Mr. Muhammed was incredibly friendly and provided us with lots of information about Florence. Breakfast was simple and self-service, available 24 hours a day. The owner was available by phone to assist us when needed. The location is about a 7-minute walk from the train station. Those with luggage may find it difficult as there is no elevator.

Perfectly refurbished structure, only missing an elevator. Hospitable, clean rooms, and some very spacious like the one we used: FERRARI. Extremely kind and professional staff, qualities that should not come as a surprise. Bed and breakfast just steps from the central station and 10 minutes from Ponte Vecchio. Car rental and garage, for those who need it, really around the corner. So everything very good.

Convenient structure 5 minutes walk from Santa Maria Novella train station and 10 minutes walk from the Cathedral. The area is quiet and full of restaurants. Our room was on the third floor and did not face the street, which made it very quiet. Although provided, we did not take advantage of the breakfast offered on site. The structure does not have an elevator: it was not a problem for us but it could become one for those who have difficulty climbing stairs. The person who welcomed us was very kind and helpful in providing us with information about the city.

Very good stay, would definitely stay here again. It was great being able to do a self-check-in late at night. The room was very clean. The breakfast was nice and self-service so we could have it whenever we wanted. There is a restaurant right next door, and it can get very loud in the lower rooms, but it really only bothered us the first night when we went to bed early, the other nights it was very quiet when we were going to sleep. Also, the shower in the bathroom was just dry wall on the sides, no tile, and some of the paint was peeling off.

What can I say... we only spent one night and could have been a 'burden' compared to those staying longer in the property, yet we were treated as if we were Sultans. \nOff we go, check-in at 11:00 instead of 14:00. Alessandro at the reception giving us all the info on routes, on Florence, on where to eat 'daddddio', etc. etc... a triumph of kindness and utility... judgment: immense. \nCheck-out with Antonio, the level of courtesy does not decrease, on the contrary... at 11:00 we have to leave the room, but Antonio keeps our luggage until a date to be determined so we can still roam freely and lightly through the streets of Florence. Before saying goodbye, he gives us a map of restaurants 'wheretoeatwellandpaylittle' in Tuscany and the galaxy... judgment: omnipotent. \nPavarotti Room: it has everything. Comfortable beds, air conditioning, large bathroom. Great location (10 minutes walk from the Uffizi) and rolling down the stairs there is the tavern at the Garden that defining 'divine' is an understatement, but this will be another story...

I stayed two nights on two separate weekends in this hotel to make the connection back and forth to my holiday destination in the Tuscan countryside. Positive points: the hotel is located two minutes from the train station, in the heart of the city, close to all the places to visit in Florence. The owner Antonio is very friendly and found solutions to the small problems encountered during the stay. He also provided me with very good information to have a quick tour of the center of Florence even though I only had an afternoon to do it. Areas for improvement: The key delivery system for check-in is not simple and can be confusing. I couldn't access the breakfast room during my second visit due to a key delivery oversight by another guest. The hotel is located in an old building and does not have an elevator, which is not practical when you have heavy luggage, a bike to carry (like me) or for disabled people. The breakfast is quite basic. For me, the hotel was the ideal solution for my two nights back and forth from my holiday destination because the hotel was clean and located near the train station.

I came to spend a 4-night stay (from May 28 to June 1) at Home Boutique Santa Maria Novella with my daughter. We were accommodated in room 500 and greatly appreciated our accommodation. The room is under the roof; it is equipped with an air conditioner that effectively prevents us from getting too hot and even though this air conditioning is above the bed, well adjusted, it did not prevent us from sleeping well. The walls are quite thin, but honestly the other occupants were respectful and we were not disturbed by the noise. The hosts are very helpful and welcoming. The on-site breakfast lacks fruit and yogurt... But a large fridge allows you to store your own food and so we were able to buy and consume our yogurts. We are very very happy with our stay and if we were to return to Florence, we would stay in this accommodation again.

Unfortunately, I had a room without a window (Valentino). This is OK for 1-2 nights, but I would not stay longer in this 'Executive Classic' room. Cleanliness and welcome were very good. I would book again, but specifically insist on a room with a window. For me it does not have to be 'Executive Classic'!

