This was in a great location! About a 5 mins walk from the train station. We did have a hard time finding it. The address on here brought us somewhere else down the street so we did have a hard time finding it, best to just look it up on Google. We did lots of tours and the meeting spots were within a 5-10 min walk from this place. The room was nice, we had a room with a private bathroom and it was strange that the toilet was in the shower with you but you got use to it.

Overall, I had a really pleasant stay at the Casa Billi. Lorenzo was there to check me in at my planned arrival time. My room was clean and my shared washroom was relatively clean, too. Other share users/guests seemed respectful. The surrounding area was safe and lively, very convenient, walking distance to all attractions. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Worst place ever!!! The check in is only for 2 hours through the day and almost lost the reservation with no refund. There was no shower place, the shower was in the middle of the bathroom. The stairs where dark. The staff (owner) was not flexible. The room was not nice. Do not recomend. For the same price there are more places to stay by the same street or around, the spot is great to walk around. We move to another place as soon as we could.

Dear LauraI'm sorry for what you saythe check in is not only for 2 hours, it is written in your confirmations.I also wrote to ask you for your arrival time, so that you can have your check in in complete autonomy.Although you never answered us, when your brother phoned me, I made myself available to let you check in after 22 pm without problems and without extra fees: when you arrived, in fact, I was there, don't you remember? What means I'm not flexible?You did not get any refunds because you stayed hereIn the stairs and throughout the building there are timed lights, just use them, and if they go out, you can turn them on again.If it were true that there are places where you can stay better at the same price, why is it so difficult to find a place in Florence?Maybe you felt bad because you chose this room, among the many that I proposeAs an extra you also found a free lift that is not in the description of your room.But ultimately, you complain about the refund, but have you stayed or not?Maybe you have confused the places you have been, please check carefully

On the plus side: the host is pleasant; the room was extremely quiet even though it was very busy outside; it is conveniently located near major attractions; it has a small fridge and air conditioning. On the negative side: the room lacks amenities such as a bath mat, glasses for rinsing or drinking, and the only soap provided was three sachets for two people. Though it is quiet, it is not a particularly restful place to come back to.

tks for your choice: we work hard to improve every days, also in the hard 2 past years of covid the soaps: it may be that the housekeeper forgot to restock you, the same for the bath mat, just ask crockery and glasses: sorry but we do not supply any: we offer accommodation with kitchens with all the amenities you requested, but there must be a difference tks for your choice, hope to host you again

The owner is a class act. He welcomed us to the property. The property is in the middle of every place to be visited in Florence. Minutes from Santa Maria Novela Train Station, a landrauemat in the corner, restaurants and bars near by. The place is clean, a/c works great, it has an elevator and people can leave luggage after checkout. Great price and perfect location. The only improvement will be the wifi. A wifi extender will be great. I enjoy it, I recommend it and I hope to stay again in the future. Thanks!

Amazing place to stay in Florence, super convenient location, walking distance from everything, close to the train station. I really love Florence and this place make it better. Cozy and comfy room, clean share bathroom, familiar feeling, nice view from my window. Lorenzo was great to deal with, I did late checking and the process was easy, the hotel is super secure, Lorenzo also recommended a the best restaurant for the Florentina Bistecca and it was delicious. Affordable, convenient, cozy, good price, friendly staff. If I am back to Florence i'll stay here again for sure.

Florence Casa Billi-AWESOME
First part is host! Lorenzo is a great host. Dedicates time to answer any questions and even sit down with you to plan your adventures. Second is location. Minutes from major tourist points that everyone is interested in. It is very close to the SNM train station. Excellent value. Restaurants and small supermarket at your door. You will love this place. Two of the rooms have private bathroom and shower.

Great location, good for short stays
Lorenzo was great! The location was great! This was my first time staying somewhere where I had to share a bathroom and I did not enjoy that. I believe there is an option to not share and I would recommend that. The negatives in my opinion: the walls are thin, the pillows are bad, the shared bathroom shower was so small with nowhere to put your things, and towels were not changed (they have a policy that you only get fresh towels every 7 days). If you’re here on a budget for a short stay this is a great option, but I wish I would’ve splurged a bit more for a place that provides fresh towels. Despite all the negatives, I’m happy with it since the location was amazing and my time in Florence was great!

I did t even stay ! Lost my money
I didn’t even stay. Upon my arrival, I had to wait a while before gaining access upstairs, by asking a random couple if they would please allow me up with them. Because no one gave me access or cane to help me. The lady at the front was not very kind. I asked if I could please see the room because I did not like the conditions of the place, they did not match the pictures and the costumer service was very lacking to say the least. With an attitude she showed me the room and I told her I did not feel comfortable or safe, she said “ I don’t know what to say, you already paid” I told her I was unhappy and would have to find another hotel. She said “ there is nothing I can do, please delete all the information on your phone for the access” she had me show her my phone to make sure I deleted it !!! As if that wasn’t enough, she closed the door immediately and I had to knock again to have her give me access to go down stairs with all my suitcases. I had to walk down the streets asking the hotels if they had availability, and most were sold out... upon contacting hotel.com they told me they exhausted their efforts but that Affitticamera Casa Billi would not give any sort of refund and credit and accused me of “ simply walking out” I’ve never had such a horrifying experience with such lack of hospitality from a place. I would never recommend this place. Ruined my initial experience in Florence. Awful

