This hotel is in a very good location, right near the train station, 3 minute walk to the Duomo and 5 minute walk to Ponte Vecchio. Florence is pretty small so everything is walking distance. There is a cute market just half a block away, which sold all different types of leather goods, shawls, etc. Fantastic! The hotel is very... more

I stayed here with a friend for 4 nights on a recent trip to Europe and it was a great experience. The hotel is REALLY close to the main Santa Maria Novella station, literally a 2 minute walk, and easy to find. Florence isn't that big, so it was a really convenient base for sightseeing too. Plenty of restaurants, cafes,... more

This was a good find at a bargain price. Close to the station which proved very useful for getting around. The staff were very helpful and happily made bookings for us for the Uffizzi gallery and called taxis and suggested buses to get to Siena. There was only one morning shift older fellow who got a bit short with our... more

Excellent location - just a couple of minutes from the main station Santa Nouvella. and also the sights of florence that one wants to see. Rooms were very clean and so were the baths. The rooms are generally small as in the case of most city centre hotels in Europe. Breakfast was a large and good spread from cereals to... more

After having an idea due to tripadvisor, we spent 5 nights in Hotel Sempione and we have never been dissapointed. 5 minutes of walk from main train station and 10 minutes to famous Duomo square. Rooms are a bit small but also clean, tidy and well designed. The staff is helpfull and professional. It's really a typical 3 star hotel.... more

We really enjoyed this small hotel. It was conveniently located near the train station and an easy walk to the sites. The rooms were very clean, a little small, but well priced. We stayed in the hotel twice and they were very helpful when we needed to change our dates on short noticed. The breakfast was excellent and very hearty.... more

We spent here one night after spending two night in Caravaggio hotel, very close to this one. Wish we could have stayed longer in Caravaggio. Hotel Sempione was more expensive and worse in general. Old furniture, small bathroom... I have to say our views was excellent, but we have other priorities. The street is noisy but we were on the... more

This small hotel was a treat. Spotless homely rooms, pleasant service, handy location (we walked everywhere), lovely breakfast room with attentive service - and good prices available if booked on the internet or through the hotel booking service at Italy's railway stations. more

My wife and I stayed only one night but wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel is very nice and clean. We enjoyed the little balcony on the room also. We made a mistake and took a taxi from the train station to the hotel because we didnt know exactly where it was. We both laughed when we found... more
