We stayed at Il Ghiro for 5 nights and it was a great stay. First, we arrived after carrying our luggage from the train station and we were greeted by Francesco. The hostel is located on the third floor of a building without elevator, but Francesco took our bags and carried them up. What a nice gesture! During our whole... More

The staff were amazing! They were kind and very helpful. There was no breakfast service, but it has a kitchen with plates, cups, coffee machine, coffee, sugar, etc., so we can prepare our breakfast or a meal in the afternoon. It also offers a computer with internet (which is good you don't have a smartphone or need it for a... More

loved il ghiro, location close to both train station and lots of the sights. Great to have kitchen, wireless and washing machine.The owners are extremely nice. Lovely room with nice view and able to get to know other guests as place is small and intimate with common area. Would definitely stay there again.

Once arrived, we were warmly greeted by a very kind host. We were actually asked to move to their new place, named Bencidorm. The latter was absolutely new. With very nice and new furniture and equipment and a TV set. A rather spacious room and a large bathroom. You have a free WiFi in the whole place, a computer with... More

Clean, quiet small guest house with a very friendly atmosphere in the heart of Firenze. We love Francesco - the owner, who is extremally nice and helpfull. We spent there 15 days, travelling around Tuscany. Parking 3 min. very good price thanks to Francesco. Don't worry about third floor, is quite healthy:)

It was actually the affiliated Hotel Bencidormi that they put us in. We did not know this would be the case until we arrived; had to wait a while to be let in and then were taken to Bencidormi (a few yards away), so things were a bit uncertain at first. However, all was fine after that. Not sure what... More

Il Ghiro Guest House is up three flights of stairs without a lift but it's worth the climb. Although our bathroom was shared, it was right next door to our room and we never had any problem accessing it. We really enjoyed our stay at this place. It’s in a great location, there is a kitchen, with a stove and... More
