What people say

Right after the booking I got an e-mail from the staff, which welcomed my booking and gave basic info about the B&B. The B&B was easy to find, almost next to the Duomo. The B&B was on the second floor, with about 40 steps of stairs. The room with the external bathroom was basic with queen bed, TV, little table, minibar, chair, cupboard. The room also accommodated an extra bed. The bathroom was about 5-6 metres away from the room, across the reception area. Mandy was very nice in th.
all reviews » Mandy and her staff were so very helpful. The beds were very comfortable (and large) for Europe - Actually the most comfortable we've slept in since beginning our European travels nearly a year ago. The location is excellent - a short walk from the train station and right next to the Duomo. It is an easy walk to most of the sites, and in the heart of the beautiful city. Even so, when the windows were closed, we could not hear any of the noise from outside. We would certainly stay here again - a. This was a great location with an excellent owner who went out of their way to be helpful and accomodating. Even though there is no "official breakfast", the room has croissants, coffee and chocolate, which is what many budget rooms consider 'breakfast' anyway. The owner has a discount for guests at a nearby restaurant, which sounds like a trap, but was one of the best restaurants we ate at in Italy and the only one we visited twice!. The host is super friendly and tell us what are the best stuff to do in Florence. The recommendations he gave is so good. Also, the location is amazing! Staying at B&B Bel Duomo makes our trip perfect. We are four girls and the area around is so safe that we won't worried at all. The service is excellent and the rooms are clean and large which feels like you are home. I will definitely be back to Florence and stay here again!. Wonderful location (working on outside starts early, but we did too). Close to center of town. Owner very helpful. Gave us a map and a fantastic restaurant recommendation. He was five minutes away and hurried over to check us in when we arrived a bit late. Our family room was spacious and convenient. There was a smell behind the fridge, which some have mentioned. It did not bother us too much for one night. A/c was great!. Loved that is was in the middle of the city. Very quaint. The rooms were amazingly quiet for the location. Remote controlled Air conditioning for each room was a huge plus. Convenient to everything. Owners were awesome and even came to get us cause we drove by car and they are located on a walking street. Julio the owner was super friendly and nice. I would definitely go back and recommend this B&B to everyone. Mandy&Giulio were very kind and recommended good things to do in Firenze for a solo traveler. The atmosphere of the place is warm and cozy, which made me feel comfortable when I came back from the freezing day out. The genuine Italian espresso and Toscana wine I enjoyed thanks to Giulio's kindness were also great! I'll definitely stay at this place next time I go to Firenze. The room we booked accommodated 5 people very nicely - the baby slept with us in the king size bed while the two older kids had their own beds. There as a minimal kitchen which served our purposes well. The staff was amazing! The owners and front desk staff (girl from Spain) were honest and provided a lot of good tips about where to eat and what sights to visit. Great location, 10 yards off the Duomo plaza. You could take a break in the middle of the day and go back out and find great food in minutes. Nice room. Big queen bed. Mandy gave great restaurant recommendations Walking distance to Uffizi and Accademia, takes no more than 10-15 minutes. The location could not be better: 10 yards from the Piazza del Duomo. The welcome was warm, the room spotless and extremely quiet (apart from the 7am Duomo bells!) - careful, rooms 1 and 2 look out onto the Very busy Borgo San Lorenzo, the others on a silent inner courtyard. Everything is perfect! Best location ever, beautiful room, everything really clean. My friend and I were really well welcomed by Mandy, who gave us a lot of great tips about everything in the city! It's a nice place for couples, family, friends, for everyone! Loved it!. The owners were attentive to our every needs. They even noticed from my partners passport that it was her birthday the very next day there of our stay and gave us a complimentary bottle of fizz and some chocolates. It's a bit like coming to a friend's house when I get there. Mandy (if not wrong) prepared almost everything for me, so I didn't need to be worried. I'll definitely choose it when I go to Florence next time. Very friendly and informative information about the city Perfect for family double bed and two single beds all in same room with kitchen Amazing location, could not ask for a more central location. The hosts are charming and helpful. Italian/English speaking a plus. Recommendations for restaurants and sights was spot on. B&B location immerses you in the center of the activity. We have enjoyed this B&B very much.The owners were amazing, provided us with excellent recommendations of things to do.Location is could not be better, so central and so convenient. Very friendly hosts; perfect location, just around the corner from Duomo; unit we were at even had a kitchen, so we were able to cook our own Italian food for a couple of nights. -Mandy, the owner was very helpful and her restaurant recommendations were superb especially the Yellow Bar -big comfortable bed -location at the heart of Florence. We like the friendliness of the owner, Guilio. Once you check in, he will explain the things you can do in Florence thoroughly. That was very nice and helpful. The location is AMAZING! Literally around the corner from the Duomo! Very, very friendly and helpful staff, all questions were answered more than happily. Very nice hotel owner, walked down to the cathedral to pick me up, introduced everything before he left. Sweet room with everything expected for a hotel. Amazing, very helpful owners, gave us many tips on the city's main attractions and reduction vouchers for nice places to eat. Perfect location and price. Staff was quite nice. He gave us good tips on how to visit Florence and recommended nice local food. The place was also quite close to the church. Very friendly and helpful staff, fantastic location, comfortable rooms and good air-con! Convenient access to the train station (10 min walk). Fantastic location and price. Very helpful staff, good eating recommendations. Lovely to have a fridge, and kettle in the room. Mandy made it very easy for us. The beds were very comfortable and the airconditioning worked really well. Perfect location. Everything is so good. The owner is very friendly and the location is perfect. This is the best B&B we have ever stayed. It's a great location in the center of Florence. Comfortable room and excellent customer service . Rare in Italy. Both owners are super-friendly, and location is great, being some 50m from the main Florence cathedral. Very central, clean and large room.

