Hotel Merlini

Location, great staff

Ari is phenomenal and I think she has the best vibe and personality great location and good music and drinks easy walk to local restaurants and shopping and secure luggage storage will return you can even see the duomo and city view from my room

A great vibe. I can’t think of anything.

What a wonderful surprise to find this gem. The staff were exceptional and there was the added bonus of free meals, karaoke and other fun activities. Great vibe and would definitely stay again. Bathroom extras such as shower caps etc would be useful.

The staff were very friendly. The bed was comfy and it's located near the train station

The hosts. Rosario and Marco are very sweet, attentive, helpful and accommodating. Location is amazing!

Exceptional

it's a little weird that they have to come and open the door every time you come back to the room

Great location

The location was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Nothing.

Superb

Location of the hotel is perfect, between the train station and the city center , few minutes walk to both. Hotel is a very safe place. Staff is very helpful and kind. There's lots of antiques and art. The wiev was great over Duomo cathedral. Breakfast was nice with good coffee. Look for Ostelo sign to find the place. Value for money.

Convenient, clean, comfortable, great breakfast. The drain smell in the bathroom!

Location, breakfast, all the staff!! Mario, Rosario, Gabriella!! All great people!! Nothing …

Hidden gem

The room was clean, we got fresh towels everyday, the host was very friendly. Very good location.

Good value for money and perfect for exploring Florence. I’m rating this hotel based on the price-to-quality ratio compared to other hotels in the center of Florence, and for a 1-star hotel, it was a great stay! Fantastic location – just a short 5-7 minute walk from the tram/train station. Clean and modern bathroom – recently renovated, with hot water available at all times. The AC can be set to both hot and cold, and it worked perfectly. Helpful staff – no kettle in the room, but they kindly provided a pot of hot water when we asked. The WiFi was fast and worked well throughout our stay. And OMG, the greatest safe! Overall: If you’re visiting Florence and plan to spend most of your time exploring, this is a great budget-friendly option.

The staff was helpful,the room was clean,(they clean everyday),the location was amazing! Old furniture

The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of the main attractions of Firenze and just 10 minutes from the Santa Maria Novella train station. It is on the third floor of a building, there is a lift. Someone mentioned in their reviews to look for the "Ostello" sign outside and that helped me a lot to identify the building. The room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and I had a nice city view. It is very quiet there at all times, which helped me to rest properly. It is worth knowing that there is no option for breakfast, but there are many coffee shops around where you can get a coffee and a croissant, or something savoury for around €5. The hosts are very kind and polite. I found hotel Merlini to be a very good option/price to stay a few days in Firenze. The corridor where the rooms are sometimes smelled very weird, not sure why. But it didn’t affect the room.
