Il Ghiro

Our room was cancelled, but not by us. So it was a terrible experience. We did not stay in Florence but went to Lucca

Nice hostel, clean, central location close to train station and duomo

Fantastic location and friendly staff. More like a hostel with private rooms. Shared bathroom wasn't a problem. Given a coffee pod to use in the coffee machine each morning, and free access to washing machine which was great!. Climbing 3 floors of stairs no problem if mildly fit.

Great find and a good rate. Sort of a hostel, but with private rooms only. The owner is really friendly and has lots of information about Firenze. We were able to self check in late at night and then pay the following morning. Door codes were emailed that day. Our room was ok in size, bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Good location near the main train station and north of the major attractions. No breakfast.

A nice cheaper choice, close to the train station and everything of interest. The worst thing is having to carry your bags up several flights of stairs, but the owners son helped us do that and you only have to do it once. The other thing is having everyone share a bathroom, so more hostel than hotel really.
