Noisy hotel with poor air-conditioning, forget about breakfast - better not to eat. Staff hardly speak English, so be prepared to communicate in body language on Italian. I won't come back. Pretty sure there are many other places for the same price.

This hotel was the worst I have ever stayed in, I could not say enough bad things about it! It was filthy, old and grotty. There was a huge rug on the floor which was filthy so we had to wear shoes at all times. We were supposed to stay for 3 nights but we only stayed for one night... More

Hotel Guelfa is in a great location, really close to the Duomo, shopping, and food. If you are a Rick Steve's fan you can find many of his dining and gelato suggestions close-by or within walking distance. The Hotel is family run and they really went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The rooms are comfortable enough... More

Given certain restrictions on the language and content which I may use I enter this message with a certain number of ‘conservative’ opinions. Firstly the room for 60 Euros was adequate but was extremely dark and depressing. With a loud air conditioning unit and windows opened by the maids so that flies and mosquitoes could get in made the stay... More

I arrived in Florence main station and the agent got me room in this hotel. The furniture was very old and in the night there was a lot of noise from some kind of transformer on the hallway, making it very hard to sleep, next to noise from other rooms. I was happy when the alarm clock showed 9am and... More

Operating on a limited budget, we wanted to find a cheap but cheerful central location &, in the Hotel Guelfa we found it. Flying into Pisa & travelling by train into Florence we were grateful that the Hotel is so convenient to Firenze SMN & all the principal tourist attractions. The staff could not have been more welcoming or more... More

The 2-star hotel has a good location - about 5 minute walk from the Dome. As it was high season and everything seemed to be booked out, we stayed in their shared bathroom double for two nights. The room was really tiny and faced the street. There was quite a lot of noise from the street and from the small... More

Initially I was pretty happy with the place. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped us with our train bookings etc. And at first I thought the room was pretty quiet. Unfortunately the noise outside is not what you need to worry about, it's the noise from wihin. Like a lot of other budget priced Italian hotels, the... More

I was quoted 85 Euros/night with continental breakfast ($312 for three nights). My cousin and I stayed in room 24, which was very plain. The room had a king bed and a twin bed, small table with TV, and armoire. The carpeting desperately needs to be replaced, as well as the "lock" on the bathroom door. The bathroom was very... More
