Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not sure why this hotel has a 4 star, as the only thing I found good about it was the location. All else was pretty bad. 1) It is not a hotel and more like a hostel. Bathroom has no separate shower/tub, and we had to shower on the bathroom floor, getting the floors all wet. 2) no hand towels , just shower towels and towels to wipe your butt which are very thin. 3) Did I see one review saying this hotel was " quiet"? No way, as we were on the 2nd floor, and heard a bunch of young people screaming and making loud noises well past 11pm. 4) breakfast was bad , not even expresso or cappuccino in the morning, just regular cups of coffee. Never seen that at an Italian hotel. Maybe there are others, but I have not. Can say their croissants were good but other than that, nothing to write home about. And for all this the price was not cheap, with the tax had to pay about 150 euros for this.

Positive: 1)The location is excellent, close to the main attractions whichever the direction you go 2)The reception staff are helpful and professional 3)Tariff is quite cheap considering the location in this tourist flourished city Negative: 1)Room lights are all fluorescent ones, which made me a bit uncomfortable 2)The toilet smelled of sewage and the horrible noise followed after flushing - don't know if this problem was only for our room. 3)Noisy with young revellers' shouting on the street until early morning. As I did so just in case, you'd better bring your earplugs On the whole, you will get what you paid for, which I could make myself understood.

Hotel is located at excellent location, on walking distance to every important cathedral or monument you need to see. Staff is nice and helpful, breakfast is excellent, rooms are very nice and clean. The rooftop of hotel itself is flat, actually it is a terrace with excellent view on the city.

Very odd place on the fourth floor then rambling on and on. Great views. The apartment was spotlessly clean but a bit tired and in need to some investment. The guy on reception was really prickly and not really bothered about the fact that we couldn’t hook onto the website of the hotel. The breakfast was…….. awful.

We stayed here for 2 nights August 22. It was a strange entrance to the hotel as reception was on the 4th floor, luckily there was lift. Our room was very basic, a bit outdated but clean and comfortable. It’s definitely not a quiet place, people in the hallway all night and you can hear the traffic and people outside because the door to the balcony didn’t close properly. The shower was a wet room type scenario but with the toilet behind the curtain instead of the shower… strange experience but did the job. The guy on the night/breakfast shift was the most kind and helpful person. I wish I had asked his name. He made us feel very welcome and helped us at breakfast time, lots of smiles and laughs. The location was perfect, walking distance to all the big attractions. I would stay here again despite the slightly odd set up.

We had an excellent experience with Hotel Bodoni in June 2022 with a five-night stay in Florence. Check-in was easy, the hotel and breakfast area is clean, and the staff is extremely nice and accommodating. While we speak limited conversational Italian, the staff speaks fluent English for the more complex conversations we had. The hotel has outdated decor including rooms that feel more like a nice US college dormitory, but the rooms and common areas are clean and feel relaxing. The breakfast was wonderful, and they have a beautiful, relaxing fourth-floor patio for eating or lounging and a fifth-floor solarium with a nice view of the Duomo and city. The night shift and breakfast staff are our favorite, and we even became friends and exchanged contact information with the night clerk. The hotel is in a great location for walking the city. It is about two blocks from the tourist areas, so the nights are quiet and restaurants excellent but inexpensive compared to the heart of the tourist area. An example is that we had delitious gelato from a gelateria a few building down from the hotel for 3 euros, whereas the same amount would have cost us 10 euros four blocks farther into the tourist area. The hotel is also located within a five-minute walk of some of the best restaurants we visited during our trip to Italy. Do not be fooled by the post office facility next door to the hotel that is ugly concrete, dirty, and looks derelict; the neighborhood is extremely safe to walk at all hours of the day. Hotel Bodoni is now our go-to hotel in Florence.

I was very pleasantly surprised. Room was small but definitely enough for two people. Good wifi and nice English speaking staff. Delicious breakfast. Really close to all the monuments. Absolutely worth the money!

The room I was given had an annoying stench coming from the bathroom, likely due to old plumbing. Also , you could hear ALL conversations in the hallway. Not the best place for people who need quiet. Breakfast was fine, coffee and staff wonderful.
