An absolutely amazing place to stay in Florence. The staff were always kind and helpful. The room had a beautifully painted ceiling and the cleaning service always made the rooms spotless. Walking distance to everything - about a 3 minute walk to the Santa Maria cathedral (the Duomo). Breakfast was always delicious and the staff even remembers the guests coffee/tea orders. So considerate. As it is an older building, the walls are thin. Be prepared to hear other people in their rooms talking or a baby crying. Highly recommend and would go back in a heartbeat!

Disappointed stay.
Paid more for a queen bed and twin and sofa bed. Staff would not honor accommodation and would not reduce charge. Requested add'l toilet paper and towels but staff would only accommodate for add'l charge. Staff helpful but rude. Room spacious but inside building appearance tired and old. Hall rugs extremely old and worn. Photos not recent and misleading. Excellent location but would not stay here again.

The reservation was for 2 people, you paid for 2 not 4 as already explained, you did not pay anything extra, that is the price for 2 people, for 2 we make either a double bed or two single beds not 4 beds, the linen is changed every day but we do not put it extra.

They have some rooms on the opposite side of the building that you can only reach by going down in the elevator, crossing the courtyard, and going up again in another elevator. That's where the Topazio room is. It was a great single room, L-shaped with a day bed in addition to the regular twin. TV channels minimal, but great AC, thank god. Breakfast is small but fine, served in reception area. You do have to buzz at the entrance to get into the hotel, and then they give you a fob to use while you're there.

The ceiling was painted in lovely colors with flowers and 2 beautiful women. This had to be 150 years old or more. The building was from 1500, said the owner. The location was very handy. Our breakfast provided many choices and was very tasty. I would stay here again definitely.

Fantastic location! For that reason alone I would recommend this B&B. The room was large however the bed wasn’t very comfortable. The breakfast wasn’t the best and the staff was nice but didn’t go out of their way to make recommendations when asked.

Pleasant stay in a great, central location!
We had a wonderful stay at Alloro B&B, where we were welcomed by the owners from the start. Great location for access into the centre of Florence, with plenty of good restaurants nearby too. Lovely breakfast every morning which always ensured a great start to the day! Thank you to all of the team at Alloro B&B!

This was the worst place to stay in that I have ever experienced! The pictures they show online to get you to stay there are very nice but it's not real. The staff is less than friendly, are unavailable to give any service and frankly don't care. When I called from my room for assistance I was hung up on! The walls are paper thin and you hear everything in every room!! Be prepared for no sleep if you stay here as you won't get any! It's way more expensive than other nice hotels you can stay at in Florence. Don't book your stay here, go somewhere else!

The Alloro B&B was perfect for us. It was in a great location, within a few minutes walk to the Duomo. The room was clean and the large bed very comfortable. Breakfast was one of the best we had in Italy and their service was excellent. We would stay here again if we were to come back to Florence.

Ideal location, Allora
Great B&B occupying the third floor of a typical Italian residence, ideally located not far from Santa Maria Novella train station. Our room was deal and very clean, older styled decor, but nice. En-suite bathroom with great shower! Breakfast good and all the staff were very nice. Slightly noisy from the street below even with the shutters closed and I was glad I had taken my ear plugs although my husband was ok with it, but you are in the centre of Florence! All in all I would definitely return.

We loved staying at Alloro BnB! The location was superb, just a short walk from the train station, and also an easy walk to the city centre and all of Florence's wonderful attractions. Directly above some fantastic restaurants, close to a lively square and market, we just loved staying here. The staff was very helpful, let us check-in early and leave our bags in the lobby for a few hours before and after checkout which was very helpful for us! They also booked us a time at Uffizi gallery in advance. The breakfast was amazing!! felt so lovely to come home to this place after a busy day exploring Florence. would definitely stay there again!!!

Hotel was chosen for location right in the centre and near all attractions. However would not recommend to single traveller, single rooms very primitive and basic, somewhat different from image on website, although very clean. Staff attentive and helpful.

Very disappointed
I was super excited about this cute little B&B. But start to finish I was disappointed. It’s incredibly difficult to find, the entrance isn’t to the hotel itself but a hallway that leads to a complex with different businesses. The elevator to get to the floor where check-in is incredibly small and I could barely fit my one bag and myself. Then the rooms aren’t even in the same building where you check in, you have to go back downstairs, outside, across the courtyard and take another elevator. You are also given three separate keys one for the gate, one for your hallway, and one for your room. My room was the little yellow twin bed in the photos, but what wasn’t pictured on the Expedia website was the bathroom which uses the floor as the shower which left everything wet and humid. Over all the room wasn’t as clean or nice as I expected. I also had an issue with how hot it was, when I first arrived I brought to the managers attention that I couldn’t get the air to work and he told me it’s turned off for the season and then wanted to argue with me about it, even though it was close to 80 degrees. I literally had to ask for a bowl of ice that I put in a baggie to lay on. At night I tried to sleep with the window open but got eaten alive by mosquitos, also church bells start going off around 7am which woke me up whether the window was open or not. The WiFi is also weird, it wants you to agree to connect to your social media or private accounts which is inappropriate.

Great location
Located in the heart of all the things to see and close to the train station. Small room, but why stay in the room when you are in Florence. Bed comfort okay. Only issue was the shower curtain that seemed to come alive when taking a shower. Water goes all over the floor when trying to straighten the curtain. The curtain would "attack" me by clinging to my legs. Would be best if they invested in the doors that slide around the small rectangular area of the shower.

Nice place to stay and close to everything!
Wonderful stay overall. We had room 53 which was large and had a big shower. Water pressure was good and hot. Heat was good but it was hard to control temperature. The left unit had a very squeaky fan that bothered us at night sometimes. The breakfast exceeded our expectations with many choices of fruits and vegetables, as well as meats and cheeses and even smoked salmon. We had a courtyard room so no noise from street but did hear noise from neighbors in the evening. Things that could be improved: earlier breakfast (currently starts at 8am), bigger safe (it cannot fit most tablet computers), wifi requires credentials from social media which is not safe, also drops out on occasion but speed is good. TV is about as tiny as could be! Need a backup battery powered night light in the hallway. We had to leave before dawn and it was pitch black! Also not safe in emergency! Would be nice to have a nicer blanket and a do not disturb sign.

Comfortable Place close to everything
A comfortable and enjoyable place to stay in Florence within walking distance of the train station and major tourist sites. Comfortable and clean room with good service - I was pleasantly surprised when they delivered laundry directly to our room. The only drawback I can see is part of its strong points - its close to everything but that can make it somewhat loud at night.

Lovely b&b in city centre.
Alloro is 5 mins from train station and 5 mins walk from Il Duomo. Our welcome was warm and informative. Our room was fine much bigger than one we had been in Rome. The owner apologised that we wld have to move after first night. We were amazed when we saw new room. It was 8 mtres by 7 mtres with 3 big windows. The hotel has 11 rooms and a lot of character. Great location and the breakfast is as good as it gets for continental. We plan to use as a base next year to visit Pisa and Sienna.
