J AND J HOTEL

Just left this lovely hotel. My wife and I have been to Florence 4 times before this visit but never stayed here. When we were meandering around Florence on foot our last trip in we came across the J&J and stepped in to look. We both decided this was where we were staying our next trip in and I'm glad we stayed. We had a top floor suite with balcony which was very spacious and clean. The a/c worked well. Daily housekeeping was perfect. Breakfast was included and more than generous. Front desk staff friendly and always there to help.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, it was in a lovely quiet street so no trouble sleeping. A hotel with character, our room was lovely and roomy with an excellent bathroom. Staff were very pleasant and the breakast was good. Would recommend it if you are looking for a slightly different place to stay.

We recently spent 5 nights at the J&J and it suited us well as we much prefer to stay in a quiet, peaceful hotel. The beds were very comfortable, the linen and towels changed regularly, the bathroom was splended. We were in Florence in 30c degrees but the aircon cooled our room comfortably though it wasn't always necessary to have it on as the thick walls and high ceilings of the building kept the temperature down anyway.We loved the layout of the hotel which gave the rooms a private and secluded feel, there's also a little private outside area accessed from our ground floor room but the man eating mosquitoes made being outside a bit risky it still gave an airy feel to the room. Noise from other quests was at a minimum due to the way the rooms are situated.After walking around Florence it was a cool, quiet place to escape to.Breakfast was adequate: coffee excellent, but a limited selection otherwise. Slightly surprising given the wonderful fruit that Italy produces,was the bowl of tinned fruit cocktail, though there were fresh slices of fresh melon and a fruit to slice and peel yourself,bread rolls ham and cheese,and small cakes, scrambled egg so it was ok and there are plenty of delicious places for lunch a short walk away. It seems Italy is not big on breakfast anyway.Staff were pleasant but unobtrusive.We would stay there again.

Old world charm, set in the cobble stoned streets of Florence. The thought of once a monastery , gives it a nosatalgic feel .The rooms are set away from each other down long hallways or up staircases. Very private. Very close to the Duome, shopping and quaint shops.

The hotel is a converted convent and suitably quirky, for instance our bathroom was down a small fight of stairs. We loved it where as some reviewers hated it. If you like a friendly clean hotel with good staff and are not concerned about facilities such as gyms etc I would recommend it. Breakfast is a basic but pleasant continental style served in a lovely room with vaulted ceilings with an option to eat outside in a courtyard. The hotel is a short walk from the main sights and in an area with some very nice restaurants. The street it is on is narrow but seemed safe, once you got used to cyclists and the electric taxis creeping up on you!
