It was nice. Only problem I would say is the noise from other rooms in the morning if you are on the first floor. I would recommend choosing the 2nd floor.

Absolutely! Here’s a shorter version: ⸻ Amazing Stay at The Sonetto – Thanks to Paul! The Sonetto by Sonder is stylish, perfectly located, and incredibly comfortable—but what made our stay unforgettable was Paul. He went above and beyond with his kindness, local tips, and genuine care. Truly a standout experience thanks to him!

We were located along the Lungarno and had lovely views from our window. Very safe and beautiful neighborhood. Very convenient location near city center. We walked to most of the sites or able to take a busy easily. The staff were so kind and hospitable. Breakfast fare excellent! For our first trip to Italy has left lasting impression because of the Sonetto.

Sonetto by Sonder

Hotel is actually in a great area and everything you want to see in Florence is an easy walk to get to. Hotel customer service was amazing and everyone was very helpful. Our room was smaller, but that’s all we needed. If you fancy a larger shower, be sure to book the larger room. Overall, very happy with our experience there.

We were very disappointed in the room, a 'ground floor' was actually a basement room, the only window looking up through the hotel maintenance type area- it was noisy, not private and did not feel secure. The room smelt moldy, with poor ventilation. Erica, one of the concierges was wonderful and the hotel's location was good.

Needs updating and new bedding

Hotel well located, friendly staff. The room? Dated and a little dark... Bedding terrible, uncomfortable mattress, awful pillows. Tiny bathroom with shower that leaked all over floor. Carpet on floor of hotel room- didn’t seem quite clean... Walls super thin, we could hear someone snoring in the room next to us. Not a pleasant experience. I would book elsewhere next time

Not clean. There were flees in the room and bit me. Hotel staff refuse to admit it's hotel's problem and didn't refund my money. And wifi signal in ground floor room is terrible, I need to stand close to the door to get internet signals. Terrbile experience ever!!! 不要住这里，房间不干净，网络信号差，工作人员态度很差。

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
A pretty guest house with lots of beautifying elements, but missing a few key items. No AC, so open the windows, but no screens, so the mosquitos bite. Very poor WiFi. Weak telephone signal. Our shower wouldn’t drain on first night, but we mentioned that and was improved next day, though still backed up a bit. Staff are young and friendly and try their best to be helpful. Clean and comfortable beds. Big TV with lots of Italian channels plus a few good U.S. streaming service for free. If WiFi was great and screens on windows, or working AC, would book again. Oh - and communication by telephone with hotel in advance of trip was impossible. Sondar needs to unify online telephone numbers and have a working front desk phone that dependably is answered or has an answering machine with English greeting. Very good in baggage storage and advice on finding local stores.

Should you stay here? I wouldn’t. The staff is very kind, but I ultimately had to relocate because I couldn’t continue my stay —even after switching rooms. For $20–$50 more per night, you can find a better hotel. I stayed in rooms 201 and 102, and neither looked as pictured. Both had noticeable excessive wear and tear (chipped surfaces, scuff marks) and felt unclean (dusty surfaces, mold in the shower, and a lingering odor). Pros: • Lovely staff – Helpful and assisted with luggage. • Good location – Overlooks the river and is close to Santa Croce attractions. Cons: • Rooms do not match photos • Noticeable wear and tear • Cleanliness could be improved I appreciated the staff’s efforts, but I wouldn’t stay again.
