Soggiorno Battistero in Florence

5 Starts for View, 2 Stars for Hotel
I will admit that I am sort of a “hotel snob” and judge hotels at a high standard, so here’s an honest review with the pro’s and con’s:
PRO’s: the view’s of the square are AMAZING. The balcony view is great. Also, just about everything you need and want is minutes away. We were able to walk to museum’s, squares, shopping, etc. within literal minutes.
CON’s: The room is NOT up to my standards. Yes, the building is hundreds of years old, but the bedding was old and had multiple stains all over it, including the couch. There were hairs (yes, medium size black and gray hairs; and my whole family has blonde hair so it wasn’t ours) in all four beds. There was an alive silverfish bug in my daughter’s bed. And the breakfast was okay, but more like a Best Western and not the breakfast shown or described (it was cereal, yogurt, muffins and fruit. The cappuccino machine was cool though). Lastly, this is out of the hotels control, but because of the “night life” on the square, you can hear people drinking and laughing until about two in the morning. Again, I’m not docking that on the hotel because it’s not their fault, but you should be aware.
I’m giving 5 stars for the location, and 2 stars for the hotel itself (so we’ll say a total of 3 stars).
Just a fully honest review.
Would I stay again? My wife says “no”, but my kids said “yes” (daughter doesn’t know about the silverfish) :-)
