Emerald Palace

The location is perfect. There’s a lot of shops that surrounds it. The room is squeaky clean.

•The property doesn’t have a lift. Our room is on the 3rd floor, imagine carrying suitcase and bags going up.. • They don’t have lights in corridors going to the stairway and stairs is very dark, you will be needing your phone flashlight whenever you go out. • The kitchen is messy (probably it’s because of the previous guests mess) and fridge is old and has some molds. (But we didn’t use those so not a problem for us honestly)

The location was awesome - directly across from the Medici Chapel & Crypts. We awoke to the sound of church bells ringing. We had a triple room with beds for four. The queen bed was in a loft. I liked the steep tight wooden stair case up to the room. The bed was comfortable, views from the window were great. There was also a common area with a kitchen and amenities we didn't use.

There was nothing we didn't like, but it was a bit difficult to find. If you decide to choose this accommodation be sure to look at the BRASS WALL PLAQUE that says EMWRALD PALACE - otherwise you may have difficulty finding it.

Affordable (for Florence) female only room with a beautiful view of San Lorenzo, very clean, amazing balcony area with seating, and very kind and accessible English-speaking staff at all hours! I arrived very late to check in at 2am after travel difficulties and staff was super helpful and kind. I was up early and back late every day I was there, so can’t speak to social life, but it seems more quiet than a typical ‘party hostel’, which was perfect for me.

Keep in mind that the towels are for rent (2 euro each) and there are no curtains around beds, but this wasn’t a big issue personally since it was a female only room. One of the bathrooms outside the room had a broken flush that would leak out, but there was a sign warning and I had another bathroom available in the room where everything was great.

The location was great.The room was spacious and very comfortable and welcomingly cooled especially in this sweltering summer heat. Enjoyed the evening and mornings at the roof patio.

There wasn't enough charging points in the room to change your devices overnight. Although there are plenty in the kitchen. Hopefully they could add some power points and change the stools provided
