We stayed in the Double Zebra Room and it was honestly one of the most beautifully designed rooms. Super clean, spacious, and full of personality. Breakfast in bed was a lovely touch - arrived right on time and really good. I also loved that they use Officina Profumo toiletries, such a nice detail. Overall, a really special stay in Florence.

Unique and friendly boutique hotel

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely boutique hotel within walking distance of most major museums. Casa Howard was very clean, and the breakfast-to-order served to the room every morning was extraordinary. We had 2 rooms - one with a lovely little balcony. Our room had a large bathroom with a shower. The second room only had a large bathtub with a handheld shower. We were traveling with an older family member and it was very difficult for him to get in and out of the bathtub. Otherwise we loved the hotel and especially appreciated the great suggestions and assistance from the concierge. They arranged taxis, recommended restaurants, and were happy to chat. We felt well looked-after. We will be back!

6/10 Okay

We stayed 4 nights at Casa Howard. The property is conveniently located in the heart of the historic center with easy walking access to all the main attractions. We stayed in the camel room and it was fairly spacious. Our main concerns was that we had a leaking AC unit that was not fixed and so we had to lay a towel on the ground to soak up the water everyday. It also made a loud dripping sound that echoed in the room at night making it difficult for any light sleeper. It is also very loud in the morning due to breakfast service, so if you like to sleep in you’ll be woken up at 8-9am everyday. We didn’t try any of the food on their in-house menu but it looked good. Overall, the location was the best part of the stay and I would check out other neighbouring options before rebooking here. It is also worth noting that none of the rooms have a safe, so if you have valuables that you’d prefer to store in a safe while you’re gone that won’t be possible. If you have a car, parking is offsite but very close by (3 min walk).

A true private guesthouse! You feel you're home. The staff are helpful and speak fluent English. The room is very comfortable and spacious. You get your own key to the building and room; so very private. I love enjoying breakfast in bed :)

Cheap and convenient location

The place was a little dark, dingy, smelly, and scary. The staff during check-in were very nice, helpful, and responsive. But I wasn't sure if anyone was around "after hours." Not a typical hotel stay. I guess the experience was commensurate with the low cost.
