We arrived by train at 4 pm and walked about 5 blocks to the Hotel Centrale. Up 2 flights to the reception desk where we met Irene - she is fabulous. Showed us our rooms and she gladly made restaurant reservations for us that very night. Our room was very spacious and close to all the sights. The hotel also... more

On our honeymoon in Italy, we only allowed one night in Florence, so we needed a place very central, between the train station and the Duomo. Hotel Centrale fit the bill - it was less than a 10 minute walk from the station, and less than 5 minutes from the Duomo. However, it was an unexpected surprise that made this... more

Hotel Centrale was a good recommendation in our guidebook (Rick Steves). It truly is central: near the train station, the Duomo, Santa Maria Novella and San Lorenzo. The room was fine, although it could do with some minor repairs (a toilet-roll holder would be nice). Importantly, it was very quiet. Breakfast was excellent, including good coffee. The staff were helpful... more

My husband, 8 year old daughter and I stayed at the Hotel Centrale for 4 nights and I wished it could have been longer. It was a perfect location for us--near the train station and Duomo but on a quiet street. The hotel is on the 3rd floor and there is a tiny elevator but it worked fine for us.... more

Large, comfortable and clean rooms located between the main train station and the Duomo. Walking distance to absolutely everything with breakfast included. Reasonably priced for what you get - rooms are secure, air con works effectively and there is a mini bar in the room (which unfortunately wasn't restocked during our stay). Access to free internet access in reception. more

Located within a stone's throw of the Duomo, it's difficult to get lost when trying to return to this hotel. Tucked away on a small side street, parking was available in a nearby garage. The rooms are spacious for Italy, and everything very clean and well-lit. The ceilings had to be 14' giving our accommodation an even greater feeling of... more

Hotel Centrale is a modern oasis in busy Florence. We have stayed there twice and both times our rooms have been modern, very clean, comfortable, spacious and quiet. Our double room 4 years ago was slightly more luxurious than our triple room this year, as the bathroom was roomier. A/C. Helpful staff. Adequate breakfast included. Use the tiny lift to... more

The Centrale is in a great location - between train station, Duomo, and walking distance to everything. The service was outstanding, both at the front desk and breakfast (freshly made capuchinos/expresso by request. We had a triple room for 2 adults and a teen; plenty of room, clean, and quiet despite the central location. The only warning is that you... more

Hotel Centrale is a fabulous accommodation, great value, and they serve a terrific breakfast included in your room rate, which they'll even deliver to your room! We had just one night in Florence and reserved two triples, including breakfast, at a steal of 105 euros per room per night. The hotel is very clean and is located on the upper... more
