Stayed in the Carolus Hotel for three nights in May this year on business and found it unimpressive. The room was very small and I was glad I was only there on my own, I think it would be too small for two people although it was a double. My room was at the front of the hotel but I wasn't disturbed by noise. There were a couple of issues with the room that although were not major were annoying. The bracket the shower was on was broken so it kept swinging round to the wall and I had to eventually hold it to have a shower. There were dirty marks on the walls and the top cover on the bed didn't seem clean. On the positive side the breakfast offered was good and service at breakfast time was efficient. The hotel is also in a good location and only about a ten minute walk from the main attractions. I will definitely return to Florence again but would not stay in the Carolus Hotel.

Underwhelming... and uncomfortable

After reading some of these reviews, we had high hopes for our stay in Florence. The good stuff: The bell staff is very friendly and fluent in English. The view from our room was pretty. The location is convenient to most of the central Florentine sights. The bad stuff: Overall, the hotel is a dirty... the carpets in the hallways are stained, there was an abundance of mildew in the bath, and during the nearly week long stay they never replaced our towels. Upon our arrival, there was a blue & gold coverlet on the bed which was stained with white crusty stuff, It disappeared when the maid came the next day but they left us with just sheets for the rest of the week. It's uncomfortable: Exhausted from a long flight we collapsed onto a much too firm bed. Upon waking up, we attempted to shower, but without an actual shower curtain you're forced to cram towards the faucet so you don't wet the entire bathroom. Add to that the scalding hot surges of water from flushes elsewhere in the building and it makes bath time a little awkward. We were here on business, and the "free wifi internet connection" is very unreliable. The desk staff was apologetic, but conditions didn't improve so don't count on doing work online. Breakfast may be typical Italian, but the food is "underwhelming" although the room is beautiful and the staff is very nice.
