Great, central location.
Very basic.

The location is perfect. There’s a lot of shops that surrounds it. The room is squeaky clean.
•The property doesn’t have a lift. Our room is on the 3rd floor, imagine carrying suitcase and bags going up..
• They don’t have lights in corridors going to the stairway and stairs is very dark, you will be needing your phone flashlight whenever you go out.
• The kitchen is messy (probably it’s because of the previous guests mess) and fridge is old and has some molds. (But we didn’t use those so not a problem for us honestly)

The location was awesome - directly across from the Medici Chapel & Crypts. We awoke to the sound of church bells ringing. We had a triple room with beds for four. The queen bed was in a loft. I liked the steep tight wooden stair case up to the room. The bed was comfortable, views from the window were great. There was also a common area with a kitchen and amenities we didn't use.
There was nothing we didn't like, but it was a bit difficult to find. If you decide to choose this accommodation be sure to look at the BRASS WALL PLAQUE that says EMWRALD PALACE - otherwise you may have difficulty finding it.

Affordable (for Florence) female only room with a beautiful view of San Lorenzo, very clean, amazing balcony area with seating, and very kind and accessible English-speaking staff at all hours! I arrived very late to check in at 2am after travel difficulties and staff was super helpful and kind. I was up early and back late every day I was there, so can’t speak to social life, but it seems more quiet than a typical ‘party hostel’, which was perfect for me.
Keep in mind that the towels are for rent (2 euro each) and there are no curtains around beds, but this wasn’t a big issue personally since it was a female only room. One of the bathrooms outside the room had a broken flush that would leak out, but there was a sign warning and I had another bathroom available in the room where everything was great.
