed they claim is a King size bed is really a Queen size. There was a street right outside, and of course it was trash pickup. To say we got any sleep what so ever would be an understatement. The room definitely wasn't as decorated as it is in pictures. Our view was of a back dark alley. Check out was leaving the key on the front desk because no one was there and sending an email saying we left the key. No foor or breakfast was served that we knew about either.

Basic room in good location

The room was very plain and basic with a very small bathroom. The only amenity was free wifi. Quality aside, the hotel is in a great location - close to many sites and fairly quiet. Be prepared for a very small elevator or three flights of stairs. Ryana, the proprietor, was very nice and helpful and made us feel very welcome in florence.

Posizione strategica per visitare le principali attrazioni di Firenze e camera spaziosa e arredata in modo gradevole. L'albergo è di fatto un "affittacamere" in uso agli ospiti. Disponibilità colazione non fattibile per restrizioni COVID, ma con molti locali a pochi metri non era un problema. Stranezza per l'aria condizionata, disponibile a richiesta, con un extra costo giornaliero di 10 euro.
