Pensione degli anni 60

Albergo vecchio con arredamento vintage, sembra una pensione di qualche decennio fa. La colazione inclusa era pessima: caffè del distributore, due tipi di merendine confezionate da discount, qualche fetta biscottate e marmellatine. Camera fredda, termosifoni accesi solo la sera. La mattina si gelava. Pessimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. A favore la posizione a 15 minuti a piedi dall'ospedale Careggi, la pulizia e la cordialità del personale.

Florence 2 nights

I booked a room with private bath, but, when arrived had to insist on it as they had me in without one. Took much longer to get to any of sights than listed on line. Traffic noise so loud at night I couldn't sleep. I went next door for coffee and bakery goods, instead of coffee from machine and commercially packaged items served. Staff was helpful.

Далеко от основных достопримечательностей

Отель расположен далеко от "туристического" центра: от железнодорожного вокзала Санта-Мария Новелла 3 км, до Дуомо с баптистерием 4 км. Причём из центра к отелю идти в гору. Без навигатора ни за что не найдёте. Хоть отель "одна звезда", душ, раковина и туалет с биде - в номере. Горячая вода с хорошим напором. Завтрак очень скромный, но лучше чем ничего. Есть лифт. Номер нормальных размеров. Отопление не работало, а в конце апреля было ещё прохладно. Звукоизоляция отсутствует как таковая. Дают 2 ключа, от входных дверей и от номера.

I am happy to give this review. I was there for five days. The staff is co-operative. only the problem is with language. I would like to suggest the hotel owner that there should be staff with more fluency in English language.The same will help your hotel business positively. Thanks

un piccolo albergo comodo per il Careggi

Il confort è minimale ma accettabile, in relazione al costo ed alla comodità dell'ubicazione. Il trattamento si può considerare a carattere familiare (del resto ha 1 stella). Lo consiglio certamente ha chi ha la mia medesima necessità di stare vicino all'ospedale.

à éviter

On en a pour son argent 55€/nuit. Beaucoup de bruit provenant de la rue. Impossible de laisser la fenêtre ouverte. La chambre est très petite et sent très mauvais. La salle de bain est curieuse, puisque la douche est sans rideau, donc une fois qu'on est douché, il y a de l'eau partout, et le bas de la porte de la SDB est complètement éclaté par l'humidité. Le petit déjeuner est vraiment limite. Le linge est changé 1 fois sur 2. Des croissants sous emballage plastic immangeables et les madeleines hyperchimiques. Du café de distributeur. Un micro onde d'une saleté repoussante. Le wifi marche 1 fois sur 4. Il faut amorcer la connexion en bas dans le hall et essayer de la garder jusque dans la chambre. Le personnel s'en fous et lève à peine le nez de son écran de portable. Bref, n'y allez pas, sauf si vous voulez faire des économies et que vous n'êtes pas trop regardant. Le quartier est très laid.

Hotel in zona conveniente, colazione migliorabile

Nulla da dire su pulizia della stanza e cortesia del personale, ma la colazione ha lasciato molto a desiderare. Definirla spartana è addirittura eccessivo. Soprattutto in relazione al prezzo pagato. Sarebbe corretto riportare nella descrizione dell'hotel che tipo di colazione viene offerto.

ottimo hotel

ho scelto questo hotel per due notti, avendo bisogno di un appoggio nelle vicinanze del pediatrico Meyer, dalle recenzioni era consigliato, ed effettivamente sono rimasto molto soddisfatto, sia dalla pulizia della stanza che dei luoghi in comune, tranquillo e riservato anche per chi si vuole rilassare in stanza, non ci sono orari per il rientro serale, lasciandoti una chiave per essere autonomo. lo consiglio a chiunque, dalla famiglia in vacanza alle persone che han bisogno di un appoggio per qualche giorno

Gutes Preis- Leistungsverhaeltnis / A good deal

Die Albergo Sonia ist gut zu erreichen, das Zimmer (mit einwandfrei funktionierender AC) sauber und die Dusche klein aber fein. Es war alles in gutem Zustand. Fuer's Internet musste ich immer unten Bescheid sagen, aber eingentlich war der Herr nett und hilfreich. Fruehstueck muss man sich woanders besorgen - im Hotel gibt es nur so'n bisschen verpackten Kram an einem Tresen, aber eine gute Baeckerei ist zwei Tueren weiter. Man kommt vom Hotel ueberall gut hin. Fuer einen Kurztrip wenn man nur was zum schlafen sucht ist es durchaus ok. **Albergo Sonia is rather centrally located and well maintained. AC worked fine, for internet I had to ask the receptioninst, but then it worked. The room was clean and the bathroom small but well kept. Breakfast must be obtained elsewhere, but there is a very good bakery two doors down. You can very well explore Florence from here and if all you need is a place to sleep this is a good choice.
