The front desk staff were friendly and helpful with guidance. Being able to stow our luggage was a big help for our last day.
The only changes I would suggest are,
Have a light handy for the stairs at night.
A fan to move the air better in the loft area.(from some one used to sleeping with a fan)

I was shocked the minute I entered the room, the room is really small and outdated .. it is really highly priced for it’s condition, the fan grill in the washroom was super disgusting the towel dryer was rusted , outlets were loose so you had to actually support the sockets to keep charging…

Our stay at the hotel was very nice. We had a quadruple room and it was large and comfortable. The hotel is close to the train station which is nice if you are traveling by train. The hotel is located a few blocks away from the extremely touristic areas of town, which was nice. However, there are several restaurants and shops close by. I would definitely stay there again

This property was very nice. Great location to walk to every tourist attraction except for Vatican City. The rooms were a bit small, but they were accommodating and gave our family of 4 (4 adults) 2 separate rooms.

Hotel is a good value for the money. It is spacious, safe and comfortable. It is about a 10 minute walk from the train station and a 10-20 minute walk to most of the major sites in Florence. The Hotel St. James is across from a park filled with Linden Trees that perfume the park in the evening. I would recommend it to family and friends.

There was a large amount of mold in the ceiling which was our main concern but just know the photos that are posted on the site are NOT what is actually there ! Also one bed had no sheets and when we asked for sheets the guy at the desk was sooooo rude and wanted to know why we had not told him earlier??? Definitely would NOT advise anyone to stay at this property !!
