Loved our stay at Ruby Bea Hotel!
Love our stay at Ruby Bea! Terrific from start to end, greeted by the nicest front desk staff, beautiful hotel, great and comfortable room, and loved the breakfast spread each morning! Well located walking distance near NYU Florence and its off-campus dorms, as well as Ponte Vecchio/Uffizi Gallery areas. Would stay here again!

Superb and above expectations
This hotel exceeded my expectations. The room is clean, AC works perfect, soundproofing is wonderful. It's a kind of a self service hotel for the other stuff (i.e. no room service, no laundry service.. etc) but the staff at the front desk and bar are super friendly and fun! And hanging out by the bar feels just like home, plus it's open 24/7.

Fantastic stay!!
Our stay at Ruby Bea was phenomenal. Staff were super friendly, approachable and helpful. We loved everything about the hotel and its location. A short walk from the hustle and bustle of the city highlights, so environment was quiet. Entire visit was great and would definitely stay at the Ruby Bea Hotel again!

If you are looking for friendly, minimalist hipster hotel then this is your place. If you are looking for a moderate or luxury chain hotel experience, this is not that. But rooms have all the necessities. Staff as amazing. Would not hesitate in return

This was a great hotel located next to a convenient Tram station. They were very kind and attentive, and the free cappuccinos were an excellent way to start the day! The room was clean and comfortable, we had a great stay.
