Everything was great especially with Sherry and the other young lady at breakfast. But the elevator being broken didn’t help my 82-yr old father when going up to the 2nd floor.

A beautiful historic building transferred into a small hotel, where the staff are personable and facilities, while a bit different are wonderful to be part of in this city. The hotel manager, Medi was exceptional, friendly and knowledgeable - a rare find in a bustling city

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel La Scala was absolutely perfect! The room was great - the fresco on the ceiling was stunning and such a beautiful reminder of the historic building in comparison to the modern facilities. It was so clean, the bed was comfortable and the air con was so great to have. We had a garden facing room and so there was no noise from the outside whatsoever, but being an old building the walls are fairly thin so something to bear in mind, but I couldn’t fault the room or facilites at all. The staff were all SO NICE, really helpful, very welcoming and more than happy to give recommendations of places to see which was so great! Honestly the sweetest group of people and really make you feel at home. Breakfast was a bit of a worry for me given that it is around a long communal table, but with the time slots in a three/four hour window, we hardly saw any other guests. We’re not massive eaters in the morning so we just went for fruit, croissants and coffee which was ideal for us and it was a really nice touch to have it all included! They have a really good selection of things to choose from though, which you can select using a form the night before. The location is amazing also - only a five minute walk from the train station, and within walking distance to everything you’d want to see in the city. Overall, value for money is excellent, the hotel was lovely and we had the best time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hotel La Scala to anyone travelling to Florence!

Liked: Walkable to main tourist areas. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Clean. Air conditioner worked well enough. Didn't like: the windows in the room didn't close properly allowing all street noise to come through throughout the night... Even with earplugs it was loud and I couldn't sleep till 2am. Also the city tax was only payable by cash.. Not card.

Noise at night from the outside, a bit like a lift motor or refrigerator which continued for 5 or 10 mins 2 or 3 times per night.

Love the location which is 5 min walk from the train station and 20 min walk to touristy areas. I love the receptionist( Madina) she was supper nice and helpful we wanted to go to mall and she showed me where to book the tickets and she always had a smile on her face. the breakfast was ok even it was prepared to each individual it was too many missed communication, one time they forgot to give us the paper for us to fill and the guy who has mustache working in the kitchen was giving us attitude when I was asking him how the breakfast works here. The way he acted was definitely not nice. And the second day for breakfast the lady didn’t have our paper so we had to tell her what we want. The room was clean and spacious. I like that you can book reservations for the busy famous restaurant downstairs ( Osteria pastella)easily with help of the receptionist. We had 2 dinners there since the pasta was so fresh.

Not a good place
The Bed & Breakfast is in a busy street and in a 3rd floor. It has a very small and slow elevator. The entrance of the building has a very bad smell. Before our arrival , I received an email requesting to upload our passports and I did, At our arrival, we were asked for our passports to take pictures of them. When I told the woman at the reception that I already sent them, she answered in a non friendly way. The beds were uncomfortable and the pillows awful. The bathroom had mold in the shower. Breakfast was good with plenty of selections and we had Andrea preparing it for us. Btw, he along with breakfast is the best of this B&B. He was so polite and friendly and my family and I shared a nice conversation. I don’t recommend this place

The Hotel was a different experience from a USA hotel, somewhat. It was in what appeared to be an old resident building. Two floors (3rd & 4th) were individual hotels. 2nd floor appeared to be a professional business office. A bit unique but nice. We enjoyed our stay and the staff were very helpful & friendly. The owner of the property also operated a very good restaurant named Osteria La Scala…make reservation if you want to go…
