Top Florence Hotel Reviews

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Florence, Tuscany, Italy is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For those seeking value without compromising on a central location, the Santa Maria Novella area in Florence is an excellent choice. Situated near the main train station, this neighbourhood offers a fantastic balance of affordability and accessibility, ensuring you're well-connected to all major sights without the premium price tag often associated with the Duomo area.

Another superb option for budget-conscious travellers is the San Lorenzo / San Marco district. Here, you'll discover a greater selection of budget-friendly hotels and charming B&Bs compared to the more tourist-heavy core. It's a central location that still allows for a more local feel while keeping you within easy reach of Florence's treasures.

If you're looking for an authentic Florentine experience with a slightly lower price point, consider the Oltrarno / Santo Spirito neighbourhood. While not always the absolute cheapest, this area on the 'other side of the Arno' offers a more local vibe and is great for exploring artisan workshops and enjoying traditional Tuscan cuisine.

For the most economical stays, venturing slightly outside the immediate historic centre can yield significant savings.
How much does a budget hotel in Florence cost?
Budget hotel prices in Florence vary, but you can find a great deal from £51 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates.
