Franz House Reviews

Bright, clean and in a great location. 5-10 minutes walk to almost every sight in florence. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We were given a map and recommendations of places to see and restaurants to eat at. Every place recommended turned out great. The street below is quite noisy so i would suggest ear plugs.

Great stay at this B&B. Breakfast is 3euro but should be more as Giovanni puts on an excellent spread of food...toasted sandwich, yogurt, coffee, hot chocolate, croissants etc. Giovanni the owner is friendly and helpful. Premises is kept clean and tidy. There is no common room or kitchen facilities.

Can't really fault it. Friendly greeting on arrival. Useful quick discussion about good places to visit. Secure rooms. Lift. Rail Station within easy walking distance, eating places in streets near, and well placed to stroll to all the main sights. Good wifi. Breakfast was highly recommended by other guests I spoke to, but I tended to skip it to be out. Would definitely use for future trips to Florence. I'd recommend the big corner (double) room with view of river over any hotel.

Great location, very helpful owner, everything was just as advertised.

Best stay we had in Italy.

We have a private room with a connected bathroom. Hotel value for a hostel price..awesome!

Very well located, cheap and very nice staff. We had a wonderful experience!

A home away from home, we were greeted with a beautiful welcome to a beautiful city. The host was so welcoming, and having not much time to see so many places, mapped out a perfect tour for us. Recommended to all, and with only 2 minutes walk to Ponte Vecchio I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay.

I would recommend Franz House to anyone coming to Florence...its prime location, reasonably priced, and nice! Giovanni was a great help too!!

The most important thing to note about this hotel is that you absolutely must check in either during the listed times or at the time you list on your booking. We got it for a steal because of the off-season, and the room was very nice and we could see the Arno from our window. It's not especially close to the Uffizi or Ponte Vecchio, but everything is walkable in Florence.

Perfect room, perfect service

Very good breakfast!

This hostel was absolutely wonderful and I would reccommend it to anyone travelling to Florence. Rooms were clean and very nicely decorated (usually in this priceclass you get whitewashed rooms), bathrooms were clean, owner was very nice, cooked up a nice breakfast and was generally very helpful. Location is excellent too - top marks all around!

Very nice hostel. The owner is very kind and makes a very good omelette at breakfast. The location is PERFECT, is just in the middle of Florence and you can go walking to everywhere, no need to use public transport. The owner recommend us a very good place for lunch, I definitely recommend you to ask him for it if you go to Franz House.

here is so clean! everyday staff always clean the room but a little cold...... staff told us specific route around here it is so helpful and breakfast was so tasty and full

It was a great stay, the only thing is the wifi worked in ont half the room. But it was the outermost room so I'm sure the other rooms woulda be okay.

The owner was very kind to share his insider information to us. Noise was not a problem at winter time because we could close the window. However it was advisable to bring ear plugs at summer time for those noise sensitive persons.

Large clean rooms, great value, and noise is not a problem if you close over the shutters and bring a pair of ear plugs. Of course it's going to be busy outside - it's bang in the centre of Florence! EXCELLENT location. Great shared facilities and a very friendly owner. I'd be more than happy to stay here again. We were a party of 8 friends and we shared 2 rooms - no problems at all.

Loved our stay here Giovarni- you make the hostel such a good experience!

this hostel is in a great location and within walking distance from everything. The owner even took an hour to draw out a walking tour of FLorence for our stay.
