Frommer's "Quirky, midsize, individual rooms in this palazzo turned chic, contemporary guesthouse come with stylized themes." Full review
Concierge "Casa Howard... invented the luxury Italian guesthouse... this discreet home-away-from-home exports that winning formula to Florence, offering high standards of comfort and service at great rates."
Lonely Planet "With six rooms, this is a delicious retreat near the train station."
Travel + Leisure "This affordable guesthouse... features 13 themed accommodations in a prime location near Santa Maria Novella church." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The individual, characterful rooms combine original features with modern furnishings."
Fodor's "This unassuming little inn has no two rooms alike, and an aura of eclectic funk pervades: one room takes its inspiration from Japan; others are geared to families." Full review
Afar Magazine "A guesthouse to its core, Casa Howard continues this Florentine tradition; there is neither lobby nor restaurant, and the husband-and-wife owners live in their own apartment here while in town." Full review

Rough Guide "Since opening in 2008, this modern hostel has won awards for its service and excellent facilities."
Frommer's "If a gated courtyard right in the center appears rather a grand address for a hostel, that is because this is no ordinary student traveler dive." Full review
Let's Go "Don’t wait another minute to make a reservation at this hostel—with only 30 beds and the best value in the neighborhood, it’s no surprise that Academy doesn’t have many last-minute vacancies." Full review

"Wedged between Florence’s two most iconic monuments – David and the Duomo – the Academy Hostel’s location could hardly be better." Full review
