I knew it was a shared bathroom. But not with 9, yes NINE, other rooms. That was a bit much. So the bathroom was not always the cleanest. At least our room had a sink so that helped. And the best part of our room was the French doors leading to a private balcony deck!! So you climb stairs to her to the rooms. Big deal. You are there to sleep.band the room was always made up for us.

2/10 Poor

Really bad experience.
I recently stayed at Hotel Monika in Florence and had a mixed experience. The location was convenient, being close to the train station and boasting an amazing Indian restaurant on the ground floor. However, the check-in process was peculiar, as guests are directed to another hotel, Mario, to speak with staff. Upon arrival at Hotel Monika, we found only two staff members, who were difficult to locate within the hotel.Furthermore, the breakfast options were disappointingly limited, prompting us to opt for breakfast outside the hotel. I would advise against booking rooms with breakfast included.Additionally, the entry of the hotel left much to be desired. Its poor condition failed to leave a good impression, contrary to the saying "first impression is last." One thing to add that they don’t have an elevator at hotel. Overall, while the location and restaurant were highlights, the check-in process, limited breakfast options, and poor entry condition detracted from the overall experience at Hotel Monika.
Entrance to the hotel.

Economical hotel stay.
Noice can be heard easily from other rooms. Old building but clean room. It is two star hotel so can’t expect much. Very close to central Station and all tourist spots.

Hotel Monica is a convenient little place within walking distance of all major attractions. For the price, you shouldn't expect luxury, and the rooms are smallish and sparse - ours had a strong smell of camphor, like the furniture had come from a granny's house. This being said, check-in and check-out were speedy and efficient, the prices were amazing, and the room was scrupulously clean. Highly recommend the breakfast - you won't have the choice you'd have in a hotel, but what they do have is good, especially the croissants and fresh fruit. We happened to coincide with very noisy young guests, but there was no noise from the street, and there are cafes and restaurants all around. The rating for the staff doesn't mean they were nice, simply that we didn't interact enough to have much to say. I do recommend this as a decent budget stay, again well located and a short walk from the airport tram. Would stay again :)

Nice hotel but a bit noisy
Comfortable room for a single traveller with clean bathroom. Rather noisy due to being right above and next door to the Indian restaurant and its kitchen. Good situation close to main station and 10 minute walk to the Duomo. No lift and also strange check-in and check-out system at the sister hotel 50 metres away. Nice breakfast arrangement with outside terrace.

Spend 20€ more and look elswhere
Good: Location and friendly staff. Bad: I understood breakfast was included. Got charged 7€ per person per meal in cash upon check out. Shared bathroom. Walls thin and other guest very loud until 2am when I knocked on the door to confront them. Little sleep both nights I was there. I had reservations there again in July but changed to another hotel.

A fine hotel in a great location on via Faenza. We checked in at a nearby sister hotel and stored our bags there until later. At Hotel Monica everything was just great. This price included a great breakfast on a wonderful patio that we all enjoyed. Complaints? We have none. Highly recommended and very convenient. Would love to stay again.

This hotel was very close to the sites we wanted to show our grandson. The streets were not easy to navigate due to fast moving cars and tiny sidewalks. But we made it

Room was huge, large windows with shutters. Street was narrow and the noise funneled up, even voices. Convenient to train / bus station (about 5 minutes walk).
