Was very pleased with this hotel; we had two rooms for three nights; convenient to the station and to all the sights in Florence. Good restaurant a few steps away, as others have noted (Enzo and Piero?); very good price; my room was large; we were on the first floor, behind the front desk. Tile floors; clean; good front desk... more

My husband, his 81-year-old mother, & his sister, spent 1 night in 2 rooms at Porta Faenza. The location was ideal, close to the train station & within walking distance to all the attractions. The staff at the front desk all spoke good English & were extremely helpful. My husband & I had a large room with a king-bed that... more

I stayed at the Porta Faenza in early November for 3 nights when in Florence. The hotel is on a very cute, old street in downtown Florence. It is very close to the train station but a little walk (10-15 mins) to most of the attractions. Everywhere in Florence is walkable though so this is not a big inconvenience. The... more

Porta Faenza is a good three star hotel. It is well situated, has very friendly and helpful staff, and is it relatively quiet in the amazing city of Florence. The rooms are adequate, nothing spectacluar but I don't think you could have many complaints, if any. Considering its Florence, I have no idea why anyone would want to lounge around... more

We stayed 6 nights at the Porta Faenza hotel and found it good value for money. It's well located, quiet, and clean. The reception staff were always friendly and courteous, and gave helpful suggestions for restaurants and tours etc, and we didn't get the impression they were selling anything that gave them a kickback. The only (slight) negatives were the... more

We stayed for 4 nights in a quad room. After a splurge in Venice we had booked something more sensible for Florence and at an amazing rate of just €110 including breakfast for all 4 of us (family with two sons 13 and 11) we were a little dubious. The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Bathroom is basic... more

It was close to SMN train station, which was good, and close to a lot of the sites of Florence (it is a relatively small city), but I really didn't like our bathroom. I guess we got "lucky" and got the handicapped room, the water from the shower would go from scorching hot to freezing cold. We ended up having... more

Pros: - Close to the train station, but not an easy walk with roller-bags because of the crowds and cobble-stone streets. Short walk from Duomo and everything in the center, very convenient. - Room was nice and airy, very pleasant. Cons: - WiFi was free, but signal was very weak in the room. We had to sit in the lobby... more

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Tuscany and Cinque Terre. Stayed the first four and last four days of our trip at the Hotel Porta Faenza, mainly because of reviews on Tripadvisor. We are so glad that we did and echo all the great things every one else has said - the place is charming, great staff,... more
