We picked this hotel mainly for the great location right at a corner of Piazza Della Repubblica, meaning we were within walking distance of most everything in Firenze. The price was very attractive, but the hotel is a bit old and run down. On the up side, the staff are helpful and courteous. Biggest complaint is about the bathroom. There... More

As nearly every reviewer notes, this is about as good a location as you can get in central Florence, no matter what you pay. It's not a five-star luxury facility, but it's pretty much no more than a block or three from any of the places most tourists would want to visit in the city. If you arrive by train... More

The hotel is located in the middle of the tourist areas. The service was excellent and helpful. The room was of a good size. The only criticism was that we asked for a double bed but got 2 single beds that were pushed together. This was uncomfortable if you happened to roll onto this part of the bed. Breakfast was... More

The hotel is located in a corner building in the PIazza Della Repubblica. However, to get to the hotel you must take an old fashioned elevator up to the fifth floor. They were very kind and accomodating. The rooms are simple and basic, but quite comfortable. The room was actually pretty spacious. We had a small balcony that looked out... More

We staied in this hotel for 2 nights I apreciated the low peice and the confortable location. it is in Piazza della Repubblica just half way between the Cathedral and Piazza della Signoria. The view from the dining room is great. Unfortunately the furnishings date back to the '80 and the bathroom is very poor without a real shower box...... More

Firstly, this is a fairly old hotel. One look at the lift, like something out of a silent movie, confirmed this. Once you get there, it takes a bit of work to find reception. They're up on the fifth floor, accessible via the creaky old lift. Once we found where to check in, things progressed fairly smoothly. The hotel shares... More

This hotel was an absolute gem. Right in the heart of Florence, it has great views, if you get the rooms on the square, and it is such easy access. The staff were so incredibly friendly and kind and nothing was any trouble. This is saying something given that we were a school group and sometimes we are not always... More

This hotel is in a great location. 5 mins walk distance to other important touristic attractions. Hotel front desk service is terrible. If you drive. Keep in mind there is no free street parking. Overnight parking is 26 euro.
