The location is perfect. Step out of the airport and 50 meters away is the T2 tram that takes you right into the heart of Florence, get off at the final stop and the hotel is 50 meters in front of right at the beautiful square. The staff are helpful and lovely and the rooms are perfectly clean, we were lucky enough to get a view across the square. ##### Derek Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rhiannon 27 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Bathroom stinks of cigarette smoke, air conditioner in poor condition, overall was just good for us as it was a 1 night stay so mostly out and about. ##### Rhiannon Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Henry 6 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The hotel is located very close to the train station and that makes it very convenient. It is a place that meets the basic lodging conditions. The staff is very friendly and willing to provide good service. The room is clean and spacious; Perhaps your furniture requires an update. In general terms it is a good place to spend the night. ##### Henry Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joyce 29 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I booked my stay here literally a half an hour before getting off the train and was greeted with great hospitality and an easy check-in! My room was quaint, colorful, clean, and perfect for my needs! I wanted something in the heart of the city that would allow me to walk around and enjoy everything that Florence has to offer. It was literally in the heart of the city, and a five minute walk from the train station, which made it super convenient. I highly recommend staying here at this lovely and hospitable hotel. ##### Joyce Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 25 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was in a great location within walking distance from the train station. The room was fantastic. Had the room with a view of the square. Only thing was that there was no continental breakfast. For the price it could be added. ##### David Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Donnell 14 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Need to be more friendly, cleaner, and offer some coffee for heaven’s sake!!! ##### Donnell Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Adham 24 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities When I reached the hotel, I was given a small room. Upon talking to the front desk about it, he told that the room is standard size by Italian measures. Nevertheless, he moved me to a bigger room. Very happy with this hotel. ##### Adham Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Cara 28 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Small but efficient room on the 5th floor looking out onto the piazza, perfect location r/t dining, shopping, and sight-seeing and very walkable to train station and tram stop from airport. We could hear music and activities from the restaurants and piazza below until late, but that was mostly pleasant. Staff was excellent. Not luxurious but we’d recommend! ##### Cara Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### sergio 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Firenze Pisa The room was l ocated on the 3.5 floor, there were stairs to go up from the 3rd floor or come down 1/2 a floor from the 4th, hard to explain. The room was older than expected and the plumbing in the bathroom sink was clogged ##### sergio Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cynthia 23 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Nothing like the pictures used on the advertised and most of our outlets didn't work for some reason. ##### Cynthia Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### RAJESH 23 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Drinking water bottle in the room. Does not cost a fortune but seems someone cares. When you come back after a hot day as the weather is like these days. ##### RAJESH Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 4 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had reservations for the nights of May 1st & 2nd but the busses from Greve in Chianti didn't run on May 1 because it was a holiday. We called and explained our plight and the hotel generously offered to change our stay to the 2nd & 3rd. That was very kind of them and they didn't have to do it. The staff was warm, welcoming, and helpful. Couldn't ask for more. Well done! ##### William Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Xavier 22 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Everything was excellent, except: Nothing in the room (coffee, etc) Some things are falling apart and lack maintenance. Very complicated to get to by car and park. Parking garages will take your car to another location and may change the price overnight without notice. Get a quote in writing. Again staff was awesome, very helpful and polite and willing to go the extra mile. ##### Xavier Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel degli Orafi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Degli-Orafi.h970861.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Hotel Firenze Pitti Palace al Ponte Vecchio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Pitti-Palace-Al-Ponte-Vecchio.h17378.Hotel-Information) > > [QK Costa58 Home Tower](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-QK-Costa58-Home-Tower.h21056347.Hotel-Information) > > [Plus Florence - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Plus-Florence-Hostel.h4125332.Hotel-Information) > > [Residenza D'Epoca Palazzo Galletti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Residenza-DEpoca-Palazzo-Galletti.h1851785.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Calimala Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Calimala.h37955169.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Stanze del Duomo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Le-Stanze-Del-Duomo.h7519914.Hotel-Information) > > [Il Perseo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Il-Perseo.h2693693.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Paris.h54104.Hotel-Information) > > [The Social Hub Florence Lavagnini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-The-Social-Hub-Florence-Lavagnini.h23198289.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ville sull'Arno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Ville-SullArno.h521255.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Cavour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Cavour.h10993.Hotel-Information) > > [Cerretani Hotel Firenze - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Cerretani-Mgallery-Collection.h2345.Hotel-Information) > > [Monna Lisa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Monna-Lisa.h1230.Hotel-Information) > > [Palazzo Lorenzo Hotel Boutique & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Palazzo-Lorenzo-Hotel-Boutique-Spa.h15547248.Hotel-Information) > > [Gallery Hotel Art - Lungarno Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Gallery-Hotel-Art-Lungarno-Collection.h14614.Hotel-Information) > > [IQ Hotel Firenze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-IQ-Hotel-Firenze.h89035039.Hotel-Information) > > [Corona D'italia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Corona-DItalia.h799996.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Berchielli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Berchielli.h521260.Hotel-Information) > > [Bernini Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Bernini-Palace.h13999.Hotel-Information) > > [Forte16 View & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Forte16.h8071708.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Milu Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Milu-Hotel.h15495681.Hotel-Information) > > [Il Rivalta - Place of Charme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Alfieri-Signature-Suites.h45790281.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Centrale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Relais-Hotel-Centrale-Residenza-D-Epoca.h2066602.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cantoria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Cantoria.h10939902.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Continentale - Lungarno Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Continentale-Lungarno-Collection.h905768.Hotel-Information) > > [Casual Rinascimento Firenze Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Casual-Rinascimento-Firenze-SPA.h89410886.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Accademia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Accademia.h1492705.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel La Fortezza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-La-Fortezza.h899824.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Baglioni](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Baglioni.h6371.Hotel-Information)
