La Porta del Paradiso

the city tax paid was higher than the one stated on trip.com, and this is not a hotel, it's located in a residency building where locals stare at you whenever you're entering the buiding...

Les points positifs : emplacement (proche de l'arrêt Porta a Prato et du tramway = 5 minutes de la station Santa Maria Novella), self check-in, accueil du propriétaire, petit déjeuner, propreté de la chambre, confort du lit, durable prix. Points négatifs : le bruit de la rue (il n'y a pas d'insonorisation), l'accès aux chambres par une seule porte d'entrée qui fait un va-et-vient constant de jour comme de nuit et on ne peut pas dormir.

Pour le prix que nous avons payé chambre inadéquate dommage trop de chichi pollution sonore Petit déjeuner tout froid, trop de pain, rien de traditionnel C'est 1* au moins. Bien qu'il n'y ait que de meilleures chambres. Ils pourraient au moins s'excuser

L'emplacement de ce Bnb est excellent tant pour le centre que pour la gare SMN. L'hôte est une dame très serviable et gentille qui nous a accueillis avant l'enregistrement et nous a choyés avec un bon petit déjeuner. Les chambres sont grandes et propres, j'y retournerai certainement.

Excellent hôtel, à 10 minutes du centre équipé de tout confort, soigné et propre. Tiziana vous fait sentir comme chez vous, disponible pour tous les besoins, sans oublier le super petit-déjeuner qu'elle vous prépare avec amour le matin.

The owner of this establishment was lovely and tried her best to accommodate to a group of 22 students and 4 adults. It was the fault of the tour company not hers, that this was not an appropriate place for a group of this size. There was no reception area and no place to gather. The size of the breakfast room required us to have the kids eat breakfast in shifts. When you enter the building, you go into a dark corridor. The lights stay on about 1 minute and then you have to keep turning them on. This is where we would meet as a group to give directions, instructions, etc. To lock my room from the inside, a key was required. Also, you needed to the key to unlock the room to get out. That seems like a fire hazard, especially with kids. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the room was clean. However, one of my light fixtures was broken and the handle to the hose type bidet came off, so there was always a slight leak. The hair dryer would stay on for a couple of minutes and then shut off until it cooled down again. If you are a couple on a budget, this might be an acceptable place to stay. I, personally, would choose a different establishment.

From the moment I arrived and was greeted by the owner, I felt welcome and utterly comfortable at La Porta del Paradiso. When she presented me with a large balcony, I could not believe it. In fact, I don't think it mentioned anything about a balcony in my booking. As you can imagine, this was a wonderful surprise and only enhanced my stay. I suggest going to the grocery store downstairs, picking up some food and drinks, and hanging out on the balcony to watch the sunset. It was truly a special experience. The bed was comfortable, the instructions for entering the building were easy, the room was tastefully decorated. I would say the only downside to this place was twofold; the noise. Whenever someone entered the apar**ent you'd hear a loud buzzing from the door being buzzed open. The walls were also quite thin, so you'd hear people eating breakfast or talking in the hallway. However, I won't detract any points for this as this is a pretty typical thing in Europe. Still, it was noisier than most places I've been to. In addition, my room did not have a traditional shower. Instead it had a tub and a shower nozzle. This made taking showers much trickier. All in all, however, I loved my stay and would return in a heartbeat when I come back to Florence someday.
