Although it was on a busy road when one closes the shutters it is not to bad. We were made to feel very welcome and transport systems were explained to us. The owner was very helpfull in guiding us to great places to visit throught Italy and took time to make us feel comfortable. I will go back without hesitation

This a great b+b. A great value, and a very nice , clean, and spacious place. It is a bit far from the action, being about 15 minutes walk from the train station, in the opposite direction of Central Florence, but that is why it is such a great value. The owner is S U P E R ! Helped us with an emergency - He actually took us to the Hospital and sat with us until 2am to interpret for us. I can't say enough about how great this people are who run this B+B. The only down side is the location, which isn't so bad if you are prepared for it. Tee bus runs right by the place the the owner will give great directions about using the bus and finding the place.

The hotel seems to be totally mis-categorized by Venere.com as a Bed and Breakfast. This was more like one of the economy/cheap motels found in the US. The motel is close to the station however a little far from the Florence City center. The reception staff was missing for most of our stay and our cleaning maid informed us that the "coffee/tea sachets" and the hot water flask were our "breakfast". Our room was right next to the reception on one side and the street on the other - both leading to a lot of noise. To be fair - the hotel was fairly neat and clean for the price - however doesn't deserve the glowing reviews as a Bed and Breakfast as it did on Venere.com. I think Venere.com needs to list it as a motel rather than a B&B

Simply superb! only minor drawbacks: 1.Should clarify/simplify the direction from SMN train station 2. was too keen on implementing "quitness" -- even when there was sound due to walking in wooden floor, concern was expressed

An old italian house. Clean rooms and very friendly and helpfull service! Not to expensive and not to far from the center. Internet to use for all clients. Nice restaurant close by (Jacopino) with only italians, no tourists, good italian food for a very good price.

The welcoming was great, friendly people, can't beat the location. But there has to be better directions for the Italian-language impaired as how to find it from the train station. The Map as supplied by Venere was not helpful. If you ask the address at the train station, you will be given the wrong information.

This is a very nice place to stay, if you want to know Florence. Is not that far from the center, and as a lot of transportation nearby, including the railway station, that allows you to catch the train and go to other places nearby (Venice, Pisa, Milan, etc). The employees are very nice, the place is clean and for the price, it's maybe the best offer in Florence!! RECOMENDED!!!

We had a nice stay and they were very accommodating. The staff was also very nice. The only down side was that were we stayed, supplies were kept and the staff had to go back in forth early in the morning, there was no privacy when going to bathroom.

I'm not sure if our comments are going to be representative because we arrived after having lost our credit card due to a theft in Bologna. We were a bit at odds until Francesco our English-speaking host made us comfortable. He was most helpful. One feature of the premises which was very helpful to us was the unlimited use of the computer. That got us up-to-date on USA news and permitted us to send notes to relatives at home. Francesco told us of intended upgrades to try to block out traffic noise which is a problem during the day. We were concerned about this upon arrival, but Francesco was correct in noting that the traffic noise was not a problem at night. Howard Leroy Davis, USA

The stay at Soggiorno Madrid was overall excellent. The only issue I could find was that the directions were a bit vague but we got through that. Room was clean and well-kept. Staff very friendly and attentive when needed. We got a good bit of information on how to get around and that made everything even more positive. In the end, it served its purpose more than adequately and I would recommend it to my friends.

Muy Recomendable, se encuentra a unos 15 minutos caminando de la estacion de tren, pero una vez instalado es muy facil para moverte por la ciudad ya que cerca existe una parada de bus. Fuimos atendidos muy bien, ademas que nos dieron consejos para lugares que visitar. Eso si, es necesario efectuar reserva para la Galleria y la Academia con antelación (1 mes antes), porque se pierde entre 2 o 3 horas de fila.

you never mention on the hotel review that it was situated on a carrefour, with a traffic started from 6'00 am to 24'00. No chance to opened the window, and no chance for a quiet nigh to sleep. the place was more like a bed and breakfast witout breakfast than a hotel. the owner transform his appartement into a kind of hotel!!! will never go back and recommand to someone else.

The accommodations were very nice, spacious and clean. We chose this place as we were leaving from the airport the next day and wanted somewhere close. The bus into the town center was a block away and very easy to catch. The manager was great. She made reservations for us at the Ufizzi gallery and helped with various details. Her English was good and she was very accommodating. It was very nice to have access to a computer for free. We would stay again.

Habitación moderna y espaciosa. Algo de ruido exterior. La calles de al lado es estrecha pero frecuentada por coches. La encargada es muy amable. Déjate aconsejar por ella para ir a comer. Para ser Italia buena relación calidad-precio.

Good clean little hostel. Beware that there is a 9pm last check-in policy that Venere doesn't make you aware of in the reservation confirmation. We were "welcomed" by a VERY VERY VERY angry Italian lady, she yelled at us for about 20 min because we got there after 9pm. Other than this incredibly uncomfortable check-in the stay was good.

The Soggiorno Madrid is a lovely place, even though it is not located in the best area of Florence. The room was lovely and the staff/owner delightful to talk to. We really enjoyed the experience there.

Although rated as 2 stars, the location and the rooms of the hotel was excellent for the price. No breakfast or front desk at night. But who really needs that in Florence? The hotel is located in a characteristic building near a main road. Walkable distance to all major attractions.

Although the hotel is small, the rooms are spacious, clean and tidy, especially the bathrooms, they look newly renovated. The hotel located in a convenient area which is only 20-30 minutes walk to the main train station, and one fantastic thing is it provides free access to internet. I would like to say thank you to the lady works in the hotel, she is nice enough to give us the welcome drink on our day of arrival. The only thing that disappointed me is the hotel is on the 1st floor of a old building and adjacent to the main street which is very noisy during the day. I would like to stay at this hotel again and recommend to my friends when they go to Florence.
