This was our second stay at the same hotel after a long time. We chose it again because of its central location and being close to the central train station (about a 15 min walk). The Duomo is a few minutes away. The reception was very welcoming and let us keep our luggages as our room was being prepared because we arrived early. The room we got was spacious (family room) with an en-suite shower. The toilet was a shared one. All in all it was clean and well-maintained. The building is 500 years old and it is a very different experience overall to stay in it.
The only downside I could say is the noise from the street during night time, I wasn’t able to sleep well because of it. The street seemed quiet so maybe there is a bar/pub nearby. Thanks to Leonardo and the staff who keep this place running.

My stay at the a hotel Hiberia was absolutely fantastic. The staff, the hotel room and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the Hiberia as a central hotel location if you are visiting central Rome. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

excellent
my parents had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Florence, just steps away from the Duomo — the location couldn’t be better! The rooms are surprisingly spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile. And the cappuccino at breakfast was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Firenze.

Such a cute hotel. Literally in the middle of EVERYTHING. You can walk out, make a right and the Milkeria is right there which was one of our favorite spots for espresso and crepes.
The shower got hot and cold a few times but it was fine. The only thing I wish the coffee machine to be available for longer hours. It’s only available from 8-11
It is a shared bathroom which wasn’t really an issue but it was always clean.
Definitely would come back again. It’s nothing fancy. Definitely old fashioned but the location is great.
Staff is friendly too

Nice hotel, with a few small drawbacks
Lovely hotel, in a good location. Only one bathroom on the floor i was on which made things awkward at times. There was often a loud noise from a boiler or something that was one room away from mine that woke me up during the night several times, but otherwise a good experience.

Given that this was hostel-type accommodation with shared bathrooms and no breakfast, it was comfortable, clean, the room was excellent, and the location in central Florence was ideal.

The shared bathroom was really nice and clean. Loved the area and antiquity of the building, but it can get very loud at night due to the building’s location.

Two negative points were the amount of stairs, hotel situated on 3rd floor with no lift and the bathroom was shared.
However, the building is 500 yrs old and interior is beautiful. Staff very friendly and informative. As a solo female traveler I wanted to be in the city centre so the negatives were a trade off for safety and proximity to the city. I would defiantly stay again but maybe bring a smaller case :)

Good value and pleasant stay in heart of Firenze
Hotel is clean and well maintained
The room was orderly and functional.
Location is a plus for me
In Europe 2nd floor really means 4 flights of stairs so be prepared to pull your luggage quite a ways.

We traveled as a family with our 2 teenage boys during Christmas. The location was great, just 2 mins from Duomo and right in the heart of many shops and restaurants. The checkin was smooth and great communication through whatsapp. We booked the quadruple room and it was quite spacious with a queenbed and 2 twin beds. The building is a 16th century building and it felt great to see the character in the room with 20ft ceilings, old paintings etc. there is no elevator which was not a big issue for us even with luggage but something to think about. The room cleaning was done everyday, wifi was super fast. There is also no ironbox but you can get one from reception on request. There are many pastry and gelato shops within quick walking distance and several great places for lunch and dinner.
The bathroom was new and renovated and was modern however rooms maintain their old 16th century charm - they are however clean and comfy and we had no issues.
All in all, a great stay.
