Wonderful stay in Florence
Lovely place to stay with great service. We arrived by car, and Sofia prearranged our garage entrance and also called an hour ahead so the car was ready for us. Sofia also helped us make a reservation to a restaurant that was fully booked. The room was beautiful and comfortable and clean. Breakfast at a cafe downstairs was also really good with eggs/bacon options. The location was great, we did not hear the club downstairs, as mentioned by other reviews.

The property was absolutely lovely! The rooms are appointed with modern, high end finishes and felt very fancy. The staff was amazing and helpful, and the included breakfast was wonderful. It's super convenient to all the attractions and easy to get in and out. That being said, it is neighbors with a nightclub and the music can be heard in the rooms until late at night. We were able to sleep through it, but some might struggle. Also, the room was fairly small, although lovely. And the bathroom was high end, but very, very dark. Shower was great, but almost impossible to put on makeup!

Beautiful boutique in in great location.
Benci House is a small boutique inn with only four rooms. Rooms are very modern with high end furnishings. Maria, the inn manager is very service oriented. The inn has a balcony where you can have cocktails at night (BYOB). The location is also ideal near Santa Croce.

2/10 Poor

Disappointed by the service
Booked for 2 nights. Stayed for 1. They moved us the second day to another hotel. They told us that is even better, but was a fraud. I imagine they overbooked (in Italy they do this often). When moved to the other hotel, i called them to ask for another hotel. The answer I got was disappointing: "sorry there is nothing we can do..." They didi not give us the room I had booked, but passed us from 2 other rooms first. I had to fight to get the room I had booked. After they moved us to the other hotel, and their indifference, i got ungry, and all they had to say was that I could not behave! (That was their trick to avoid their responsibilities)

Great spot near everything!
Great location and it looks just like the photos! Our room smelled like smoke so that was the only downfall. Staff super friendly and it was very quiet (yay!). Only 4 rooms which was really nice! Would stay again.

Stayed at Benci for 2 nights.Room was very cozy,clean,nicely decorated with a very comfortable bed.It is well located in the city center close to everything, from shopping areas,restaurants to main squares and attractions.Parking is difficult to find in the area and you will have to pay a range of 20 to 35 euros per day.Sofia the owner has a contract with a local guy who comes and pick your car up upon request and brings it back when asked.That was very convenient for us although a bit expensive(35 euros/day).Breakfast which was served in the cafeteria downstairs was quite decent.We would definitely stay there again!
