Il Ghiro is a budget accommodation but does provide all one needs. We asked for a twin room as i was travelling with a friend. The kitchen area is a bonus but it would be great if there was a table to sit at. There are bar stools and a small bench around the edges if the room that work... More

My husband and I really loved Il Ghiro. The descriptions we read online were spot on. This is a clean and friendly place to stay in a great location in the center of Florence. Il Ghiro provided us with great directions to get to the B&B from the Santa Maria Novella train station. It was a short walk (about 5... More

We arrived around 20:00, but had to be sent numerous emails to how to find out how to enter our room. The owner was very nice, but only there from 9:00 - 18:00. Our last night was horrid because others were loud until 1:45. The heat had no control, burning us up. The Wi-Fi didn't always reach our room.

For a very comfortable stay at a comfortable price! Its just 2 blocks from central train station, and 5 min walk from the Duomo and at a max of 15 min walk from all the beautiful florence attractions. The rooms were very clean and the service from Francesco and Danny were excelent!

Very close to the train station and bus stop for Peretola Airport. Close to historical centre and lots of restaurants nearby. Staff is very friendly and always keen to help with recommendations to make the most of Florence. Stayed two nights in the double room with shared bathroom. Clean, quiet, the bed was very comfortable. Coffee, kitchen free for use.... More

I stayed here for two nights with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed it. the location is great, a short walk from the train station on a quiet street. it is only a 5 minute walk to the central market as well, which should be your first stop once you check in to stock up on delicious local foods. we...

We stayed here for two nights in October. The service was fantastic. They were very helpful with all of our questions and even let us print out some tour vouchers that we needed. The bed was super comfortable, though the pillows were extremely hard. The location was perfect. It is centrally located to the main tourist attractions.

Stayed here with my wife for two nights before going to a wedding in Santa Margherita. Based on the cost, first impressions were not good. On entering the front door we had to drag out suitcases up six flights of stairs, there is no lift but we were helped by the receptionist. Having booked a double room with private ensuite... More

We are very sorry for the inconvenience about the dust. Of course we immediately cleaned up. Luckily, it is the first review speaking about something wrong with the cleanliness in our rooms. We will make all our efforts to leave this the only and last one. About the double/twin bed, it was just a missunderstanding , because the customer wrote... More
