Small pension in a very good location. Each room decorated with different artists team, nice! Very helpful staff. The only minus was a steep staircase to the entrance.
Small, quaint room. Private bathroom, not en-suite, just off of the breakfast area, which was a bit awkward. No elevator FYI. Otherwise a delightful stay!
The staff was very helpful and helped us with a little problem we had with our booking. The room was very clean and so comfy. The breakfast was really good. We will try to come back 😁
Awful, terrible bed. Cannot overstate this enough. Location was great though, so if you like being close to things and don't intend on sleeping or you're making a booking on behalf of someone you don't like, this is the place for you.

Great location, workers were very nice. RV size wet bathroom, tablecloth thick towels. No elevator so you had to walk up a few flights of stairs and down. Our room opened up into the middle of the dining area which could be awkward in the morning when we left.
Hotel Abaco is quirky, charming and authentic. It was very convenient for us to walk around Florence, and is very close to lots of restaurants, cafes, museums, and wonderful small shops. In fact, for a busy few days as a tourist in Florence it could not be better. OK - it's old, and you have to climb 55 stone stairs to it (it's on the 2nd floor) but it would not be authentic otherwise. La Signora who runs it was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed visiting!

Our experience in Florence
Fantastic location, breakfast small but goid, very old city location so rooms small especially bathroom, got noidy esrly in thr morning as breakfast area right outside our room. Overal would recommend if looking at convenient location? As a disabled person whivh it had been made clear how many glights of stairs to climb to reach hotel. Very eadyvto walk to from main station.
A lovely place to stay, close to everything in a lovely old building. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The children in particular LOVED the breakfast ( especially the Nutella). Grazie mille! We would love to go back.
Surprised that Expedia had a “good” rating for this hotel, which is not justified. I have trust deficit with Expedia’s rating after my experience at this property.
The property is old and has no lift. Guests have to carry their luggage up two floors, and there was no warning given for this by Expedia in its description of the property.
Customer service was very poor. We had breakfast with our booking, but there was no place to sit and eat - hence had no breakfast. Also staff refused to provide hot water requested for tea before breakfast was open to be served.
Uncomfortable and vey small toilet space - again something not highlighted by Expedia.
I would rate the property as a hostel for students - not a hotel.
The owner was very nice and accommodating. They let us keep our bags there before and after checkout. The room was cute and perfect for two people. We had our own bathroom.
We enjoyed being in the centre of Florence and when we stepped out of the hotel, we could see the Duomo. We liked staying in a period hotel. There are a lot of steps but that didn't bother us. Please note the hotel is within the restricted traffic zone so if arriving by car, park for 1 hour in the parking opposite the bus station which costs E4 and walk to the hotel (under 10 mins) to offload luggage, then go and repark outside the city. The nearest unlimited parking was 2.5 miles away in the Bobbini area. Probably best to use public transport.
It was very clean and the staff are super friendly. The room is a typical small European room. Only a 2 minute walk to Duomo. There isn’t any parking. But they have a valet service that will pick up and drop off your car for € 25 a day. We walked to everything from this hotel. It is in a super convenient location!!
Great service and close to everything. We had a late arrival after the front desk would be closed, due to our flight being delayed, I called to let them know and they were very accommodating to leave the key with the neighbouring hotel. The street in front is very busy and noisy and there is single glazed windows so bring ear plugs. Room as described. Clean. Adorable historic decor
This was a cute hotel, and that is why I picked it. Very close to train station and in the middle of everything you want to be near. I didn’t know (and was shocked) that it is on the 3rd floor of a very large building. You have to walk up 7 half flights of stairs. It’s a lot of work. However, it seems all of the hotels are that way. There is no elevator so if you need one, look for a larger hotel that has one. One bed was very comfy and one bed consisted of 2 cots and was difficult to sleep in. It’s hit or miss. Very cute rooms, fun bathrooms, AC that works, WiFi, great view. If you don’t want to be up for breakfast (crossaints) 8-10am, tell them or some lady will knock on your door to wake you up. No cappuccino after 9:30. Owner (very nice man) allowed us to check in hours early which was very helpful. You will have a wonderful stay if you accept your breakfast.
