This was a simple find in florence. Close enough to the action of the duomo, yet far enough to be silent. Street vendors 1 block away for convenient tourist garbage shopping. Great restaurants all around. An distinguished clientele, average age 30 and alone. No party people. Incredible collection of books and guides. Charming layout.

Staff helped us assemble bicycles. Owner stored our excess luggage for 2 weeks free. Great location next to train station. Quiet and mellow. Clean room and good Internet service. Fabulous price. Fast check in and check out. No mosquitoes.

I stayed 1 night at Biijou after a very long flight. I selected this hotel because it is close to the train station and bus station in Florence. I had a room with a full bed and a ensuite bathroom. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, as well as it is very reasonably priced and good for those who... More

We spent two wonderful days at the Hotel Bijou: our room was very clean and welcoming, and the rooftop terrace was simply amazing! Another convenience: the location near the train station. Do not miss it!

After reading some reviews about the Hotel Bijou were a little hesitant, but when we arrived there we realized it is a great choice for young customers. Near train station, comfortable, clean, friendly staff, no curfew and above all cheap prices! We recommend it to all young travelers like us.

We stayed here for two separate nights in two different rooms both simple but very comfortable - both rooms with double bed and a single bed ie could sleep three. We were on the third floor (there is a lift) and there was a balcony with a view over street and gardens opposite. Rooms had high ceilings so very airy.... More

I only spent a day at the Hotel Bijou: I was going to Rome, I stopped in Florence to rest there because the hotel is located near the central train station. The room rate was very cheap, I got a great deal online: I agree, the staff is very friendly, even the cleaner is welcoming! I do not understand why... More

Two weeks ago we stopped in Florence for a day. We were very lucky to find a vacant room near the train station because all the hotels in downtown were full. Our room was very cozy and clean, with balcony too: it's very useful if you are a smoker! We slept very well there. Also, the staff were friendly and... More

My friend and I spent one night here and we couldn't wait to leave. The shared bathroom was dirty, and there was no bathmat so the floor was a deathtrap. There were two of us, but only one towel as the other towel seemed to have been used to catch the drips from the air conditioning (incidentally, we weren't able... More

Our replies to your "bizarre" review, full of errors and falsenesses: Nobody obliged you to stay here: if you did not like our hotel, you could leave immediately, before entering the room. You say the shared bathroom was dirty: of course, shared bath means you pay less but you have to use this bath along with other people, and a... More
