B&B Al Duomo - Florence

The place was very nice and clean. Guido and MariaGoconda were great hosts and they made sure that we had a pleasant stay.

There were too many staircases all over the place. The bed in the room was extremely noisy, any little move and you could hear the squeaking all over the place. But other than that everything was very nice.

Location was excellent: central and easy access. Beds were comfortable and sheets were good quality and fresh. Place was clean.

The owners were courteous, mostly. It seemed hard for Mariagioconda to be genuinely friendly. She was very curt with us and other guests. Guido was always nice and in a good mood. The breakfast was unfortunate: one yogurt cup, one croissant, and some toasted slices of cut bread, along with coffee, tea and juice. Nothing else was offered. No cheese, meat, egg. Very lacking. We had to eat elsewhere.

The location was wonderful although we were moved from this actual hotel to the owners home around the corner which was lovely and we were made to feel very welcome just like being in your own home

We could not pay by credit card although the hotel site says they accept credit cards they insisted on cash payment and were a little put out when we requested a receipt.

Al Duomo b&b is located right in the center of Florence, and comes with a view of the Duomo-which also means that you get an automatic wake-up call once the bells in the Campanile go off just before 8 o'clock. Friendly staff, great location, beautiful rooms, good breakfast. Highly recommended.

Really liked this room, and got it at a great price in March. Had a single room with bathroom facing south (I.E., off the street). While I would have liked one with a view of the Duomo, in the end with the street noise coming off the Duomo piazza at night, I was glad to have a quiet room facing onto the interior of the block, which was totally quiet. The room was great, clean, and quiet.

Some may find it a challenge to communicate with the gentleman manager who speaks only Italian; his wife speaks excellent English, and showed up for my arrival. Had some trouble with the Credit Card machine and in the end had to pay with cash. I have since established that it was not either of my cards that was the problem. So be prepared...a cash machine is around the block.

Maria was very kind and her english was also execeelent. Her morning meal was simple but tastes good. we really enjoyed that. And through the window you can see the red arch roof if Duomo. Since it is located at the center of the firenze, any good place are near.

People are coming to Al Duimo needs to call Maria.when you arrive at firenze. It is hard to find the place.
