About
Soggiorno Arcobaleno
Soggiorno Arcobaleno operates as a guesthouse in a historic Florentine building, a few minutes' walk from the main train station and close to the San Lorenzo market area. It offers the independence of apartment-style amenities — most rooms have a fridge, kettle, and some have a microwave or a small kitchenette — combined with daily housekeeping and a front desk with limited hours.
The guesthouse is small in scale, with a handful of room types ranging from economy doubles to a family room and a deluxe studio. Common areas include a terrace that guests regularly mention in reviews. The staff are frequently praised for their welcoming and informative attitude, and pets are allowed. Breakfast is not served on site but is offered at a nearby cafe.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Breakfast not on site — Breakfast is served at a nearby cafe, not in the guesthouse. Some guests may prefer an in-house spread.
- Limited reception hours — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 19:30, which could be tight if your travel plans run late.
- Small-scale setup — This is a guesthouse, not a full-service hotel. There's no on-site restaurant, bar, or gym.
