Disappointing Stay – Outdated, Uncomfortable, and Poor Service
Hotel Bodoni is well-located within walking distance of Florence’s main sights, but that’s about the only highlight.
Reaching the fourth-floor hotel is a hassle due to a tiny, slow elevator that barely fits two people with luggage. Inside, we encountered a pest issue—mosquitoes and flies were present in the room and hallways, with bottles of bug spray left out, raising concerns about cleanliness.
The room was dated and poorly maintained. The bathroom had no shower barrier, leading to a soaked floor, low water pressure, and one night with barely any hot water. The toilet also leaked, making it feel unsanitary.
Service was fine initially but turned dismissive when we raised concerns. The outdated key system added to the frustration, with unclear instructions and a bulky metal key.
While breakfast was decent and the location central, the poor facilities, bugs, and service made for an uncomfortable stay. Look elsewhere unless you’re on a very tight budget.
