Lovely, clean room that had the essentials. Room had a small fridge but not a smart TV. Otherwise, the area was good-lots of shops and walking distance to the Uffizi Galleries and the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze.

Small pension in a very good location. Each room decorated with different artists team, nice! Very helpful staff. The only minus was a steep staircase to the entrance.

We were warmly welcomed. Our room was ready for us any incredibly comfortably. The air worked great after a day of hiking around in the sunshine. We slept comfortable and peacefully with absolutely no sounds from the street, or the hotel, waking us. Breakfast was delicious and filled us for the morning. Service was prompt and cheerful. Would definitely recommend!

Un albergo ottimo
A lovely place to stay, close to everything in a lovely old building. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The children in particular LOVED the breakfast ( especially the Nutella). Grazie mille! We would love to go back.

Small, quaint room. Private bathroom, not en-suite, just off of the breakfast area, which was a bit awkward. No elevator FYI. Otherwise a delightful stay!

Hotel Abaco is quirky, charming and authentic. It was very convenient for us to walk around Florence, and is very close to lots of restaurants, cafes, museums, and wonderful small shops. In fact, for a busy few days as a tourist in Florence it could not be better. OK - it's old, and you have to climb 55 stone stairs to it (it's on the 2nd floor) but it would not be authentic otherwise. La Signora who runs it was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed visiting!

Great location, workers were very nice. RV size wet bathroom, tablecloth thick towels. No elevator so you had to walk up a few flights of stairs and down. Our room opened up into the middle of the dining area which could be awkward in the morning when we left.

Worst bed ever!
Awful, terrible bed. Cannot overstate this enough. Location was great though, so if you like being close to things and don't intend on sleeping or you're making a booking on behalf of someone you don't like, this is the place for you.