I'm sorry Maria, but I don't know you: after you arrived, I opened the door for you, you just had to reach the second floor, where I waited for you: you phoned and wrote me, and I told you how to reach me. I have no helpers, there is only me, just read the experiences of the people who preceded you Moreover, our check-in times end at 15.00, as you well know, and I had to leave my work and go back only for you, outside our hours: it is possible to make self check in, but I prefer to be here for our guest' best welcome. Nothing more was asked of you. The fact that you used an elevator testifies to the fact that you have not been here: it is clearly specified that we do not have one (at the time of my reply) Maybe did you notice at the last moment, that you have chosen an economy room with shared bathroom instead of one with a private bathroom, or one of our self-catering apartments? And for this reason you have tried, to no avail, also to ask for a refund to expedia which, rightly, was not granted to you. I waited to answer you because before I preferred to write to you to see if you had noticed the mistake, but I see that you are not interested to take care of the thing well. Reading the experiences of other guests, whoever sees your experience will understand your mistake. regards Lorenzo

Bare bones but amazing location
As far as location goes, this place is amazing!! A ten-minute or less walk to the train station and right in the heart of a great neighborhood with endless restaurants and shops. A 7-10 minute walk to the Duomo and Accademia. BUT, this is bare bones accommodation. We had a double room with a shared bathroom. It’s a good place to sleep and that’s it. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep, this is absolutely fine and the location really is the attraction here. The host was kind and friendly but only on site a few hours a day. It was clean and worth it for the price.

Great location
It was clean, comfortable bed, nicely updated floors, furnishings, and bathroom fixtures. Excellent location!! Appreciated attempt to respond to concerns we raised about lighting, however, this was not really resolved. Extremely poor lighting in both the room snd the bathroom. The shower also had no place for soap or shampoo, and shower temperature was only lukewarm. All of these things could be easily remedied. When traveling, it is the seemingly little things that actually have a big impact. We didn't feel this was worth the price we paid. Not a good value.

dear John and Donna, many thanks for choosing us: I have to make some clarifications: we are open since 1951, continuously (although I have been there since 1979, since I was born) and no one has ever told us that the room where you slept was dark: even if it is the smallest and cheapest we have, it is certainly among the brightest, and it is on the top floor; everything can change, people, furniture, habits and customs, of course and we certainly do not pretend to be perfect: sometimes there may problems (the building is from the 17th century!); But you should also have written that you were allowed to do, free of charge, the check in beyond the times allowed by your booking; I went out of work for you, for free: for this purpose we have the self check in, but I prefer to always give in person, when possible, the best welcome to our guests, as you know: we like to dedicate ourselves to the guests, and this is the thing that distinguishes us from the others, since 1951 In the details of the accommodation that you have booked there is clearly written that there is no elevator: you could write that instead you have found it and you have used it, all for free Thank you for the time You have spent writing your advice:got it regards Lorenzo

It close to many activities/things to do. Owner/Management was accommodating. Property, however, was small, and felt gloomy. Many places are small but compared to other places we have been at throughout our two weeks, this was our least favorite. The price was reasonable but I would pay More to stay at a more welcoming location (room). If the room feel/look is not a factor for you, this place is perfect. Otherwise pay more for a better place. Hope this helps.

Small shower ever
The room was big & clean but the shower was so small although we managed but the worse part is that you need to bring all your toiletries not even one small soap. We had an incident were we drop a bottle of water and we used the towel to dry the floor and they didn't gave us clean ones. When we got to the room they were hanging to dry, regardless to say we had to share.

dear Betty I'm sorry if you're left without soap, but we always leave it, maybe you did not throw it away when you finished it, the maid confused it thinking you still had it and it did not replace it The towels from the ground: we never collect them, if you needed a new one, you could ask for it every time you met me, without problems, there is no extra cost. hope to host you another time I thank you for the stay, but I was in you, I would have also written that you could use the elevator when it is not present in our services, as you know. maybe you forgot it, that's all, but it's important to write everything, both when you find something unpleasant and when you find a pleasant extra

The hotel refuse to let us check in
We arrived the hotel late at 9:30pm. Since this is not hotel, we called the contact number. The lady told us that we are late to check in, we can not check in this hotel. We ask if we can go to some where to get key since it is late. The lady refuse to let us check in and tell us she will need to call police. This is first time I booked the house that can not check in !!!. I also booked the other house The house will send email early to ask what is check in time.

Dear Sir/Madam Hong Liu and Jue Tao; Dear customer, I see that you don't write some details, I will try to add what you did not write our check in time, as you know, starts from 11,00 to 15,00 it means that if you arrive after these terms, you have to inform us, at least 1 day before; you can not have your check in when you want, I don't arrive in 5 minutes, I'm not always there, for this we send the codes. Youi made this booking on March, and we wrote to you immediately, the same day, to ask your bed's preference and time of arrival, this is a form that we are used to send to all of our guest In case of very late check in, if there is any possibility, for me, to come back in time, I always agree with the guests by sending codes that they can use for their late check in at any time , without any extra fees, as you know. That it is also true that we told you, by phone that I would be able to arrive in 30 minutes, so I did. You did not remember writing this And I met you just as you were entering another nearby accommodation facility: I came to you, and I asked you for confirmation if you had a reservation at Casa Billi, and you asked me who was Casa Billi We are one of the most Historical guest house in Florence, please visit Florence Historical business website; we're open since 1951: how we can keep open this guest house if would be true that we can't allow our customers's check in?

close to city center
Was a good place for the price and location. Basic accommodations with nothing extra, if you had more than one showering in the morning had to make it very fast as hot water doesn't last more than 10 minutes. We ended up just staggering showers one at night and one in the morning. Room can be loud at times TV in reception area was heard in room and some guests but nothing that we couldn't sleep through. Price is great when you are a 5 min walk to duomo. Very walkable and many great places to eat and snack around.
