From: JD, Canada
Date of Stay: July, 2008
3rd time in Florence. First long stay. Good hotel, priced at market rates, a little bit out of the center on a quiet street. 30 minutes walk from the train station. 10 minutes to Duomo. Decent breakfast;scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, croissant, buns, cereal,fruits. Good restaurants, close: Giostra, Natalino. Room was just a little bit humid. Not a big problem.

Good location (5 minute walk form the centre). The room was quite nice, clean and staff polite and very helpful. Good calue for money

Date of Stay: December, 2007
The interior of rooms are a few years past a redo. We were there 10 years ago and I don't think the carpet or bed spreads or bathrooms have been redone. It's starting to look a little seedy. Broken armoir, split wood in bathroom. Isn't it possible to get an American tv network - not news? Staff is great. Breakfast good.

Spacious rooms, big flatscreen TV, right in the heart of Firenze, but with impossible room doors and keys, small breakfast room, bathroom with only dimmed lights

My husband and I traveled to Florence and stayed at the J & J Hotel on our honeymoon. The rooms were traditionally decorated - simple, Tuscan style. The common areas were very cozy. A nice variety of food was available for breakfast. The staff was very accommodating and helpful and the hotel was in a residential area of the city without being too far away from the main attractions. We would definitely revisit the J & J Hotel!

Parking very pricey. Limited information about what is going on in Florence and surrounding areas. Great, large rooms, the only drawback was the air conditioning system that is noisy, but you can turn it off at night after chilling the room during the day.
 
From: Debra Quesenberry, USA
Date of Stay: May, 2007
the room we got #13 was so small we could not even open up a suitcase unless it was on the bed. the shower sprayed water everywhere. it did have a nice patio with unbrella table but no chairs. the other room our party had #12 was larger but there room smelled like mold because the shower was not sealed at all and all the water ran out into the bedroom on to the rugs. they did remove the rugs after asking them to. it was quite a hike to florence and it was in a scary part of town for women alone. i can't believe this is a 4 star hotel. the staff was great with the exception of one young lady working at the front desk the day we left.

For the price this was an excellent 4* hotel. Our room was very large and quiet with its own stone staircase from the hall. We had a modern, large shower/toilet and the bedroom had a large bath which was separated from the main room by a low wall. The hotel was in a narrow street with no shops or other hotels so it was quiet but it was only about 4 minutes walk from the Duomo and 2-4 minutes from the busiest parts of Santa Croce. Friendly staff. Breakfast was good. We would stay here again.
 
From: Nathalie Lefevre, Belgium
Date of Stay: June, 2006
Many thanks for the great help provided by the employees to find a garage to repair our car. Very helpful. The pictures on the web only show the most spacious and beautiful rooms. So you don't have any idea about the look of the "standard" room and it comes a bit as a surprise.
 
From: Veronica Vega Torrecilla, Spain
Date of Stay: June, 2006
Amazing place, charming. Strongly recommended
 
From: WF, USA
Date of Stay: March, 2006
we had a wonderful stay. great location walking distance to everything but far enough away to be out of the main flow. I will recommend to anyone who asks.
 
From: Aya Daito, Japan
Date of Stay: September, 2005
This hotel was cozy, with both antique and modern atmosphere. I liked the Etro's fabrics as well. If you don't like hotels busy dealing with groups of tourists, this hotel certainly is the place to go.
 
From: ER, USA
Date of Stay: September, 2005
Staff was excellent. Room on our first visit Sept. 16-17, was very large but could use updating. On our second stay the space was very tight particularly in the bathroom i.e. no place to put toiletrie cases and no soap/shampoo holder in the shower.
 
From: Daryl Martens, USA
Date of Stay: September, 2005
Also on this vacation we stayed in Rome at the Marriot Grand Flora (and I'm a Marriott Platinum Member), and in Venice at the Hotel Carlton Grand Canal and by far the Hotel J&J was the best of all of these hotels. The property was the best (quite location off the beaten path), the rooms were the best (size, funishings, best AC) and the staff was the most helpfull. Thanks for a wonderful stay in Florence!!!
 
From: Edward Saltzberg, USA
Date of Stay: March, 2005
Staff was extremely attentive and helpful. There is nothing to complain about. We had a great time in a terrific hotel.
 
From: PL, Sweden
Date of Stay: November, 2004
Not satisfied! We are very disapointed, 4 stars and high price. Cold room. Breakfast was the the poorest we ever had! We have been in Florence many times and this hotel was not worth the price!
 
From: Paul McConnaughey, USA
Date of Stay: May, 2004
Florence is expensive; but, if you want to stay at a first class facility, the J and J is excellent. It's within walking distance of everything, quiet, and very quaint.
 
From: DM, USA
Date of Stay: April, 2004
We had a very pleasant stay at the J&J Hotel and would stay at the hotel again. The hotel is in a good location (and on a quiet street). The room was clean and large. The staff at the hotel was very professional, friendly and helpful.
