Porcellino Gallery

The location is very good. It’s very central and handy to get around on foot. The staff are also very friendly. The decor is lovely and interesting. Would love to know some of the items came from Florence and if so - where.

The Location was perfect , in the hub of Florence , and the hotel was quiet if the windows were closed .The air con worked well. The rooms were interesting . Good shower plenty of hot water. and the beds very comfy.The location is close to two lovely squares with restaurants and points of interest. The staff were very helpful. I think the best thing about this hotel is the location

The Stairs .....the accomadation is on the first floor but in fact there were two flights of stairs . This is not for those with any knee problems . Also there was no opportunity to purchase refreshments after breakfast ,later in the day . I made the booking in a hurry and choose it for the location but with hindsight as I have a knee problem and I should have booked somewhere with a lift . I hope this information is useful as I think maybe the hotel should point out there are a lot of stairs and would not be suitable for someone with any physical problems

The rooms are very nicely decorated and tasteful. The location is very central and easy to access various points of interest. The staff were lovely, especially the gentleman that helped us with breakfast, bags, and was very considerate! Breakfast was a nice spread, Italian style.

The location comes at a cost, it is very loud at night on the weekends (weekdays is ok). Not something that would normally bother me but this is right outside the window one floor down, lots of yelling till 2am or so Friday/Saturday. The linen and towels only changed every 3 days, I understand that the goal is to be environmentally friendly but perhaps we should be able to opt in to getting a sheet/towel change if needed. This is part of the expectation of staying in a hotel over an airbnb. Breakfast only starts at 8.30 which really is too late. If you want to do a 9am tour that means you will skip breakfast and have to source it elsewhere, it’s pretty inconvenient. Be warned that there is no lift so you need to manage a few flights of stairs, the reality of an old building. With all this considered, we were hoping for a luxurious experience and our expectations were set high from the current review score... this resulted in a bit of disappointment and I would say it wasn’t worth the cost.
