Easy to find & convinent location near train station. Loved the free internet. 24hr reception which was helpful. High ceilings, good sized bathrooms for Italy. The ceiling needed new paint but overall the rooms were very nice. Breakfast was good, yogurt, cereal, fruit, meat, cheese, pastries, juice and cappucino. Very pleasant. more

Never having been to Florence before we booked this hotel mainly on the basis of Tripadvisor recommendations and were not disappointed. It is ideally located less than 5 minutes walk from the main railway station and 5 minutes walk the other way takes you to the centre of the city and the Cathederal. It is on a quiet semi-pedestrionised road... more

Good location .. close to the train station, and restaurants. A short walk to the Duomo etc. Great service .. the staff were exceptional. The rooms were disappointing, while spacious felt lacking. The bathroom and shower could certainly have done with a bit of cleaning. more

I stayed at the Porta Faenza a few years ago. I was looking for a place to rest on my last night after a month in Florence, I am so glad I chose this hotel again. I arrived with my bags at 11AM and after just a few minutes was shown my beautiful room. The reception staff could not have... more

We absolutely loved staying at Porta Faenza. It was our favorite of the four hotels we visited in Italy. First of all, the location is absolutely perfect. It is only two blocks from the train station and bus station, but even better, it is located on a quiet street in the best part of Florence. We would stop back by... more

Loved it. Quaint hotel. Easy walking distance from everything. Room was good sized. Only down side was breakfast exactly the same every morning. more

Hotel Porta Faenza is situated right in the heart of Florence, walkable to all the major attractions of the city as well as the train station. However, it was a bit tricky to find as you have to understand the utterly bizarre numbering system for street addresses in Florence (businesses in Black, homes in Red, or the other way around,... more

We just got home from a trip to Italy, booking rooms in Venice and Florence based on Trip Advisor reviews. This Florence hotel certainly lived up to its great reviews. The location, a couple of blocks from the train station and a 15 minute ride from the airport, is excellent. The neighbourhood offers great shopping, restaurants and major tourist attractions... more
