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.
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 had an amazing stay at The Sonetto. The staff were absolutely incredible, super friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. The bed is super comfy, the room is a decent size and the property has a nice and quiet pateo where you can chill.
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.
Great place and location. The staff is very nice and respond quickly. Overall the room is amazing and zo is the view of the river. The only issue is that you can hear the person in the room next to you as if they are in the room with you. The walls are way too thin. Luckily everyone there was very quiet but it still felt a little weird at times hearing literally everything someone else was doing

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.
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。

Great find
Lovely hotel with view over river. Comfortable bed and hosts were extremely helpful and friendly.
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
The hosts of the hotel were very helpful and lovely. The location was excellent and the breakfast spread was quite nice as well. Unfortunately the room itself was really outdated, uncomfortable and made me question the hotel's 3 stars to the point where we didn't want to go back to the room during the day. I would say it's a 2 star hotel although the hosts and location make it a nice stay.
Perfect small hotel. The staff was welcoming and friendly and very willing to offer assistance with sightseeing and restaurant suggestions. Room was clean,good sized and bathroom had been recently remodeled. Breakfast offerings were ample. I will stay there again on my next visit to Florence.
