I was shocked the minute I entered the room, the room is really small and outdated ..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 !!

The inside is bland and utilitarian, like walking into an apartment building, not a hotel. The front desk is on the second level. No welcoming greeting from the staff. We paid the tax and were given a key. There was no mini fridge and were told by another staff member none of the rooms had them, however our friend’s room did. A sign in the room said they offered a continental breakfast but when asked about it he said no breakfast. It’s a room with a bed and bathroom. It was more like a hostel than a hotel. The room was clean but the hallway had dirty glasses in it and some other debris. Upon check out we turned in the sign advertising their continental breakfast as they may want to remove it from the room. The man offered breakfast at their sister hotel a block away which should have been mentioned beforehand. We checked out of our prepaid room and went downstairs to wait and the man ran downstairs calling out that we didn’t pay and demanded we come up to look at his record. I had the receipt showing we paid and had to physically point out my name on his record showing we paid but he kept saying the room number we were in was not paid for. I had to explain to him a few times that the man on the desk who checked us in gave us the key to our room, we had no control over the room he assigned and it clearly shows paid next to my name on his records. He had difficulty understanding they mixed up our rooms and our friends who stayed in the other room had to pay not us.