We stayed just one night in the Pavarotti suite. The location is great, very close to the station and very convenient that they allowed us to leave our luggage after check out, to pick them up shortly before catching the train. The room is beautiful, clean, comfortable and cozy. We felt very pampered by Alex's welcome and in general the people who took turns at the reception are all very kind. I gave 7 for breakfast because the bar where they sent us had a bit limited choice, but as for the place and the owner's hospitality I would give 9! The building has no elevator but everyone offered several times to help us with the luggage. I find the common room where the reception is located beautiful, warm and welcoming. In short, I didn't give 10 because there is always room for improvement, but I give you the best compliments for your hospitality!

Positively, I found the location and the kindness of the host who allowed us to leave the luggage in the afternoon. Then on the negative side... Firstly the beds. If the proposal on the website is for two double beds, I cannot find a broken sofa bed, embarked, with the metal structure planted in the back because the mattress is 2 centimeters high. And even the 'official' bed... hard as a station bench. And buy a topper! It costs 100 euros... And put some white light in. You can't see much in the room. I'm sorry, I didn't sleep and I'm disappointed.

Gentile Sig.ra Tafi, Grazie di aver dedicato il suo tempo per recensirci, Ci dispiace molto non aver soddisfatto le sue aspettative a pieno, rispettiamo la sua opinione ma non siamo totalmente d'accordo e dobbiamo appuntare alcune cose: nella descrizione della camera noi mettiamo sempre in evidenza tutte le particolarità di essa, riprendendo una delle frasi della descrizione "essa si presenta all’ingresso con un bel soggiornino privato e un divano comodo e di design che all’occorrenza può essere convertito in un letto matrimoniale." per tanto chiariamo sempre i dettagli della camera scelta. Entrambi i materassi sono memory form di ottima qualità, tuttavia dopo le sue parole ci siamo messi subito ad indagare sulla questione, chiedendo ai nostri ospiti come avessero dormito nel nostro divano letto e le risposte sono state tutte positive, non vogliamo quindi che passi il messaggio di un divano letto come da lei descritto "scassato e inbarcato" visto che i divani e i materassi sono nuovi e vengono cambiati ogni 2 anni proprio per mantenere un elevato standard di confort. Il nostro obiettivo è quello di far trascorrere a tutti i nostri ospiti un soggiorno confortevole, lavorando con passione e dedizione per farsì che tutti possano essere contenti, tuttavia non è sempre possibile raggiungere questo obiettivo e siamo dispiaciuti che questa sia stata una di quelle volte. Sperando comunque che ci possa dare nuovamente l'opportunità di provare a migliorare la sua esperienza La attendiamo ad Home Boutique SMN, A. Tavera - Owner

Bad. Malodorous environment. Non-existent cleanliness. Hair under the sheets and on the bedspread. Widespread sloppiness. My wife needed to take a pill and there was no glass. Zero courtesy set. Narrow bathroom. Breakfast included in the price at an external bar that we ran away from as soon as we entered. Bad! Only the courtesy and availability of the receptionist and the guy who allowed us to leave the suitcase in storage the next day saved it.

Buongiorno Signor Scaramuzza, Leggiamo con rammarico questa recensione fuori dal coro, severissima, contro una struttura che fa della pulizia e della cortesia un punto di forza. Peli sulle lenzuola, mi pare strano ma può capitare una svista...Colazione fuori, figlia del covid (torneremo a farla in loco e comunque una bevanda calda, un croissants, un succo e uno yogurt non lo fanno tutti, sopratutto al prezzo esiguo che lei ha pagato) Angusto --> camera e bagno fatti nuovi di pacca come da foto nel 2020. Si è accanito conto di noi come se le avessimo fatto un torto. Poteva parlare vis a vis invece che ledere la nostra immagine, stia certo che se avesse palesato malcontento avremmo fatto qualche cosa per rimediare. Gentilmente A.Tavera

If I could give a higher rating I would! The staff is super helpful and friendly, they help you by explaining the map of Florence with suggestions and advice, the rating is 10 just for how they treated me, I felt at home. The rooms are very clean and new and I had all the services available that elsewhere would have charged you for, like the washing machine, the iron, etc... The location is extremely central, just a few steps from the central station, the price is very affordable considering that in the center of Florence you pay more without even receiving the same treatment, they were all helpful and kind, I appreciate it a lot, thank you for making me feel at home. I highly recommend it to everyone, it's an exceptional place and it's not common for everyone to pay so much attention to guests as they did, truly excellent.

