Even though the hostess send an email with the instructions, when checking in it was not so obvious how to get in. In fact, some people working there on the building opened the door for us. When I called the hostess, she was kind of rood, instead of explaining kindly again, she kept saying what didnt I understand and if I have read the email with the indications and in a tone like I was bothering her. Then the rest was correct, except there wasnt anything to dry the floor when taking a shower.

Our unit was clean and comfortable. The bathroom is shared but was kept clean and stocked. There is a tram outside the window but the noise did not bother us. We could walk to anywhere we wanted to go but the tram was there for anyone that would need it.

Mi sono fermato 2 notti in questa struttura... La stanza è molto ampia, minimale ma ha tutto ciò che serve. La posizione è molto comoda sia per arrivare in stazione che in centro. Ahimè ci sono due cose che purtroppo è bene sapere. La prima cosa che non dipende dalla struttura è che essendo vicini alla stazione edessendo Firenze una città molto trafficata di tram, i rumori sono continui e anche la porta che da nel corridoio è molto poco isolata. Quindi attrezzatevi di tappi. La seconda cosa è che mi è stato dato solo un asciugamano grande per due notti.

Lovely clean and spacious room. Super clean bathroom, possibly even over cleaned because there was always a cleaner there! Only two complaints really; it’s quite a long walk to the centre (which we don’t mind because we like to walk) and it’s very noisy from very early in the morning and late at night due to tram station next door.

The room is big, the towers were clean, pillows are low, the room was clean, however is really hot, the fan is not enough, for some reason there is too much noise at night. The shower was flooding, leaving the bathroom wet and smelly, and it is extremely small. Sharing the bathroom was a really bad experience as the check out is 10am, you will need to wake really early if you want to shower before leaving, I feel we shared the same bathroom as the owners. I asked the owner if we could check out a few minutes later than 10am, but the answer was No, even after explaining my situation I got no answer to my text message. I had to drop off the rented motorcycle before checking out and I got late because of the queue to use the bathroom and had to run back to do the check out at 10am, I just wanted a few minutes to organise myself instead of rushing back to get the luggage.

Beautiful, spacious room.

By the station so good location but was a little difficult to find. The room was huge and beautiful cannot fault the room apart from it could of had coffee/milk (only had a kettle in the corridor with flavoured tea) only a small negative though. This property is shared bathroom, shared between 3 rooms in total. The bathroom was a good size etc but pleaae be aware that you could have inconsiderate neighbours like we did who where very noisy at 2am coming in and were sprawled out very intoxicated in the bathroom for 45 mins approx even after being told we needed to use the bathroom. However this wasn't the hosts fault.

The property is easily accessible from the train station and the self check in was very convenient. The shared bathroom was always clean and well maintained. The heat in Florence was about 40C and the fan was not strong enough to create some air circulation so the room would become extremely hot. About a 20 minute walk to Santa Maria di Fiore and right in front of public transit.

If you are traveling during summer time DO NOT stay here. It is so uncomfortably hot. We assumed this facility would have AC - it definitely doesn’t. Putting this is the description would go a long way. The owner was nice and provided another fan but that honestly did nothing. The only window we could open was south facing (the hottest window), because we left it open we could hear the noisy trolly all night, we couldn’t use the blackout drapes otherwise we would suffocate from the heat. It was pretty miserable. Simple things could be better: like the coffee being really poor processed quality and not having a hand towel in the bathroom. There was no desk or laptop working area as advertised.

B&B Cassia upgrade

We booked a room at Novella, but when we arrived we were informed that due to illness, we were going to have a room in a different place. That was fine with us, as we actually ended up being upgraded for no extra cost! We walked to the other location with the member of staff, who was very chatty and friendly. We had booked a room with a shared bathroom, but received a room with a private bathroom. Everything was clean and as it should be, and we even had a little balcony, which was lovely. We only stayed for one night, and everything was fine for us (and great considering the bargain price!), but the actual stay was in 'B&B Cassia'.

Budget Friendly and Super Enjoyable 😁

I really enjoyed this hotel. It was in a great location and had an adorable balcony. They even called us on our way to double check when we would check in 😃 We checked in late around 11 pm and it was fast and easy. It seemed as if there were no other guests so we had lots of privacy with the bathroom and very quiet surroundings. On a budget and for young people, this place was absolutely perfect. Sure, the buffet breakfast is just little snacks and a coffee pod- but it is better than nothing 😃 The mattress of the bed was the only con- it was very springy and thin. The receptionist (maybe even owner) was super sweet and allowed us to pay the tax through card on the last day after all because she didn’t want us to waste our travel time finding an atm. She let us check out as slowly as we wanted and told us there was no rush. She was informative and super sweet. She let us leave our luggage for the day as long as we wanted and even gave us a key to come back in. She was amazing 😊
