Good location. Reasonable price. The stairway hall was a bit moldy smelling, probably because they have plants on the top landing and no ventilation. I had to use my puffer a couple of times because of this but it wasn't too bad. A person not sensitive to mold would not notice. Traffic noise was present at night but not enough to keep me awake but might be an issue for a very light sleeper.

Hotel Leone Guest House is really an air BNB or youth hostel but without the breakfast. Rooms are run down with peeling paint and plaster, electrical outlets appear to do nothing leaving you mystified as to whether you’ve switched something on or off you shouldn’t. No in room fridge so you use the communal fridge only to find someone helped themselves to you stuff. Big brother (your remote landlord) won’t switch on the AC unless you ask so make sure you have SMS or their WhatsApp number. Not recommended.

The check in process was very inconvenient. They require you to notify the host at least 72 hours before arriving for check in. Even upon doing this we were waiting for the host to message us back with check in instructions. When entering our room the bathroom shower door was literally off the hooks hanging. There was construction on the first & second floor the entire time. Constant drilling from 6am on.

Very Poor Stay

Sorry to say we had a pretty miserable stay here. The room was pretty run down with paint peeling off the walls, and smelled stale (the room and linens) The building itself has a strong musty smell. The worst part of the stay though was that there were mosquitos that would find their way into our room every night and bite us and get in our ears and wake us. We would wake up between 3-4am every night and have to go on a mosquito killing spree. You can see the splat marks on the walls where guests before us had to do the same. The location was peaceful and walkable to the tourist areas. We received no communications from the guest house the entire time. There is no reception desk, we received no check-in instructions, and only from some online research and reading fine print on the hotels.com site did we learn that we had to contact them via WhatsApp to get access to the building/room. We reached out to them and heard back an hour later with a code to get in. Would not stay here again.

No staff on site & no elevator. Had to call to get code to enter building then had to text them our birth dates, address & passport info to get lockbox code to get our room key. Then had to carry our luggage up to 3rd floor, so it was a bit inconvenient. Also, Mold on shower tile & dust blew all over floor when we turned on air conditioner, so room could have been cleaner.

La habitación estaba limpia. Se debe caminar 12 minutos hasta la catedral. Está ubicada en un sector tranquilo Importante contactar al hotel dos días antes para que den todas las instrucciones a la llegada porque el check in se hace 100% virtual y las puertas se abren con códigos

Жилье находится в хорошем месте, 1 км до исторического центра. В номере хорошего качества чистое белье и полотенца. Сам номер без признаков уюта, была проблема с интернетом, не работал ключ в входной двери на улице мы ждали , пока шли другие жильцы, что бы нас пустить в дом. Также. В номере нет ни чайника, ни микроволновки и приходилось в пижаме идти рано утром за. Чайником на общую кухню, что бы сделать себе кофе. Ремонт был очень давно, но состояние жилое

A budget-friendly stay

A well-located property within walking distance of the city centre. Adequate facilities for food and drink preparation. The room was fine, although the the shower head and shower doors were on their last legs. Fine for a budget-friendly trip.

Absolutely terrible experience

Book a real hotel if you want any peace! No reception or staff, will get your booking wrong then send you rude messages on WhatsApp. Got our booking wrong and gave us only one bed when we clearly booked two. Gave us a terrible offer for one of us to use a bed in another room but with a list of unreasonable rules, like that they couldn’t bring any belongings, which we still tried to follow. This was also after one of us had been forced to sleep a night under a bath towel. The host only communicates through grammatically incorrect messages on WhatsApp which is why we had misunderstood an aspect of the rules and slept in the wrong bed. While we are trying to enjoy our day at a museum we start receiving distressing and very rude messages from the host accusing us of taking advantage of the situation which was only bad for us. Even after I apologise he keeps berating me in rude messages and refuses to give us a second duvet or sheet. He blames everything on us for booking the wrong room and then taking advantage of his offer. More details in my review on Google, I strongly advise against this hotel. The experience ruined our holiday in Florence!

it's located not too far away from the train station (around 15mins walk). The area around the building is tidy so you feel safe. Need a bit walking to the attractions to the south east of the station but it's acceptable. The room itself is very spacious, with high ceilingm very tidy and clean. And my room is on the top floor so it's generally quiet at the night despite it's close to the main road. David is the host and he is super friendly, before and during the days I stayed there I had a few questions and he always responded quickly. The only 1 thing I can think of could be improved is the supply of the daily necessities, such as bottle of water, plastic/paper cup, disposable slipper, etc. But other than that this is a nice place to stay.
