2/10 Poor

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.

2/10 Poor

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 😊

Unfriendly owner, very disorganized. No TV in bedrooms and Buffet breakfast as advertised. Same towels for 3 nights.Outer window pane missing, inner window cannot close properly and freezing in the room. Continuous train noise, could only sleep for two hours. Filthy bath and clogged up shower head, which dribbles lukewarm water. Unreliable bathroom door lock, got locked in for 5 min until rescued. Terrible experience. Would not Recommend it. Should be one star rating, not three. Photos don't tally the experience. TOTAL DISASTER!

2/10 Poor

1. Owner charged us with cash since she said that the bank did not accept my Citi bank or Well Fargo bank credit cards. 2. Owen forbidden us to use tape water in chicken, only can use toilet room water to cook hot water. 3. Owner’s big family members shared the toilet and bath shower with three room guests. Very inconvenient. 4. All of windows could not be close, interfere sleep. 5. Seems not knowing how to speak politely. Owner’s attitudes are needed to improve.

We stayed on a different floor and therefore a different hotel than what we booked. There were a lot more people on our floor and it was very noisy. The heater was leaking all over the floor in our room, but it was also freezing in the room with only the thinnest blanket on the bed. The woman working was very kind and gracious and warned us of the leaky heater (and towel trying to sop up the water), so her service was great. Breakfast was given to us the night before in our room, not buffet. The WiFi did not work in our room, we had to stand at the door to get anything to load. We did check in at 10:25 pm when they say nobody is at the front desk after 10 pm, however the page says you can still check in until midnight. Not sure why we stayed on a different floor in a different “hotel.” This place was one step up from a hostel. It was very cheap, so we understood you get what you pay for.

The most terrible place I had stayed in my life 😡
We only stayed 2days but it was terrible experience. Didn’t have hot water the whole day on day 2. The bathroom and room don’t have proper lock and it’s was very difficult for us to lock. The coffee machine didn’t hv milk. And the worst part is we saw few bedbugs on the bed when we wakeup in each morning. (See pic) my advice please don’t go this place unless you are ok with all this.
