Super clean and rooms ambiance is very good. There is coffee machine and everything looks new. The hosts were very nice, they gave me checkin instructions and responded quickly for my questions, and also on checkout they saw my luggage and offered me if I want to keep there for the day and provided me access to building and also common toilet.

Showers is small but it’s not big deal but it’s super clean

Great location, in a calm neighborhood, but with many options of food and drink nearby. It is very close to the Boboli Garden. Not "central", but the main attractions are all reachable by foot and it is a nice place to explore the "other side" of Florence. Around 20-minute walk from Santa Maria Novella Station (main train station in Florence), but the route is easy. The room was comfortable and the host very sympathetic. Building, corridor and room were all clean. Air conditioning worked fine during hot summer days. Fair price for the overall, especially in Florence.

The toilet was a bit small, but everything worked fine.

We had a wonderful stay at Althea Rooms in Florence. The host was genuinely welcoming, polite, and extremely helpful, making everything smooth and easy for us. The location couldn’t be more perfect — just a short walk to Santo Spirito with its local vibe, the city center, and all the main sights. The room itself was excellent: a very comfortable bed, sockets conveniently placed by the bed, and thoughtful touches like little cakes, biscuits, tea, coffee, a kettle, and even a bottle of water waiting for us on arrival. Everything was spotless, bright, and aesthetically pleasing, with easy self check-in adding to the convenience. We also appreciated being able to leave our luggage for a few hours after check-out, which was a big help. Overall, it was a super stay 👌 — warm hospitality, great comfort, and the perfect location. We’ll definitely recommend Althea Rooms and would happily stay here again when visiting Florence!

Really there was not anything missing or that we didn't like.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Althea rooms. The location was super convenient, very close to the old town yet in a part of Florence that still felt local and relaxed. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and communication was prompt and clear. The room was airy and spacious, and cool even in the heat. Although no breakfast was provided, there are many cafes and bakeries nearby, as well as many restaurants for dinner. We were able to leave our luggage at the hotel after our check out time with no problems.

We enjoyed all aspects of our stay and everything was to our expectations.

Our room was traditionally Italian in style, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The location was ideal - it was just outside the busy centre so felt authentic, but was a walkable distance to everything we wanted to see and do. We were provided with everything we needed, and really appreciated the little extra touches such as the Italian biscuits left on our table each morning. Our host, Paula, was absolutely lovely and kindly allowed us to leave our bags with her before check-in, as we arrived to the city very early in the morning. For such an affordable price, we couldn't have wanted any more.

Althea Rooms is the perfect stay for anyone looking to visit Florence - away from the busy central tourist area so it is nice and quiet, however, close enough so only a short walk from all the attractions. Dennis, the host, is superb. Greeted us when we arrived, and every day made sure everything was okay. Even gave us some recommendations on local areas for food and drinks. The room was top notch, very comfortable bed, and was cleaned daily. I hope to visit Florence again in the future, and we will be booking Althea Rooms 100%!

The host was very communicative, friendly, and attentive. I received the check-in instructions on time, along with helpful directions on how to easily reach the apartment. The room was clean and well-maintained. We were pleasantly surprised to find complimentary breakfast snacks, coffee, and water upon arrival – for which we're very grateful. You can reach the main landmarks on foot, and there are several bus stops nearby. Since the area is car-free, the street is peaceful and quiet, with no traffic noise.

Everything was perfect 👌

The location was great, away from the super busy area near the boboli gardens. But still walkable to all the major spots. The hosts were the sweetest, helped us find a taxi when we were about to panic when we learned uber doesnt work in Florence. The room was comfortable, had everything you would need because most of the time you wont be in your room.

The bath was a little uncomfortable for us because the space was too tight! Which is fine for an apartment that size but still, not my favorite part.

Feeling of safety. The place is secure, the access is limited to authorised stuff and guests. Apartment is located in a very calm and secure place. Also there is a safe box in the wall allowing to hide some valuables without worrying of losing them. Well organised process of accomodation. Easy access to all needed information. Friendly and honest approach of the host and all employees. Cleanness, especially clean bathroom and all hygienic appliances. Information of suggested place where one can eat a meal, divided on time period of the day (breakfast - lunch - dinner). Possibility to leave luggage after checkout for a couple of hours so I could go for the last walk/sightseeing without any burdens. The place had all I needed.

I'd prefer the lights being a bit more warm/cozy (yellow)

The host is very caring and attentive!! The neighborhood of the hotel is very quiet and we felt safe at night too. Even if it’s not situated in the very city center, everything is in easy walking distance. You can even find lots of hidden gem cafes, bars, breakfast places, gelateria nearby in the small lanes, away from tourists, queues or crowds! Flexible check-in and free luggage storage after check-out are big bonus!! The small snack offered every day is also a very sweet gesture of the host :)
