Although a bit difficult to find initially, Albergo Firenze is an amazing location - about 2 blocks from the Duomo with easy access to Via Calz and really everything. We are a mother-daughter (62 & 32) duo from southern California who just returned from 2 weeks in Italy. There are two functioning elevators, the rooms are adequately sized, the bathrooms... more

It's true what everyone else has said about this hotel - the location is brilliant. You really can't knock it - the Duomo is literally 2 streets away. It took about 15mins to walk to the main station and 10mins to the San Lorenzo market. Although it is on a dark alleyway there is a church directly across the road... more

I had booked this hotel for my trip and got here and simply could not stay here. The location was great, however, the hotel is down this narrow alley and as a single female traveller I did not feel safe staying here. If you are looking for a 2 star hotel it is fine, however, for the price I was... more

We live in Rome and have stayed at this hotel three times with various guests (older parents, older teens, middle-agers) who wanted to see Florence. We love the location. We were able to walk to the hotel from the train station within 15 minutes, and from the hotel EVERYTHING is accessible by walking (we like to walk!). The rooms are... more

We stayed here on the night of August 21st, 2009 in room 320. This room had an airconditioner that just was not doing the job. Got up at 11;30 pm and went downstairs to the front desk. The young man at the front desk came upstairs, tweaked something and said it should be ok in 10 minutes. An hour later... more

Barbara at the front desk made any other problem we might have had melt from our memory. She went above and beyond every time we interacted with her. I witnessed her speaking English, French, German and of course Italian with such fluency that I have no idea where she's from. The hotel is no frills. But it IS clean and... more

The hotel is in the middle of Florence, close to all the shopping and musuems. The rooms are big, but very basic. There is no charm to it. The towels provided were very thin. They were basically large kitchen towels. And the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. I asked for an iron, and they could not provide one.... more

Stayed here in May 09. Reception staff helpful and English was good. Breakfast acceptable, cereal,juice, crossiant,yoghurt. Not very happy about being ordered out of our Room for cleaning at 1.30 in the afternoon. We had been out all morning, and it was getting hot, we thought we would come back to our room and rest from 1 to 2 and... more

Albergo Firenze has a fantastic location, within walking distance of almost all the main attractions in Florence. There are no shortage of good to great restaurants, bars, and coffee shops nearby. (Do yourself a favor, skip the hotel "breakfast" and have a hot chocolate and pastry at the shop directly across the street, it's amazing) Two big downsides. The staff... more
