We stayed here 3/31-4/3/2015. The place doesn't look like much from the street but most are like that in Italy. We were greeted by the general manager Alessio, a very personable gentleman who came downstairs, helped us with our bags, and got us checked in. Besides being about the nicest guy I've ever met, he was a wealth of knowledge for pretty much anything we wanted to know about Florence. Can't say enough about Alessio!
The room was nice and comfy and spotlessly clean. Bathrooms in most Italian places are very small but this one was a bit roomier. The last day we were upgraded to a "deluxe" room which was large with soaring high ceilings, beautiful wood floors, which our regular room had as well, and a huge bathroom. VERY NICE!!!
The complimentary breakfast was at a café about a 30 second walk down the street which included your choice of assorted pastries, juice, water, and cappuccino. Coffee in Italy is excellent.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Locanda dei Ciompi to anyone. It has a great location (short walk to everything), impeccably run, nice rooms with private bathroom, and spotlessly clean. SPLENDIDO !
