We read a recommendation in Rick Steve's guide book and took 2 rooms here Sept 2011. What a bummer, from the 4 flights up steep, winding stairs to the surly desk clerk our troubles began. Mosquitos and traffic noise filled the room and the fan did not work. Broken light in the shower. Toilet was way down the hall past... More

Rooms are clean, albeit a bit dingy. We were in the michelangelo room with private bath. Toilet occassionally let sewer gas out, so a bit smelly at times. Rooms had AC and soundproofing windows. Meager breakfast, but passable. Don't take one of the 5 rooms that open to the dining area (rooms 1-5) or you will be woken at 7:30... More

We stayed here for 4 nights during our recent stay in Florence, this was the cheapest place we stayed at during our holiday in Italy and for good reason. It's hard to complain when you're only paying 65 a night for a double, but there are many things that need addressing in this place. The 'shared bathroom' contains one toilet,... More

This was a convienient and fun place to stay on our stop in Florence. We stayed in the blue, Michelangelo themed room and thought it was a wonderful experience. This is a very large room with it's own bathroom. It is worth the extra money. I liked the fact that we didn't have far to walk from the train station... More

We started and ended in Firenze our 3 weeks September/October round trip to Italy. Found Abaco hotel in our Top 10 Florence and Tuscany, Swedish ed. 2009. It said under Low cost findings "a real pearl between cathedral and the station". Indeed from the railway station it takes 10 minutes and to Duomo 5 minutes! We liked this little hotel... More

I traveled Italy for two weeks with my daughter who is 24. We experienced some poor quality hotels/hostiles. We were thrilled to find Hotel Abaco. The staff were great, room was clean, and the price was good/fair. Very safe area. We loved Florence. More

The people at Hotel Abaco are GREAT and very hospitable - the location is excellent, but the hotel is HORRIBLE. We stayed in two rooms - the first room had a shower but no toilet, we used the shared toilet at the end of the hall. The room walls are paper thin and we were right outside of the eating... More

I loved this quaint hotel. It was clean and the staff were the most friendly and helpful of any we encountered over the 3 weeks we were in Europe. The Asian woman at the desk helped us carry very heavy luggage up the countless steps. The woman who prepared our breakfast was a cheerful and accommodating person. We loved her... More

This was a great option for us, as it was near the very center of town, in close and convenient walking distance to all of the sites we wanted to see. The rooms were a bit small, but it helped that they had vaulted ceilings. They were charming though, and each were decorated after a famous Renaissance artist, which we... More
