The noise was unbearable as the kitchen is above (we were on the 4th floor - #414) and there was cleaning, banging, pots and pans clanging, dropping things, and chairs scraping over our heads until well after midnight. This was a regular night! The walls / floors / ceiling were so thin that it sounded like the kitchen crew and neighbors coughing were in my room. It sounded like construction going on. This was the loudest hotel I have ever been in, and I’ve stayed in hostels, cheap hotels, fancy hotels. There was also an event going on next door at the church, with bottles and equipment being loaded on to trucks until 2am right outside my window. Windows are old and need to be double paned like most hotels of this price. Some mold in the shower although not severe. The staff were lovely and helped to refund the next two nights we reserved as we had to switch to a quieter hotel, which was expensive as there wasn’t much available on short notice. The owner did not refund the night where I got about 3-4 hours sleep. On the good side, the hotel has a wonderful view from the common lounge and dining room, the decor is beautiful, and we enjoyed having a drink in the lounge and watching the sunset over the river. Breakfast was very good. Steps from the Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio. If you stay here, only stay on floors 2 or 3, not 4. Request a room that does not face the church courtyard, which also had drunk men yelling until midnight. I personally will not stay again.
