Incredible conversion of an old building, real attention to design detail. And stunning interior design of the rooms. The most beautiful tiny garden too which makes the space feel very special indeed, a welcome breathing space in busy Florence.

We stayed in the Beaton Suite and it was the perfect layout for a family with a teenage daughter. Presented beautifully every day.

The space downstairs is very small but breakfast was cleverly thought out and included all we needed. Excellent quality too. We loved eating in the garden with heat lamps when needed.

But a few things could be improved for this hotel to fully meet the expectations of guests:

1. It doesn’t work when guests have to eat inside - feels like eating in someone’s office! Would be much better if the team clearly led and explained breakfast and greeted guests as they arrived rather than person just sat working behind computer (we felt like we were interrupting). On the one day we were warmly and very confidently greeted at breakfast it made all the difference.

2. Staff need to be on site all day, only there til 1pm at present. There was a major air conditioning problem during our stay and guests needs in general, eg arrival, departure, luggage, taxis etc would be so much better met with one of the team being on site. It is more stressful for the guest than they realise without staff on site.

These small changes would make Ottantotto the perfect stay in Florence as it is an exceptionally beautiful place in a brilliant location. This is definitely my favourite area of Florence and we hope to return.

Beautiful room in a wonderful location. Loved the honesty bar.........breakfast could be better though.

Konum :
otel Floransanın eski otantik bölgesinde yer alıyor, turistik bölgeden farklı, Floransa küçük olduğu için en uzak turistik bölgeye yürüyerek 30-35 dk ulaşabilirsiniz. Toplu ulaşım da var, bu konuda sorun yaşamadık.
Yakında Pitti Sarayı var.

Check in :
saat 13.00 dan sonra personel yok, girişi kendiniz yapıyorsunuz, otel bu konuda detaylı bir mail gönderip bilgilendirdi, maili mutlk kontrol edin.

Personel: çok iyiydi

Kahvaltı :
Kahvaltısı zayıf, ama İtalyanın genelinde kahvaltı hamur işi ve kahve olduğundan çok şaşırmadık.
Kahvaltı salonu küçük, çok az seçenek var.

Odalar:
Cadde tarafında üst katta standart odada konakladık, oda ve banyo gayet temizdi, her gün temizleniyor. Zemin kattaki standart oda gürültü olabilir, o odayı rezerve etmediğinizden emin olun.

Güzel bir bahçesi var; çay kahve ve meyve üretsiz.

Yakın Çevre:

Yemek için çevrede güzel yerler var, odanızda da otelin önerdiği liste var.
Yakında Gusta pizza var pizzalar lezzetli ve fiyat uygun, girişte genelde sıra var. Hemen yakınında ikinci bir seçenek gustaosteria var.

Otelin sokağında fine dining restorant da var içecek listesi geniş, yemeklerini çok beğenmedik.

Premessa: chiunque scriva recensioni negative non ha il ben che minimo gusto o esperienza in materia di hotel.
L’ottantotto è esattamente come le foto pubblicate da loro, anzi meglio ancora. È vicino a tutte le principali attrazioni fiorentine. È pulito, di classe, ma soprattutto è accogliente: ci si sente come a casa! Personale cordiale e disponibile. Soggiorno da sogno, il migliore prima! Prezzo in linea con la qualità. Colazione indescrivibile con prodotti fatti in casa e abbondanti!
Ci tornerei assolutamente, super consigliato

The staff was fantastic. The receptionists were very helpful and answered all our questions. The room was clean and bright. The location is ideal, close to the centre and every service.
We will definitely be back! Thank you very much.

Sadly, we were very disappointed with this stay at Ottantotto,

We had previously enjoyed a lovely stay there where we had a room at the rear overlooking to courtyard. We rated it very highly and were looking forward to our return.

This time we were given a room immediately on the right of the front Entrance door. This room had a window that opened directly onto the pavement, which mean the window was about 1m away from passing traffic... the noisy cars, as Scooters! of Florence.

I hate not having fresh air but could not sleep through the noise, eventually giving up and closing the window, but alas I could not get the air conditioning to work and the thermostat was showing 22deg C, which is pretty hot for a bedroom, in December!

No matter how beautiful the room, how comfortable the bed, and how luxurious the bedding, if you cannot sleep for the noise or the heat it makes a waste of paying to sleep in a luxurious hotel.

Another small point, but worthy of mention, is that we were not offered real coffee (Cappuccino / Espresso etc) at breakfast, just pre-brewed coffee from a thermos jug. It wasn't bad, but not what you would expect from a £160/night boutique hotel ... and I'm also sure we were offered it at our last stay.

So simple advice, don't stay there unless you're sure they are giving you a quiet room!

One of the most beautiful places we've stayed. Clean, classy, rustic. The decor was perfect and the stay was quiet. Room was spacious and well equipped. Wished we could stay longer. A must stay!

On paper this should have been a very pleasant stay however we where greeted by " the owner"General manager " to say the least she was the most unprofessional person I have come across she was rude and had no manner of professionalism whatsoever. I do NOT recommend this hotel if you or your family want a pleasureable stay, P.S We were not the only people who had issues with the hotel. Florence on the other hand is beautiful go enjoy that.

Bella posizione. La nostra stanza era carina, un po’ buia, molto pulita.
La colazione molto scarsa, lo spazio è molto piccolo. Abbiamo dovuto aspettare che altri ospiti ci lasciassero il posto per poterci sedere.. non è una cosa molto carina.. personale gentile.
Per noi davvero troppo caro per i servizi offerti, non lo consigliamo.

I wanted to like this hotel as much as others but there were a few things that ruined our stay.

We booked the smaller double room based on good reviews. When we arrived it was on street level with a window opening to the road which was extremely noisy. There was a reed diffuser in the room that was the most potent smell I’ve ever encountered and aggravated my partners asthma.

There is no reception after 1 p.m. and check in is at 3 p.m. so we called the help number and explained the issues. Our only option was to move to a suite and pay the additional cost ourselves. I understand paying the cost but the room was not advertised accurately otherwise we would NEVER have booked it.

In the rooms there are no coffee machines, even the suite rooms. There were two sticks of Nescafé and no milk. I used one Nescafé and it wasn’t refreshed.

Additionally, there are reed diffusers around the whole property that are so unbelievably potent and smell terrible. It’s awful.

The breakfast is average. The bread and pastries are high processed supermarket and not tasty. Only saving grace was the cappuccino freshly made for us.

Overall, personally, I’d stay elsewhere and we left feeling disappointed.

Cute boutique style hotel in a very convenient location.
There is a lovely homeliness to the place yet everything is modern and clean.
Really nice breakfast too! Kind and warm staff.
