The location is fantastic! Very quick and easy check in, the room was spacious and beautiful with high ceilings. Good noise isolation and A/C! The only small downside was that the bed was hard and uncomfortable. Otherwise we loved our stay!
What a great location for visiting the heart of Florence! Our room was facing the street as in the photo and was great for people watching. The only problem, even though the windows filter out a lot of the noise is that there is a lot of action outside until late in the evening. Bring earplugs and you will not have a problem.
The best part was being so centrally located. It was easy to walk to all the important places, come back to the room to re-group and then head out again.

The staff was very responsive to my concerns and made checking in easy. That said, the "continental breakfast" is just prepackaged muffins and a mini box of corn flakes. Also, this was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on. The mattress is two twin beds pushed together to create a queen, leaving an uncomfortable divot in the middle. The mattresses are also rock hard.
It's a good location close to he Duomo and plenty of shopping and dining. Very walkable and friendly service.
Awesome location right next to Duomo and the Piazza with many food options. Many of your must see tours are an easy walk (10-15 minutes) from this Hotel. I guess that is what you are paying for. It is way overpriced for what you get at the hotel itself.
The included breakfast is prepackaged stuff that i found to be not edible, except for the yogurt.
As it turns out, the Ambulance parking is right at the plaza itself and that creates a problem for light sleepers like me.
Overall, based on pics,reviews and cost, I expected more; but you can not beat the location

Overall 3/5 for us because of the hard-as-floor bed and pillows. Even when we asked for softer ones, the owner gave us the same pillows again. We've never slept worse.
Additionally, while everything is very near, please be aware that the building is old and you'll be hearing the guest in the house next to this (we had party people every night), as well as the balcony from the building on the other side (we had a bachelorette party/karaoke). It was horrible, tiring and overall not worth being located in the historical city.
The breakfast is disappointing as well. No fresh bread, just some factory made biscuits and croissants as a substitute. The yoghurt, milk and usual spreads are nice. It can't be that expensive to offer fresh bread, can it?
The cleaning lady is amazing though! Our room was perfectly clean.
We loved our stay at La Residenza del Proconsolo. Adriana was super hospitable and made the check in/out process a breeze. The location cannot be beat, the room was great, and the continental breakfast provided in-room was better than expected.
The location is perfect right by the duomo yet quiet at night. the room was large and had a terrific AC. the hotel owner was very nice and stocked the fridge with juice and pastries for each day. the wifi was perfect. just loved everything about this place. will definitely stay here again.
The "hotel" is in a great location and is extremely central. It's more of a B&B (really just a room) but it suited our needs fine. The air conditioning worked great (the top priority for us in July!). We were expecting more than a single croissant in the room as part of the inclusive breakfast but as it's mostly just a room you're paying for (no real services or amenities available) it was just a case of adjusting our expectations. There are obviously plenty of cafes/restaurants nearby if you wanted some more substantial breakfast food. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would probably book again if we were in Florence.
We were requested to let the hotel know of our arrival time and asked would someone help with or luggage. We did not receive any response. We were told that the hotel office would be manned till 8:00pm. We arrived at 5:30pm and the desk was unattended.
No wifi password was provided
Only one bath towel was provided for 2 persons. Had to use a hand towel.
Bathroom is incredibly narrow with very slippery bath shower and glazed floor tile, also bath had unacceptable amount of mould.
Fridge not cold the type you can not regulate.
Breakfast continental wasn’t anything great.
Bra läge för sightseeing i Florens men där tar det stopp. Lång trappa upp till rummen, personal endast vi in/utcheckning. Frukosten fanns på rummet, skorpor, yougurt, kaffe, juice och förpackade muffins. Hela rummet och sängen lutade, stenhård kudde och madrass. Plus för stor dusch.
Grande chambre propre. Le lit était très dur. Hôtel bien situé à promimité des principwles attractions et à 10 minutes de marche de la gare de train ou du tramway pour l'aéroport. Petit déjeuner dans la chambre très limité et peu interessant.
