"Quiet and quaint, with lots of charm."
European Hostels Editor
(4 out of 5 stars)
Cool and collected Vincenzina has been running this little darling since 1974, and she keeps the place fresh-faced and classy. Hotel Giappone sits on a quiet street just around the corner from both bustling Piazza Santa Maria Novella, and the shopping of Via Tornabuoni. Giappone is most assuredly worth the massive climb up to the fourth floor.

First impressions vaguely recall a southern plantation house, with pale green walls, freshly-painted white doors, and elegant antique accents. Rooms have a touch of casual funkiness, revealing their age a bit, with 1970s lamps and walls in bold sponge-painted colors adding fun to the otherwise plain and functional d?cor. Space-wise you'll have no complaints. Rooms are large and airy.

On the other hand, bathrooms are a bit tighter, following the retro vibe with grey and white printed tiles and colorful shower curtains. We're happy to report that rooms without a private bathroom feature simple box showers.

All in all, Hotel Giappone is a darling eight-room hotel, cute and clean, located on a central yet quiet little street.
