We stayed at the Alexander for 3 nights as we had to return the car at the airport upon arrival and also had a very early flight out of Florence. It's a typical 4-star hotel that you would expect in North America. The room is very large in European standards and the bathroom big enough. Breakfast is OK, with scrambled... more

The area is a hub for prostitution at night. The breakfast was just awful. We had to make a strong argument to have them honor our reservation. The walls are paper thin. No water preassure in the shower. The hotel is too far from the center of town. Spend the extra money and stay near the center. more

The hotel is aging, which can be seen by stained carpets and walls. Other than that, it seemed clean. Staff was very nice and provided maps and tips on the bus. The hotel is literally 5 minutes from the airport. Breakfast is good. It is about a 20 minute ride into the city. Overall a good value as we got... more

Although we made a confirmed reservation 3 months in advance, they had no room for us. After some heated words they found one. The rooms are quite nice, but the A/C was off even though it was quite warm. The staff was helpful. It was only a 5 minute run to the airport for a 5:30 AM check in. THe... more

We had a very pleasant stay in this hotel. Our air con worked quietly and efficiently, which was essential in mid-August. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful as were the staff at breakfast. It is a bumpy 25 min bus ride from the centre of Florence but otherwise a more than adequate hotel. There was a bar very nearby... more

Pluses: Pleasant and helpful staff, small but clean rooms, good breakfast, quiet air con, close to Florence airport Minuses: small and understocked bar area, 20 minutes bus ride (no 22) into town, night noise if windows opened, ageing lift Top tip: buy bus tickets in advance and use the punch on the bus. 5 an hour during the main part... more

This hotel was nice. It was a little older, and not right in the heart of Florence, but was close to the bus line. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was always clean and nice. Breakfast was ok, not grand...Each day of our stay, there was a tour bus group there that made it difficult to get... more

close to airport a bit far from center, parking dificult on sat-nights, due to regulation, wifi good, but slightly complicated - user/passwords, breakfast disapointing more

We had a great experience at this hotel. We booked it at the last minute on our train in to Florence and all we knew was that it was on a bus route from the train station. In a leap of faith, we hopped on that bus (don't recall the #, 22? 23?) and just rode it around a while... more
