At first I was worried this hotel might be too far from downtown. Although it is close to the airport, I traveled by train. However, the bus downtown is easy to catch near the hotel and the front desk sells the inexpensive tickets. The staff speaks English and is very helpful and friendly. The bus also stops right at the... more

Been there few months ago, due to some business meeting in Florence. The Hotel itself it is not the top, but rooms are very clean and that is a fact. Furnishing a little bit too old fashioned. I want to talk about my stay in Alexander Hotel because I would like to put the stress on the kindness of the... more

I could not have found a better place for the relationship price/quality... with a plus: location! Very clean bath, bedroom, towels; nice flat screen tv-cable and refrigerator to keep handy couple of... more

Spotless hotel with friendly staff and efficient service. Not within walking easy distance of the centre but a direct bus stops right outside and take about 15 minutes. Hotel sells bus tickets. Hot water in the shower was tepid one evening, I'd have ignored it however my partner loves a hot shower. She phoned reception and a man came up... more

This is a decent place right next to the airport with a great staff. The cab ride was a little expensive for less than 1km (11 Euro) so we walked to the airport on our return journey. The rooms were clean and the bed was nice, but the decor is definately a throwback to the 70's complete with a green... more

We stayed here for 3 nights. Couldn't have had a better experience. We stayed at this hotel in August, 2006. We were very pleased with it. Its quiet, comfortable, rooms are clean and very nice staff. There is an a/c, good tv channels and comfortable bed. The bad thing about this hotel is that its far from the tourist attractions.... more

OK the hotel is not in the city centre but there is a bus stop (... more

We spent 3 nights at this hotel and it worked out perfectly for sightseeing in Florence. The bus stops about 100 meters from the hotel and it's about a 20 minute ride into the city. The bus comes every 7 minutes or so. The hotel was decent and was fine for what we needed. The rooms were clean, employees were... more
