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

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 👌

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 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.

My room was clean as cleaning was done every day and the middle of the week all the towels were replaced. The size of the room was comfortably big but only shower cube was small. I enjoyed coffee, orange juice and some sweets in the morning. I had a problem of locking my room but always Antonio locked for me. The hotel is situated in quiet street so no disturbance for sleep but the wall of the room was a little thin so sometimes there was noise from the above or my fellow guests. The location was good. A few minutes walk to Pizza Santo Spirito and other restaurants area. Also about 10 minuets walk to Palazzo Pitti and easy walk to Uffizi and Duomo. The day I left Florence was a heavy rainy day and Antonio ordered a taxi to the station for me. The price was quite good if you think of the above good things. I was a female lone traveler but I had a very cosy stay. Thank you Antonio for providing me a comfortable stay!

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 :)

Antonio has been an excellent staff; I got quick response to my questions and requests. Room is cleaned daily and snacks and drinks are refilled on a daily basis which is over and beyond my expectations (other hotels only give one off freebies). There’s Lavazza coffee machine outside the room and we were given capsule everyday. Very smooth payment, check-in and check-out process. Very quiet and had perfect quality of sleep. Good perfect water pressure. The location is 20-30 minutes away from all places of interest. The room is spacious and got shelves and coat hangers in the wardrobe and a full sized mirror. We’re allowed to store our suitcases after checkout. Highly recommended place to stay in the heart of Florence.

These are not deal breakers but more of nice to have / rooms for enhancement: - bin was not emptied when we checked in (rubbish from previous guests still there) but emptied the next day which I think was just an oversight. - shower head holder doesn’t stay/hold up and it slides all the way down, which is fine as for my height but may be issue for tall people; - AC was set at certain temperature at 24C (tried everything on the remote) but I was still able to sleep well
