Hotel Basilea is the best hotel I have stayed in. The rooms are large and at a very reasonable price. The hotel is also very centrally located in Florence. It is extremely clean and offers an excellent breakfast. The best part of the hotel is the wonderful service provided by the staff. Until I got to the hotel I was... more

A good value for money hotel in an expensive tourist city. Front desk staff welcoming as were the domestic staff. Walking distance from both railway/bus station & the major attractions. Very quiet at night, do not be deceived by first appearance of area - prices much more resonable than city centre. Internet cafe, mini-market & restaurants handy. Would go back.... more

When we extended our trip in florence and our hotel could not accommodate us, my wife and I walked all over looking for a nice hotel near the train station. We went to a dozen places and the one that caught our eye was Hotel Basilea. The man working the desk was also the owner and was extremely helpful and... more

While not the newest hotel in town, don't let that throw you. Service is great, location is safe and everything is within walking distance (train station, Accedmia, Uffizi, etc). The room itself initially threw us with it's tired decor but we really had no issues. And in 40 degree heat, the central A/C was bliss! more

This is a great hotel and really good location in the center of the city, you can walk everywhere. Rooms are good size and clean. The owner himself is usually at the front desk. He and his staff are extremely helpfull and freindly. more

Nice, modern clean room My only negative about this place is the small bathroom and shower stall - a bit hard to maneuver. However, otherwise, . From the kind & friendly staff, to the lavish breakfast (bread, pastry, meat, cheese, cereal, OJ, cappucino), to the clean modern room with excellent air-conditioning, . Excellent location near the sites and the train... more

The service we received was absolutely excellent, all three receptionists we saw and dealt with were extremely polite and eager to help in any way they could. That's about all the positive things I can say about this hotel. It is located within walking distance of all major attractions-if you don't mind walking on rubbish, vomit, broken glass etc. Parking... more

OK, there are nicer places to be found. But at 65 euros, I have to say that I was completely satisfied. We came in from Rome for two days and one night in Florence, so we just needed a place to spend one no-frills night. The facilities are old, the carpet needed to be replaced, and the bed was less... more

Great hotel for the price. Really good location in the center of the city, can walk everywhere. Rustic Tuscan feel but definitely not a five star place. Extremely helpful management. The wireless internet is really slow but there are plenty of nearby internet cafes. more

There on our honeymoon, great service from the hotel staff, close proximity to all the art and architecture, I always wanted to see. The communal terrace adds to the charm of the place, it was a comfortable, smooth stay. more
