The location, overall stay, including the room, facility, staff and service were excellent. Lugging our luggage up six flights of stairs was a bit rough.
Great value hotel in a great, walkable location. The staff were very flexible with our uncertain plans, and communicated well throughout. The room was clean and comfortable.
We really enjoyed staying at this property. From check in we were welcomed and provided with great knowledge of Florence and suggested places to eat. Only the WiFi wasn’t as strong in our room, but overall it was a lovely to be there.
Excellent location within easy walking distance of the train station, the owner/operator, Antonio, was an excellent host and very attentive. At his recommendation we had a fabulous dinner at the restaurant next door to Home Boutique, highly recommended also.

Very dated, uncomfortable but convenient for airport. Staff friendly
Excellent location, walking distance to the train station, and attractions. Very convenient. Walter was very attentive and nice host. The room was very clean, nice and large. The hot water ran out on our last day, but it is summer, so very hot out. Overall it was a really nice stay.
Excellent location for my purpose, close to train station and close to the center. Reception was very good and owner was very kind and friendly. Would definitely stay in this hotel again.
The staff here were very friendly and made sure we understood all the details about our room and the hotel. They also took the time to show us things on the map that we might want to visit.
Excellent location, extremely friendly and accommodating staff, the only issue was the bathroom was outside the room, but the staff were so friendly and helpful we were so pleased with the place.
The host and property were so friendly and helpful. We loved the room, having AC, and the proximity to all the great historic museums and piazzas we wanted to see in Florence. The breakfast arrangements were a little confusing, but that didn’t take away from the great overall experience.
The property was in a great location right near the station and walkable to everything. The host was very helpful and friendly and the room was great but it was so noisy from the other guests in the common room at night and at 6am that it was hard to sleep.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We were very comfortable in Novella. A modernised spacious room, close to the rail station and only 5 min walk to old city. The staff were particularly welcoming and attentive.
Home Boutique was amazing! Mo Mo and Antonio were so helpful and friendly, they made our stay for 7 days in Florence wonderful. The one room we booked had an exterior bathroom not inside the room (but still private) which was a little inconvenient but overall it wasn't a huge deal. Would definitely recommend staying here. The location was very close to the train and all of the restaurants and shopping.
It is a small hotel, but operated as home away from home. The staff were very nice and helpful. They are local people and are able to tell you everything you need to know about Florence, where to eat, what to see. I ran into some health issue with a family member, they did everything to help.