The options available at Home Boutique Santa Maria Novella were really limited (at 8:30 AM). They offered apple, pineapple, orange, and ACE juice, but when we ordered four orange juices, they said only to have one, and the only alternative was ACE juice. Only one orange juice available. Only 3-4 options for the bakery: no regular croissant available, no possibility of paying some additional money and choose a sandwich (for example). Much better not to offer breakfast included and we could have chosen a better place for breakfast. To improve for the property: we missed an elevator, as we had heavy luggage. The room was small for four: almost no room for the luggage. To keep: personnel very kind and helpful.

The answer from the host:
Dear Mr. Ortega, Thank You again for choosing Home Boutique as destination for Your stay. We are so sorry that the breakfast do not satisfy you and that your overall experience was lower than the average for the breakfast experience. The breakfast outside the property has been done cause of the covid restrictions - before 2020 the breakfast was reacher and inside our Home Boutique. After August we changed the caffe' and at "Le Sorelline" our guest are happiesr than before. Concerning on the bag deposit is true, we do not have a room where to put the bags but we offer, for free, a beg deposit in the reception area (under our eyes) upon check in and check out. Elevator; as you see there is no space for it; we have a palace built in the year 1500 and this is written in our website; what we suggest is to read better or ask before to book; we have 3 rooms on the 1st level and, when the stairs are a problem, we always give the lower floor rooms. At last we wish to reply to you about the size of our rooms; we have different type of room and the one you choose is 26Sqm, as described and shown in the pictures; we also have bigger rooms so, the suggestion, is to read more in order to understand better what you are reserving. We really hope to have the opportunity to host You again; we will be glad to show you our new breakfast and the new room that we are realizing. Best Regards Antonio Tavera

I stayed at 'Home Boutique Santa Maria Novella' for two nights. The room we were assigned was very small, and at night it was not completely dark due to windows that faced directly onto the reception area. I was disappointed that there was no window to open, especially at night, to cool the room. It only had air conditioning, which at night blew directly onto the bed, so it couldn't be left on for long. \nOn the other hand, I appreciated the location of the property, very central and very close to S.M. Novella station, and also the kindness of the staff, especially a girl at check-in who showed us a map of the city, recommending what to visit and where to eat. \nIf it hadn't been for the room and the heat that lingered at night, it would have been perfect!

The answer from the host:
Gentile Elena, Grazie mille per averci scelto e per aver condiviso le Sue perplessità con noi e con gli altri utenti. La camera 500 ha una parete in doppio vetro temperato che abbiamo deciso di fare per dare maggiore luminosità e particolarità alla location; solitamente non disturba ma non viene nemmeno apprezzata tent'è vero che le tende che oscurano il vetro sono sempre abbassate. Le tende fanno il loro lavoro ma non oscurano totalmente (capisco ci sia a chi da fastidio). Per quanto concerne la finestra al tetto, certo che si può aprire, si può cambiare l'aria, forse non Le è stato detto? Se avesse chiesto avremmo alleviato questo malessere. L'aria condizionata invece ha diverse opzioni e velocità, è orientabile e la notte si consiglia di metterla in "sleep" che è più silenziosa e su "deumidificatore" onde evitare di gelare. Speriamo davvero che possa tornare, saremo lieti di accoglierLa ancora e farle riprovare la nostra ospitalità nella speranza di coccolarla meglio di quanto fatto. Cordiali Saluti Antonio

The answer from the host:
Dear Mrs. Rodriguez, We respect your point of view but the place is not old, has been restored during the 2018 and, even if you are in a palace built 500 years ago, surrounded by art and beutiness, our rooms are well restored. As told you upon check in, there are always mosquitoes in the area of Florence, is for this motivation that every room have at its disposal a plan with a poison again mosquitoes; it is also suggested to close the balcony window when you are outside from the room. We are also sorry to let you wait for the check in, we prefer to give a super clean place...anyway we remember, you wait 10 minutes. We are sorry for the smell, rare times it happens around the city that have a very old sewer system; it not depend from us and, lucky we, is not every day! Finally, remember that here we work, a part of all we put passion and efforts and this have to be considered before giving a such bed rating. Regards Antonio

Structure located in a historic building, which brings with it its advantages, such as the location and charm, and its drawbacks, such as the lack of an elevator. Helpful and friendly staff, who recommend a very detailed city tour. The only issue I encountered was a bad smell coming from the bathroom ventilation fan, otherwise everything was fine.

