Hotel Grifone Firenze

The soundproofing in the room was quite poor; I could clearly hear even slightly loud noises from next door. The curtains didn't block out the sunlight effectively, so it was very bright when the sun came up. There were also very few power outlets, and they were all a bit loose. On the plus side, the price was great, and the bathroom was nice.

A small but lovely hotel! They have their own parking, so no worries if you're driving. The evening views are amazing, and there are even little kittens downstairs! The front desk lady was super nice, and they gave us a small gift when we checked out. Loved it, will definitely stay here again!

The room was a bit basic, like a budget hotel in China. I booked a single room and the bed was only 80 cm wide. It was quiet though, and had a small balcony. The air conditioning/heating was too dry and couldn't be adjusted, so my throat was really dry at night and I had to get up for water. The bathroom fan was very loud, so I had to turn it off. For over a thousand (presumably currency units) without breakfast, it felt really expensive for this standard. But I guess everything near tourist attractions in Florence is pricey. It's about a 20-minute bus ride or 35-minute walk to the sights. I'd generally recommend staying closer to the Duomo to save time, as the price difference isn't huge. Do note that some B&Bs don't have elevators, which can be tough with a lot of luggage. This place, however, does have one.

Great hotel. The room was spacious and bright, and well-equipped. The staff were also very helpful. They offer a self-service refill for drinking water. It's a bit far from the city center, so you'll need to take a bus or taxi to get there. There are two restaurants located near the hotel.

Everything was great, the breakfast was delicious, and the service was excellent. They even provided disposable slippers. My only complaint is that the curtains let in too much light.
