Hotel was in great location. Close to train station and shops. Breakfast was very good. Only issue was the bed is hard and uncomfortable.. They do store your bags until check-in at 2:30.
Great location and reasonably priced for a quality hotel. Coffee service in the morning was very good. Will stay again when visiting Florence especially by train.
I will never stay at a different place when visiting Florence. From the train station, take the underground tunnel (3 minute walk) and you come out right at the hotel. Staff are super happy and helpful, beautiful vibe in the place

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Positives: quiet rooms (in a city full of noisy traffic and people), excellent showers with strong water pressure and plenty of hot water. Not so great: furniture and fixtures not in great shape, nothing fatal but knobs missing, wobbly tables and the like.
The staff was truly fantastic and the location could not have been better

The location is excellent, the staff are respectful, and the breakfast is good. However, the windows are old, which makes the nights quite noisy. Part of the curtains has fallen, the divider between the two beds is unstable, and the WiFi is very weak.
We loved our stay at Hotel Domus Florentiae! The breakfast was amazing! We enjoyed it out on the balcony while watching the city wake up. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We wish we would have stayed here longer!
Location, supportive staff , clean, tidy and spacious room and delucious breakfast. The staff went out of their way to peovide us with guidancce and welcoming environment. Highly recommended. Thank you for our memorable stay
This was a very nice hotel on a very difficult street. The staff and amenities were first rate but it was a challenge to roll my suitcase back and forth over the cobblestones and narrow street. The hotel was very convenient to the rail station. The staff and adjoining restaurant were first rate. I would stay here again if I were to come to Naples in the furture.
All good. Great location. Great and friendly service.

The location and the staff are wonderful. This is simply not a 4 star hotel. The staff (wonderful). The furnishings need a really good clean. Breakfast was great, sheets cleaned daily, however the curtains, chairs, couches desperately need cleaning or replacement.
Overall the stay is nice and pleasant as the staffs are very helpful and friendly. The down side is it is near to the streets so it can be noisy at night. The toilet flush sometimes does not work well due to water pressure.

Breakfast was delicious as it included the typical pastries, fruits and natural juices. The staff was very friendly. However, the next door establishments were very loud. For the three nights we were there it was impossible to sleep in between the construction noise, loud music, loud conversations all night and early morning long. The room was cleaned and had everything we needed but unless you are traveling without kids and are here to party all night long this is probably not the best option for you.
Giacomo, the staff at the reception is wonderful but this hotel needs major repair and renovation. The room is tiny and the design makes it very hard to use the toilet seat because there is no space. The waters in the shower drains really slow. The lobby is very dirty. There is sewage smell in the elevator and in the lobby area. The hair dryer also does not work. However the hotel is historical and the bedding is clean.
This is NOT a 4 start Hotel, it is far from it. The rooms are pretty rundown, the nightstands were falling a part, the shower door was extreme difficult to close, bedding was old and towels didnt smell good. The cherry on top was the broken AC which made very uncomfortable to sleep at night. Again, if this was marked and priced as 1-2start hotel i would understand. However, when you make a point to call it a 4 start there are expectations to be met and this place fails in every aspects of it. The only good thing is the location and the buffet staff was super nice. Front desk.was not very helpful to when we left either. Overall, i would never step a foot on this place.
Our room was clean and small but fine for just the two of us. The staff was very friendly. The hotel is right in the middle of the city which was convenient for walking to see the sights.
