We were very disapointed and decided to move out after 1 night. Room very small and dense air, bad smell in the room, extremely uncosy. We had to open the window wich resulted in multiple moscito bites. We were lucky to find a much better place to stay. Dont stay here!

We have been travelling throughout Italy for many years always with the same budget, and this is without any doubt the best place we have been: in the very same centre, by the Duomo (cathedral), in a quiet street; the room was nice, big and really comfortable; the heating was perfect; correct bathroom; silence and a double glass-window. The fact that breakfast is served in the room makes you start the day in a relaxed way and gives you some independence from the rest of the structure. It's really pleasant. You take your breakfast in a small table in the room placed there for that purpose, and it is really varied (croissants and bread, chocolate cream-Nutella and jam, cheese cream, cereals, juice, hot drinks...) and of quality (nothing about packaged croissants from unknown brands). Moreover, among all what they offer to you, you can choice and change as you please (only as a suggestion, it would be OK to include some ham, cheese or something like that for those who don't like a sweet breakfast!). Sara, the person who runs the Relais, is really pleasant. Far away from the forced smiles or the distant manner of other receptionists, she attends you with kindness and friendliness, and she is always very receptive to help you and make you feel good and comfortable there. We are really grateful to her and we remind her with affection. Without any doubt we will stay in the Relais Campanile when we return to Firenze.

Novecento is an excellent option for those looking for an affordable place to stay in the center of Florence. Located about a block away from the Duomo, you can't find a better place to be at their rates. We stayed in the Orange room, which faced Via Ricasoli, but the noise level was manageable. The room was immaculate, and the bed was the most comfortable on which we slept thoroughout our vacation in Italy. What truly struck us about this B&B was the service. The owners, Franco and Sawako, were warm, friendly, and extremely helpful during our stay. More than any other place we stayed during our trip through Italy, we would (and may, soon enough) return Novecento, mostly because of the hospitality. The only negative for this place are the flights of stairs you have to climb. It's technically on the 3rd floor, but it feels like it's on the 4th. However, we found it to be needed exercise given all the excellent food we ate while in Florence. But don't let the stairs discourage you from booking. Novecento is a hidden gem of a place.
