It was 75 plus stairs to the office and I am 76 years old. I just about died carrying my luggage up the stairs.

8/10 Very Good

This was a fine, functional, adequate, clean facility, quite walkable from the train station and quite walkable to all of the city-center museums, galleries, etc. Excellent location. Beware, though, there is no elevator and the hotel is up a lot of windy twisty stairs! Do not select this hotel if you have mobility issues. Otherwise, it was a fine option.

8/10 Very Good

Very clean and modern rooms - super close to great restaurants, coffee shops and steps from Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the train station! We loved our stay here and would definitely stay here again next time we are in Florence! The staff is super friendly, helpful and approachable which was great. Only negative about this hotel is the number of steps - I think my wife counted around 70 to 74 steps to get to the hotel floor. There are no elevators unfortunately - no biggie if you are young like us and pack light but might be tough for older individuals with kids and/or heavy luggage.

It was an amazingly great location, but I’m too old and fat for no elevator. It was located so perfectly, we would still stay here when back in Florence.

BEWARE: you need to climb 78 steps of stairs to get to the hotel. If you have big luggage, take that into consideration. The room is as pictured or maybe slightly better. It comes with a mini fridge, and they even gave me a bottle of water to start my stay. I had a room with a private bathroom, but my private bathroom is a few doors down, so it is not as convenient. You need to pay for city tax in cash as well. Other than that, I have no complaints.

It’s worth the rate and the hotel staff, Cristina was very nice and helpful. I stayed in room 9 which has a very nice view of the Duomo. I like that the room also got a fridge which is quite convenient for summer and that the time I stayed at the hotel.

Amazing location for great price!
Perfect location right next to the Duomo, very close to train station, short walk to see the Uffizi and Accademia galleries. Amazing breakfast 2 minutes away at Cafe 50 Rosso. Note that you will need to climb 2 flights of stairs with no elevator to get to your room, and rooms had private shower but shared toilet in a bathroom down the hall. These weren't issues for me, and all facilities were very clean and worked perfectly (wifi included)! I would choose Hotel Giappone again if I go back to Florence.

Great location—central to everything!! Had asked for a quiet room; got one right at the entrance and check-in counter! Some guests were coming and going at all times of the night and slamming doors as they did so!!

It was a place to put my bag while I went sight seeing. The bed was uncomfortable. Service was nice I got confused with the language barrier. I'd stay there again as it's in a good location.

Cute hotel in great location
Hotel is in a great location, very close to train station and St.Mark's basilica. Mgr/owner is very nice to deal with. Hotel is old but cozy. Hotel is on top floor and must be ready to haul suitcase since there is no elevator.

4/10 Fair

There may be better rooms and conditions but I was allocated what looked like a staff over-night room. It was too small to turn round in. The bed was tiny and sloped to the side. There was barely room to put a bag down. No connected bathroom, the toilet and showers were at the far end of the establushment. It was also at the top of 100 or so stairs which was a little demanding on my knees. That said, the location was excellent and I really enjoyed the rest of my three days in Florence.

My stay at Hotel Giappone was just what I needed - the location in Florence can’t be beat. Yes, there is no elevator, and it’s not the flashiest of accommodations, but if you’re looking for a clean, budget-friendly place to stay, I recommend. The service was excellent - they waited for my late arrival and came after-hours to help me when I couldn’t open the outside door. Only issue was the WiFi could be a bit spotty.

Building needs TLC,stiff stairs all the way to the 3rd floor but is on a great location and the room was clean. Not bad at all for the price ($66 per night)
