Check rates for Hotel Bodoni
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Florencehotel search — search for “Hotel Bodoni” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +39 055 240741 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
Only if central-location prose and friendly staff outweigh dirty-room and dated-facility cons — the softest headline here with cleanliness in the sixes.
This seed has no POI distance rows for Hotel Bodoni. Location scores 8.85 out of 10 with prose calling the pin central and convenient — we do not invent Duomo or Accademia kilometres from that prose alone.
The supplier rating is 7.8 out of 10 from 7,994 reviews, captured 11 December 2025 — the lowest headline in this Florence sample. Service 9.31 with accommodating staff named; location 8.85; cleanliness 6.35 with dirty rooms in the cons; room quality 6.81 with dated facilities and inadequate facilities named. Pros also name friendly staff and adequate breakfast; cons add unreliable hot water.
Facilities are basic: bar, snack bar, terrace, family rooms, parking garage, solarium and pets allowed are listed — no restaurant, pool or spa in the filtered amenity facts we cite. Amenities score 7.84 with bathroom-facility improvements noted.
Check-in from 02:00 PM; check-out 11:00 AM. Chain: none recorded.
Best for
- Budget travellers who read cons before booking and still want location praise
- Guests who prioritise staff scores over room cleanliness numbers
- Anyone comparing a two-star against c-hotels Ambasciatori on the same page
Not for
- Anyone who will not risk dirty-room complaints — explicitly named
- Guests who need reliable hot water — a named con
- Travellers who want POI-verified landmark walks — there are no POI rows
Verdict last reviewed . Rates, refurbishments and management change — re-check anything time-sensitive before booking.
The supplier’s overall score
Third-party guest reviews: 7.8/10 from 7,994 reviews — as of
This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.
