I review every hotel I stay at and this one was maybe the biggest disappoin**ent of all time. Before our arrival in Florence we tried to extend one additional night at this Artists Palace hotel before our arrival. Thank goodness they didn’t have a room available.
Apparently this hotel was a Convent at some point in its history and it felt like it hadn’t been updated since that time. I’m pretty sure it was the original flooring in the room and it was dingy and chipped tiles. The place felt like a cheap Hostel that suits those on an ultra-limited budget.
The shower in one bathroom wouldn’t drain and I had to stop my shower so the water wouldn’t overflow onto the bathroom floor, wait 5 mins, then restarted my shower for one more minute to get the shampoo out of my hair.
The bedside lamps were cheap plastic cones and extension cables that hung from the top of the makeshift headboard.
The mattresses were the most uncomfortable ever.
There were stack of boxes and chairs in the hallways, and occasional placements of worn out sofas and furniture in the halls.
The artwork in the room featured broken sculptures that were the cheapest artwork they could buy at a flea market.
Breakfast was at a restaurant 2 min walk down the street and this was actually the only thing we liked about the hotel.
We stayed at another hotel in Florence the following night that was a similar cost, but it was so much nicer. The Artists Place Hotel is in dire need of updates.
