Really enjoyed my stay at Balcony. Just about everything is a ten to fifteen minute walk from the hotel and there are plenty of dining and shopping options. The owners are very helpful and welcoming!

This is an excellent 3 star hotel with a clean, modern interior, and first rate service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a conveniently located mid-priced hotel option in Milan.

Great central location!
Great stay in central location. Room was clean and layout was nice. Very friendly staff. Only issue was the shower drained slowly but it didn’t bother us. We would stay again. AC was great!

Jeff, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked that it was so close to the duomo and the train station and still only 15 minutes each way to the Uffizi and Galleria dell’Academia

The owners of the property were so friendly and helpful. It's a husband and wife team who go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Can't ask for a better location! You can see the Duomo from the entrance, and is also very close to the main train station. Very lively area, no breakfast on site (I think), but there are so many eating options right nearby.
Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Helpful and knowledgeable mom & pop owners; they were always at the desk. No problem leaving baggage there after checkout time. GREAT LOCATION!

Hotel balcony Florence
Excellent location, neat and tidy but a bit dated. Breakfast was basic. Friendly and service minded staff. A good place for a few nights if you want to stay in the city center.
Hans, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The shower was a bit poor, but overall I liked it.
Sumire, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location and perfectly nice
This place is no frills for sure and the room is small. However, it was affordable and in a perfect location about halfway between the main train station and the Duomo. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was continental. Just what you need to get some fuel in the morning and get going.
Rory, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very pleasant stay, I would return
The staff/owners of this place are the finest and friendly people and I enjoyed my stay a lot thanks to them. The hotel felt homey and comfortable although of course has some areas of improvement, but overall I feel at home and I’d return. I had no problem with the wifi, my only inconvenient was that the actual balcony attracts mosquitoes, so I would advise to spray some repellent.
Zayra Denisse, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The woman at the front desk was very helpful to me despite our language difference.. The staff were very friendly. The shower had very nice water pressure. They cleaned the room perfectly everyday. We didn't eat there but the dining area was very cute . The location was perfect. Very reasonable price for the 6 nights we stayed. Perfect for the budget if you don't need anything fancy .. I would stay here again ..

8/10 Very good

A great place to spend the night while visiting Florence. It is 5-minute walk from the train station. It is within walking distance of most things in the Florence center. Clean, friendly, practical. I has a small room with a bed and the essentials. But what more did I need. I only spent the night sleeping. For that, is was quiet and comfortable—an excellent value for the price.
Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very old and damaged furniture old towels and bed cover, light switches didn’t work, very hot in the room had to use a fan. They need to improve the facilities really bad.
Roberto, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Great location, but mediocre stay, expensive for what it offers. The walls are thin, we could hear everything and everyone in the building and in the street. The beds are uncomfortable, they are hard and you can feel the springs. The breakfast wasn’t happening at the hotel, instead you had to cross the street and go to a coffee shop that would only offer one pastry, a dry sandwich or one small bowl of fruit (either/or). Not the breakfast you would expect when paying this price. Would recommend staying elsewhere for that money.
Claudia, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

I will not pay my entire stay at this Hotel. The property is horrible. The bed was broken, my son suffered a back injury. No breakfast offered, charged as more than expected. the room was so tiny and the staff is not speaking English.