I liked the location. Very central to the attractions. The location was really good and the staff friendly. The owner was awesome and location is great!. Very impressed with the whole package!. location, price, staff, location!. private bathroom. Mandy and Amanda are very friendly and nice. We are well introduced the scenery route and restaurants in Florance in details on the first day. What's more, it's location is very good, only about 10 minutes' walk to the Florance S.L. Station. Our room is a little bit samll but with external bathroom. Tha's good. Very friendly owners. They provided us with recommendations of things to do and places to eat, and even booked calleries in advance for us. The location is just perfect - you walk out and in 10 metres you see the Duomo. - Great location.Duomo is stand beside the hotel door - No breakfast provided. Good central Florence location. Great room air conditioner. Close to center . Easy to find. The room with external bathroom could use a little extra attention from the housekeeping staff, because there were dust rolls on the floor. Stairs were fine for us but could be a difficulty for elderly or those who have a disability. You need to walk a bit of stairs. We were carrying a large luggage each person but still we think it is fine. No elevator with steep stairs, if that is a problem. It was not for us. Unless you drink coffee or cappuccino the paid in advance breakfast at the Opera Cafe is not worth the money. But Julio, the owner called and made it right. Parking was a little high 26 euros a day but that's what you get in the city. No lift/elevator, so it's up three flights of stairs. No problem once the luggage got up. Bathroom is small. But hey, it Europe. nothing. Except that the name B&B implies breakfast. There is no breakfast offered. I recommend stepping out of the building, turn left and have breakfast at Scudieri across the way. Delicious!. The washroom is separated from the guestroom. The B&B is wonderful. They cannot control the level of revelry that goes on well into the night. But it's part of the charm of Florence. A little low on the water pressure, so shower was not as ideal as it could have been. -Bathroom was extremely tiny -but we would definitely return if we get the chance. No lift for our very heavy suitcases. Nothing!. We had a heating problem the first day, however the staff solved it as soon as we reported it. External bathroom just next to reception desk. The inevitable downside of being so close to the Duomo - a little noisy in the evenings, but not a huge issue unless you're a light sleeper. Not much....perhaps access to a washing machine. nothing. Loud noise from street. The street outside the windows was very busy (with people, not cars), so if you want to have windows open, prepare for noise. A little bit noisy at night and in the morning. The smallest bathroom I have ever seen. When sitting on the toilet I could touch all 4 walls of the bathroom. Not really happy with the 'recommended' restaurants - of the 4 meals ordered, 3 were totally messed up and were not value for money at all. Very hard to find as there is no sign showing where the hotel is. It is listed as a B&B but is not as there is no breakfast supplied (other than coffee and a snack). It wasn't ideal that the bedroom and bathroom were separated by the lobby (we had been warned that the bathroom was separated from the bedroom, but didn't realise we'd have to go through the lobby to get to the bathroom). It is noisy a bit over nights (as the hotel is really in the center that never sleeps :). toliet leaking and unstable water supply for shower. a bit noisy at night. Occasional smell from the drainage system, but I wouldn't be put off by that. Second floor walk up, very dingy stairs but don't be dismayed. May have to phone the manager to meet you if arriving after mid afternoon. It's hard to find at night. Nothing...everything was superb!. very basic, uncomfortable bed, separate bathroom. Bed and breakfast in these days does not longer mean you will get a proper breakfast. We had coffee and tea in the room and prepacked croissants in the room and that was it. We stayed at room number 5. The bathroom was not just outside the room(which we were aware of) but across the reception desk area. The owners shoud deffinitely think of improvement. It is annoying and rather inconvenient. - Very very small bathroom and do not seperate wet and dry zone.room size for just shower room but here they make a bathroom for guest - Quite dark room , not enought lighting - Room door is not sound proof. - No staff here,you have make appointment them in advance if you need. - No view form window. Street noise very loud, poor sound insulation. Queen bed very uncomfortable, too hard for me. Cleaning staff did not leave enough shampoo, body wash packets, or towels. Cleaning staff mistook bag of clothing for trash (we did get it returned). No breakfast so a bit not named as b &b . Only a crossiant at the room and if want breakfast , they offer the coupon (40%off ) in one cafe next street. Strange ! Dont go with heavy lauggage cos no lift.
