great place, great owners especially. more

Hotel Abaco has seen better days and is overpriced for the cramped, dingy surroundings reached by walking up three flights of unlit stairs (even at night). The bathroom had a bad odor and meager facilities in a space the size of a tiny closet. The shower sprays on the floor shared with the WC and sink, the curtain of thin,... more

Hotel Abaco was tolerable except for the pillows. We are not picky people and have stayed at many small hotels in the past, but the pillows at hotel abaco made sleeping extremely difficult. It felt as though the pillows were some sort of very lumpy bean bag. Everything else was okay, but we wouldn't stay there again. more

Despite the various scary reviews on travel advisor, I still followed the recommendations of lonely planet and booked a 3night stay at Hotel Abaco. The only faults I can find are that the climb up to the property with heavy luggage was terrible. If you can live with 5min of difficult heavy lifting, you'll find your stay here quite rewarding.... more

We stayed at Hotel Abaco for three nights during our recent two week trip to Italy. The process of making reservations via email was very smooth and the staff was very friendly. Our room was very, very clean and the bed was super comfortable, one of the best beds of our whole trip. The decor was interesting and very well... more

My girlfriend and I booked this hotel for 3 nights but ended up only staying for a disgusting 2. We expected the bare minimum as we have stayed in many small European hotels in the past. When we arrived we were a little apprehensive: The dark winding staircase up many flights of stairs towards the awkward front door of the... more

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Abaco in early fall 2003 and loved it. As others have noted, it was definately within walking distance of all main sights of Florence. We walked from the train station to the hotel and this was not a problem. It was a bit hard to find, but the guidebook we got the listing... more

The hotel was in a great location but looks better on paper than in person. The staff was ok but one young woman that worked nights was untolerable. She was very unwilling to assist us in any aspects of our stay. The room was cold and the stairs were not bad but were very daunting and dark at the end... more

We were less than pleased with our short stay at Hotel Abaco. Staff was grumpy at best, we were unable to find the hotel (only a tiny little sign). Had to lug up our suitcase 3 flights. Room was tidy and clean, WC was fine. Weirdest thing was that I woke up in the a.m. to huge bug bites!! Location... more
