The hotel is on the 4th floor of an old building. There're areas in the room show mold and stains. The bathroom has no separate area for shower so it's a bit inconvenient to keep things dry clothes. Staff are sincere and diligent though.

Clean room. Staff helpful especially concierge on duty at check in. Needed to climb a flight of stairs to then access the elevator - difficult with heavy suitcases. Why say there is an elevator when you still have to climb stairs??? Air conditioner extremely loud. Bathroom door did not close properly. Soundproofing very poor - could hear the neighbours on both sides and windows did not keep out loud noises from outside. Beds poor and pillows flat.

Location was close to many attractions. Grocery store located accross street to get snacks and drinks. Room was spacious with high ceilings. Bathroom was on the smaller side. Breakfast was average. Staff was helpful and friendly. Small elevator available otherwise you have to walk four fights of stairs to get to reception desk.

An older but nice property within walking distance of good restaurants and all the sites and attractions in Florence. Great breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable. While the bathroom was adequate (just!), it was clearly an add-on from the days when there was a shared bathroom down the hall.

Room reserved on Expedia was not available on the 1st of 3 nights. We had a room with one bed instead of two and the shower was in between the toilet and the sink so water was everywhere. The door frame was rotten. The next two days, we had the reserved room with a closed shower. The difference in the price for the room of the first night was never reimbursed. Other than that, the staff was polite and it is walking distance of all the sites. Breakfast was very good.

Good, definitely not great.

The service was AMAZING. The men working the front desk were SO KIND. The people working the breakfast room were cheerful and pleasant (also very helpful). The breakfast was tasty, the location was great. The room itself was not. The bed was uncomfortable, the toilet wouldn't hardly flush, the shower was awkward, and it all was a tight fit, even by European standards. It was great on a budget, the staff made it so. But i probably wouldnt seek it out again.

Disappointing Stay – Outdated, Uncomfortable, and Poor Service Hotel Bodoni is well-located within walking distance of Florence’s main sights, but that’s about the only highlight. Reaching the fourth-floor hotel is a hassle due to a tiny, slow elevator that barely fits two people with luggage. Inside, we encountered a pest issue—mosquitoes and flies were present in the room and hallways, with bottles of bug spray left out, raising concerns about cleanliness. The room was dated and poorly maintained. The bathroom had no shower barrier, leading to a soaked floor, low water pressure, and one night with barely any hot water. The toilet also leaked, making it feel unsanitary. Service was fine initially but turned dismissive when we raised concerns. The outdated key system added to the frustration, with unclear instructions and a bulky metal key. While breakfast was decent and the location central, the poor facilities, bugs, and service made for an uncomfortable stay. Look elsewhere unless you’re on a very tight budget.

The place is really close to some amazing attractions, but the down side to that is it’s extremely noisy on the street at night. There are some stairs to the lift and then again once you are in the hotel, so not great if you have a stroller or are in a wheelchair. The staff were great and helpful. The bedroom was ok but the bathroom was teeny, it shared a shower toilet and basin so everything kind of got saturated. And you pretty much have to sit on the toilet sideways otherwise you kiss the wall. But if you are looking for location, this is great. Breakfast was pretty good too.

Hotel Bodoni is a very quaint, charming, boutique hotel with a historical feel. Staff is very friendly and helpful. More than worth the value as long as you’re okay with a couple compromises. The hotel is on the 4th floor, with only a small and very slow freight elevator to get up. Or the stairs. Took the stairs more than we waited for the elevator lol. The A/C works, but is on the weak side. And the shower, toilet and sink in our room was an all in one situation. So no separator from the shower, no shower door. Basically you had to wait for the bathroom to dry up after using the shower in order to continue using the bathroom. Otherwise worth the value! Would still come back to Hotel Bodoni.
