Residence La Repubblica

The windows are to the backside av the bildning and are isn't well isolated,there are ventilations holes in the wall, all sounds hears inside. Supply av goods begin 06:30 in the morning, is impossible to sleep. There was reconstruction when we was there.Hygien under average level. Only location worths.

I cannot sing the praises of this apartment enough! We stayed here for 4 nights and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The room had a fab view overlooking the Piazza Repubblica and we could see the top of the Duomo, Giotto's tower and Medici's Chapel from the window. The room was decorated in a traditional Florentine style. The walls were so thick (and a 3 shutter window system) which meant we were never disturbed by the noise on the square and it stayed lovely and cool. The bed was large and comfortable and there was mini kitchenette inside a purposely styled dresser. We ate out for every meal so didn't really use it, but tea/coffee supplies would have been nice. The really winner here is the location! All the typical tourist spots are within very easy walking distance! We'd absolutely go back here and recommend to any serious sightseers who value location above over-priced, modernized hotel rooms.

We, mother & daughter, were in a "1-BR apt". Property is v dated, v below average. This place is overdue for renovation if used for tourists. Air-conditioner there(as listed on booking/hotel websites) but we were told not due to turn on during our stay (27°C). Windows can be opened but no window screens hence mosquitoes, especially with a few restaurants and eateries downstairs at street level. Also, very noisy even in wee hours with/without windows opened. Definitely not quiet and not for light sleepers. Bring your sleeping pills if you want a good-night's sleep. Lean and mean on supply such as toilet paper, towels, soap, shampoo.... No dish cloth, cleaning agents. Sponge for hand-wash in kitchen is not new but used/stained/gross. Despite presence of washing machine, dishwasher... there's not even single use of corresponding detergents. Looks like the hotel expects guests to bring/buy cleaning agents for a 4-day tour in Florence. We are aware of no housekeeping for our short stay(as stated on booking websites) but one bath towel per person??? Hand and face "towels" are not towels but simply napkins used in nice restaurants. First time ever for me to have to use restaurant napkins as towels!?!? €4 each additional towel if I want actual, normal towel. Given all those lacking amenities of a normal hotel for tourists, we were asked to pay for a "tourist tax" of €7 per person MUST BE IN CASH, card not accepted.

Excellent place to stay in Florence. Centrally located only two blocks from the Duomo or three blocks from the Ponte Vecchio. We stayed in a two room efficiency apartment with a mini kitchen. Excellent bathroom. A/C (which was needed). Elevators. Clean.

El apartamento es céntrico y espacioso, dos valores importantes. Pero a la vez es bastante antiguo, la nevera congelaba y había lo mínimo de lo mínimo, justo un poco de fairy y un estropajo para que puedas fregar. Ni siquiera había una bolsa en el cubo de la basura. Tuvimos que conseguir bolsas para poder tirar la basura. En el precio no va incluía la limpieza ni el cambio de toallas. Nosotros estuvimos 6 días y pagamos más que suficiente para tener esto incluido, al menos una vez. Había 2 sobres de gel y 2 rollos de papel. Para 6 días !!! Tuvimos que pedir más, pero resulta que la recepción está a 3 calles y en otro hotel así que vuelta al hotel a dejar el papel higiénico...

L'hôtel nous a attribué un appartement que nous n'avions pas réservé Appartement ne donnant pas sur la Piazza Republica mais avec vue sur une cour aveugle et un mur. Nous avons eut un appartement avec chambre dans mezzanine et salle bains et toilettes en dessous avec un escalier en colimaçon très dangereux, dangereux la nuit pour accéder aux toilettes. La cuisine mal équipée, pas de micro ondes ni de cafetière, les ustensiles étaient au strict minimum et dans état de vétusté. Enfin personnel de l'hôtel peu aimable. A fuir absolument.