Regarding the breakfast, it's a shame there wasn't one at the property, but at a bar, (probably due to covid) otherwise it would be great. Also, it would be nice to have at least one window for the rooms because out of 4 booked rooms, only one had a French door, and you feel a bit lacking in air. Apart from that, everything is fine.

The answer from the host:
Buonasera Signor Furini, Siamo felici di sapere che avete trascorso un ottimo soggiorno! La colazione è cambiata dopo il COVID, nonostante ciò' abbiamo un accordo con un bar che ogni mattina porta le cose da noi; è una colazione tipica Italiana rafforzata che si compone di bevanda calda, croissant o schiacciata salata toscana, yogurt e succo di frutta. Purtroppo le Domeniche o nei giorni di festa il Bar che porta le cose è chiuso e siamo costretti ad appoggiarci ad un Bar vicino a noi che comunque offre le stesse cose elencate sopra. Per quanto concerne le camere, è vero, le nostre Executive Classic hanno le finestre sul tetto Velux (come si vede bene nelle foto) mentre le Deluxe con balcone o la Suite con Balcone hanno tutte una bella porta finestra con balcone privato. La attendiamo nuovamente a Firenze! Cordiali Saluti Antonio

Enviable location for those arriving by train and wanting to visit Florence, the owner is very helpful and attentive to customer requests. I ended up in a rather small room, however, it was not a problem because it was only used for sleeping. Breakfast must be consumed at the Bar near the structure and there is a wide choice available.

The stay overall went well, we received a lot of useful information about the city from the host during check-in. The breakfast at the bar was perfect, all very good, plentiful, and the service excellent. The only negative note, which however had a significant impact on the enjoyment of the stay, is that the assigned room was not faithful to those shown at the time of booking and was very small, without windows and without a bidet (which was not at all indicated in the room information), the shower very small and without a closing door, so water would go everywhere in the bathroom while showering. I was not happy to see a room in the photos and be assigned a completely different and much lower level one. Apart from this, the location of the guesthouse is impeccable! Given this trick with the room, I wouldn't go back.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Signora Galantini, Grazie per la recensione e per la permanenza da noi. Mi spiace vedere insoddisfazione. Se mi aveste parlato durante le 4 notti trascorse dei vostri disagi, avremmo provveduto a farvi vedere le altre Executive Classic che abbiamo. Voi avete prenotato una Classic, come detto; né abbiamo 3; la Vespa 13Mq, la 500 13Mq e la Valentino appunto (15Mq). La metratura della camera da Voi scelta è maggiore rispetto alle altre due camere. Inoltre la Valentino ha una Smart TV (cosa che non c'è nelle altre) ed è più nuova, realizzata nel 2021. E' vero, la Valentino non ha il Bidet, ma ha un doccino con il quale potresi fare il Bidet direttamente nel Wc. Finestra, La Valentino è al 1° piano ed è meno luminosa delle altre due Classic ma ha comunque una piccola finestra che si apre sia vasistas che normalmente e, come detto, l'aria condizionata sanifica tutta la stanza, essendo di nuova generazione (nelle altre due camere non è così) Inoltre Sia la Vespa che la 500 hanno solo una finestra Velux a soffitto, per cui, le camere Classic sono molto simili per caratteristiche. Posso dire con certezza che tra le foto delle camere Classic, in fase di prenotazione, compare anche la Valentino, ci faccia caso. La Doccia, essa è larga 2mt e profonda 1mt. - ha due soffioni (uno enorme) e non è così piccola.....almeno secondo noi. Mi spiace che non siamo riusciti a soddisfarla appieno, spero di poterla ospitare nuovamente in una delle nostre camere e provare a far meglio. Magari, ci aiuti, ogni malcontento / dubbio è oro colato per noi, visto che l'obbiettivo ultimo è offrire soggiorni eccellenti. Cordiali Saluti Antonio Tavera
