Porta Faenza was very comfortable and conveniently located near the Firenze S.M Novello train station. We had a large bathroom with double sinks and walk-in shower. The was a large balcony. Breakfast was good. Only complaint was that the air conditioner was sometimes noisy overnight -- I could see where some people would not be pleased -- fortunately were are sound sleepers. Overall, this hotel was a nice refuge in a very busy city. We would stay here again if we returned to Florence.
