Positive of this property is location. It’s very close to major attractions. Staff is very friendly.
Negative is the size of the room and specifically shower. There was barely any room to turn around while standing in the shower. Not sure if all the showers are like that, we were on the first floor. Another issue was noise. There was lot of noise from the outside street and also from the people running inside the building.
Air conditioner wasn’t cooling enough, was shutting off every few minutes.
Overall, it was a positive experience with some negative.
Lovely place to stay, close to everything and the hotel staff were amazing and so helpful. Will highly recommend to friends and family if they travel to Florence. We were sad to leave. ❤️
Simone is one of the best in the business.
Kind. Accomodating. Professional. Anticipates every need.
Really, one of the best that I have encountered in 40+ years of travel experience.
Hyperbole? Maybe. But certainly well-deserved.
Bravo, Simone, there is a special place waiting for you in the afterlife!

Perfect location small room staff great friendly helpful
The staff is very kind. The hotel is older, but very clean. The location is right in the middle of the touristy parts of Florence. The breakfast is basic. We heard no noise the whole time -- it was a peaceful place.
Amazing place! A true gem right in the middle of everything. The staff is super friendly and professional, especially Gabriel. They go the extra mile to please and provide useful tips and guidance. Will definitely return hopefully soon!
We had an amazing stay! It was incredibly easy to walk anywhere in Florence. The owner Gabrielle was extremely hospitable. The room was small be very comfortable and very clean most importantly the AC worked!! The breakfast was very good. I would definitely stay again!

The location is great. The check in process is very thoughtful and caring as they take time to map your location and points of interest. They really compensate for being a 2 star hotel with their customer service. Being in the historic district, they can’t have modern amenities like an elevator and other conveniences. If you’re staying in the heat of the summer, don’t leave your screenless windows open overnight, the mosquitoes will eat you alive.
Very conveniently located and close to everything! Staff were incredibly helpful. Apartment was spacious, clean, and mostly quiet (there were some nights where there were loud people walking around). Highly recommend!
We really liked the location; it was quieter and less hectic but still close to all the main sites.
The staff were lovely and friendly. The concierge sat down with us when we arrived with a map and showed us where the main attractions and several family style restaurants. The breakfast had many options and all the cappuccino you wanted.
The hotel is a historic building and gives easy access to all the main attractions, restaurants etc. We had great communication from the hotel and all staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. Shower was smaller than usual, but had good water pressure and maintained a stable temperature.
Would definitely stay here again if we return to Florence.
Staff are incredibly helpful. Gabriel and Mario do a great job running this hotel. We notified them about a leaking shower hose and it was fixed the same day.
The owners of this hotel were exceptionally nice. Very warm, helpful, kind. The location is right in the middle of everything. The building is a historic building from the 1400’s Is it a luxury hotel? No, it is a place to sleep and explore from or return to for a nap without having to take a taxi.
But the staff made you feel cared for. I would definitely stay here again.
We loved this small, but super convenient hotel. The staff: amazing, friendly and super helpful. Walked everywhere from here and super safe area. Will definitely recommend it too all of our friends and family. Very basic, but exactly what you need to stay in this amazing city.
Great experience! We stayed in the 4 person room with my two small children and it was perfect. Spacious, clean, comfy beds, bet convenient to everything. Very welcoming and helpful staff.
I can't say enough good things about our stay at the Hotel Santa Croce. The staff was very welcoming and informative. The history of the hotel itself was fascinating. Our breakfasts in the morning were delicious. The location was perfect for us. Thank you so very much for such an awesome visit!
We stayed in the darling annex apartment. Upon check-in, the staff offered a welcome drink, took us outside to point out the notable historical landmarks in the neighborhood, and made us feel at home. They were gracious and practiced the art of hospitality. We look forward to staying at H. Santa Croce again!
