The area of room was perfect. The bathroom was very comfortable with a sort of mortar used as a flooring, which made it ever dry. The Wi-Fi was working perfectly. The breakfast was really good and they did not allow any serving to get empty. The receptionist omar was very helpful and provided me on the first day with a really comprehensive guidance on the map to help me explore Florence. The other receptionist lady also was very helpful. It was a lovely shared terrace in which you could sit by the side of the reception area.

24 hour reception with great staff who explained where everything is, where the delicious discount restaurant is. Great location, close to the tram stop to the airport, a little further bus stop around the city. It is possible to leave your things before check-in or after checkout. The breakfast is delicious. Good shampoo with a pleasant smell.

We needed to book a place to stay for an extra night. Since it was near the end of our trip, we chose the most reasonable price we could find. What a bargain! There were four of us and we slept in very comfortable, very clean bunk beds. At the beginning of the day, we were worried and frustrated, by the time we got to Garden Blue and saw the bunkbeds we were making a pajama party out of it. The next day, breakfast was on the house. There were plenty of items from which to choose and everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a great discovery. Whether you are on a budget or not, this is a great find.

I don't understand the mediocre reviews: it was a pretty decent stay! The staff is very friendly. I travelled with my old Indian mother, and the staff made sure she was welcomed and also initiated conversations with her (something we haven't encountered so far!). The rooms: Big and spacious, sufficient for two people. The room we had was on the first floor and the stairs were not very high up. The transport: You have to take a tram (2 stations from Firenze Santa Maria Railway station) and walk about 10-15 minutes (it's navigable). From here you can literally walk everywhere: The entire city of Florence is 10 minutes-20 minutes of walking from here. The tax: Higher on the Tourist tax: we paid 12 euros for 2 person per night. Be mindful of that because costs can add up. The breakfast: Lots of options including vegetarian things. Overall, it was really good. Don't know why the negative reviews; I think it was one of our better stays in entire Italy.

The location worked well. The receptionist recommended a wonderful restaurant which we walked to on day one and returned on Day 2. We did not have breakfast in the hotel but went to a nearby coffee shop which made coffee I love. Firenze is wonderful.

It was a nice, serviceable hotel (former hostel). Its big and busy... The staff were EXCELLENT - very friendly, very helpful, very professional. The location was 'okay' - a bit of a walk from the centre, but better because it was out of the tourist 'press'. The breakfast was 'good-ish' but again, being a big place, very busy. All in all, a good experience.

Breakfast was generous and suited us very well, as I'm vegetarian but my cousin is not.

It's a good place to stay for the price, clean rooms, sheets, everyday towel change and cleaning, always hot water. Decent breakfast. Very friendly and competent staff. Excellent amenities such as vast terraces for the evening relaxation with a glass of Tuscan wine or tumbler of Scotch. Summing up, it's a great place to stay for few days, close to City center, restaurants and shopping. Thumbs up! I wrote this opinion based on two three days stays at the place during my last vacation in August 2023. Cheer up everybody!

From our first arrival, Omar helped show us all the highlights of the areas and restaurants; we were impressed with the breakfast, and the chef took great pride in the croissants' cleanliness and quality; the walk is about 1.3 km to the center of the museum center. We also used the outdoor patios, which were nice for morning coffee.
