We loved everything about our room. Very spacious and super tidy. Very comfortable beds and high quality bed linen and towels. The shower was incredible! The area is well connected and walking distance from the main attractions. Elisa was always available when we needed her. We highly recommend la Residencia Dell'Oraffo.

Perfect and convenient stay for Florence.

We had a lovely stay. Convenient for thr train an bus services. All attractions were within walking distance. Surrounded by shops and restaurants. Breakfast was a lovely continental style nearby and room was clean with everything you need for a short stay.
Richard, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location; amenities limited-only one cup provided for our room with two ppl. Room is noisy as it is facing the street, not much difference with the balcony door closed or open.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice!

Perfect location, very clean and comfortable room, but some street noise at night from nearby bar. Service was perfect. Recommended!
Elena, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is very convenient. However, there’s no place to put shampoo in the shower room, so I had to leave it on the floor, which was inconvenient. The smallest room is a bit too small, so I’d recommend getting a slightly larger one instead.
KIMIKO, 2-night trip

Amazing place to stay, close to everything and so clean!
Amina, 2-night trip

Great location that is walkable to everything.
Keith, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice, large room that is conveniently located near the train station. We were pleased with decor, cleanliness, and surprising quiet at night of the hotel. I really appreciated the expresso machine in the lobby.
Chandler, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Host was friendly and provided all necessary information to us upon check-in.
Jonathan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and very good location
Barbel, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff was very helpful and kind. Easy check in. The area isn’t the best, considering it’s right next to the train station, but convenient for travel. The room was much smaller in person, and our bed was 2 twins pushed together. Comforter was black so it just always looked dirty. The shower/bathroom was a lot smaller in person and uncomfortable to bathe in. Towels had stains which wasn’t pleasant. Don’t bother with the free breakfast either across the street.
Claudia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed the staying

It’s very roomy for a family of four adults, very close to the train station, walking distance to everything else.
Zhaohui, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Close to train station, but not hectic. Convenient to restaurants and major sights. Great breakfast.
Peter, 4-night trip

Aimmee, 1-night trip

Really convenient to station and market. Room is kept clean
Oshi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent option in Firenze - recommended!

Excellent option in Florence. Great hotel, 5 minutes walking from the train station. Great benefit for us: independent check-in using codes for the different hotel doors. In our case, we knew we would arrive late after 10 pm, but we weren't sure of the time and it could also happen that we arrived even later during the night. So being able to fully check in by ourselves was highly appreciated. Very comfortable and nicely decorated room with everything we needed. Kind personnel. Breakfast is offered in a café across the street, it is okay but could be better (perhaps include something extra). Anyway, good enough to start the day quickly. I would come back to this hotel in my next stay in Florence.
Macarena, 4-night trip

Place is clean and roomy. But shower unit is tiny.
