Palazzo dei Ciompi Suites

“Value for money was great”

We stayed in room palazzo v, second floor as a family of 5. 2 adults 3 children (12,11 & 9). I was very nervous after reading the most recent reviews. However I was happily surprised, the rooms are large and beds are comfortable and clean. We had two bathrooms which was great, they were modern and worked well. We only really spent a couple of hours there in the morning and an hour at night as we were making the most of our time in Florence. You are given a card to redeem for breakfast each day at the cafe next door which includes a pastry,juice, coffee and a 'sandwich'. I can't comment on the sandwich as we chose not to have that but from what I saw it looked like a small cheese toastie. The Americano was fabulous and our children loved the pastries. The only downside was that there was only one ,very large, window so there was minimal light in the apartment. My girls have also said that they could hear the elevator in the night which disturbed them but honestly being in a city noise is to be expected. It does need a little bit of modernisation in the decoration but for me where it matters is the bathrooms and they were great. Lots of mirrors and storage. The check in lady was a little abrupt but it wasn't an awful experience. Overall value for money it was great!

“Huge rooms, great location!”

I honestly don't know why there are such mixed reviews for this place. The rooms were huge. After being in a tiny room in Rome, this was a nice change. We had a family of 6 who shared the 3 bedroom suite on the first floor. The rooms are a little beat up as far as needing some touch up paint here and there but everything worked fine. The bathrooms were nicely redone. The breakfast next door was good as we finally had a latte made by person instead of those gross automated machines. If they did some minor cosmetic upgrades to this place, they could charge way more $$. The only issue we had was trying to do our laundry in shared laundry room. The dryers were very slow and 1 did not work at all. We ended up having to walk to a laundromat to bring our wet clothes to so we could make our flight in time. The location was great as we walked to the Duomo and many restaurants. At first I thought the location looked slightly sketch but after being in Naples, this area felt super safe. I'd definitely stay here again based on location and size of the rooms.
