Guest House Morandi

LikedDecent location, nice to have breakfast.

LikedThe location was perfect and the hotel is lovely, comfortable and very peaceful. The staff are excellent and very helpful.

LikedWe got exceptionally thoughtful help when the desk clerk arranged for us to get a generous breakfast early so we could catch a taxi to the airport. Also, our room was fantastic, with a fresco on the ceiling and in alcoves on walks. The extra space in our entryway with a sofa gave us a comfy place to relax. The sitting areas on first and second floors looked inviting and would have lured us to linger if we’d bern staying longer. The location was especially convenient.

DislikedCan’t think of a thing!

LikedWe had a double room on the ground floor and it was very spacious, including the bathroom and shower. (There was finally room to move, as compared to other hotels we've stayed in during our trip). The room was clean, the bed was large with a firm mattress. We were able to adjust the temperature in the room with the thermostat, which was much appreciated. (This is another thing we were not able to do in other hotels we stayed at.) We also had a small private patio, but we never used it (rainy during much of our stay). Another plus - there was an extra set of pillows in the wardrobe in our room. The location of the hotel is very reasonable - close to many sights, but not too busy or noisy. We walked everywhere we went, including to/from the train station (about 20 min) with our bags. Duomo is about 10 min, David is about 7 min, Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio are a little farther away, but walkable. The hotel itself is on a fairly quiet street - there's not a lot of action right there. Breakfast was included, and we felt it was a nice selection of items. Appreciated the fresh fruit options. I initially booked a 3-night stay here, and subsequently needed to add on 2 more nights. The hotel (Roland) was able to do that for me, even though it appeared on Booking.com that they did not have availability for the additional nights.

DislikedA minor issue, but some of the pictures on the website didn't seem to match what we saw in person, so my expectations were a little thrown off. I had trouble using a hairdryer in the bathroom (both the hotel's provided hairdryer in the bathroom and the dual voltage one I brought myself with an adapter). This was an issue in many of the hotels I stayed in (not just Hotel Morandi) - I believe it has to do with wiring codes for bathrooms. I could get the hairdryer to work in the bedroom, but there wasn't a mirror handy. When I asked the staff about this, Cristiano quickly solved the problem by getting me a stand along mirror, which was very appreciated.

LikedLocation was good

DislikedBathroom was very small, no buffet breakfast, breakfast served by indifferent staff who could not remember our order
