On arriving in Firenze by car we parked at the station and used the tourist hotel booking facility there. The Albion was the only place they could (somewhat grumpily) find for us, After a bizarre drive down many one-way streets we found the place and the signorina on the desk immediately made us feel most welcome. We were directed to... more

My family of 4 (myself, my wife and kids ages 10 and 7) plus my parents had a great time while at the Albion. First of all, Sara and Massimo's great service and cheeful disposition made it a great trip. Sara helped us getting reservations and tours for the Palazzo Vechio and Uffizi. Location is great, 5 minutes walking to... more

We stayed at the Albion based on a recommendation from our travel agent. As a number of reviewers have mentioned it's a quirky sort of a place with lots of "artefacts" to keep you amused. It's only a short walk from the station and about ten minutes into the centre of Florence. What makes this place special are Massimmo and... more

This was a lovely hotel to stay at in Florence, because of the warm welcome from Sara and her father, who also provided lots of useful information. If you don't mind stairs (great for burning off all that gelati) the rooms at the top are very spacious. If I'm lucky enough to return to Florence I will stay here again. more

Hotel Albion won't win any awards for its luxury, sophistication, or being the most salubrious hotel in Florence. But if awards were given for hospitality, generosity and kindness, the Hotel Albion would surely be right at the top. This small, family-run hotel is authentic, renaissance Florence. On the outside, the plaster on the walls is falling away. On the inside,... more

A nice hotel with friendly hosts - thanks Sara for the warm welcome. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the train station which is also the bus terminal plus a bus stop across the street of the hotel and also only a 10 minute walk to so many wounderful places to see. Room was clean including the... more

Hotel Albion was a great find in Florence. Definitely not super fancy but the room was clean and the staff was wonderful. Family run and owned. Daughter of the owner, Sara, works the front desk and she is a total doll. She's very knowledgeable about the area and gives great recommendations for restaurants. 10 minute walk into the center of... more

This was my third stay at Hotel Albion and I cannot imagine staying anywhere else in Florence. While the hotel is certainly not considered "fancy" the people who run the hotel, Sara and her dad, Massimo, certainly make the whole experience a wonderful one. From the minute you step in the door you are treated like family and they go... more

This hotel is within easy walking distance of any site you wish to visit. Sara is a fount of information and extremely helpful, friendly, etc. A real treat. Great breakfasts and not too expensive, either. Strongly recommended. more
