This was an excellent base for a 3 night stay in Florence. We were warmly welcomed by English speaking staff, who gave us good local information. It was ideally placed for a visit to the Fiorentini football ground, just a15min. walk away. A good bus service into the city (No 14) ran from the bottom of the road. There were... more

My wife and I travelled to Florence for the first time this October. In booking the hotel, we knew it was slightly outside the city center and was told by several people on the forum that we made a bad choice. They were all dead wrong! The hotel was about a 10 minute walk from the Duomo, but on a... more

the hotel was a bit of trek from the station especially as we arrived in the baking heat with backpacks. but actually it is a short walk to reach the centre once you've reached the hotel. the lady on the desk didn't speak english but it really didn't matter because she was still super helpful. room was really big with... more

There are many many good things about this hotel - the staff are friendly, breakfast is simple but all you need, bikes are cheap to hire for the day (5 euros), chamber maids clean the room daily with fresh towel and toiletries, the local area is great for shopping and for food and the access to town is brilliant with... more

Even though we were there many years ago, everything sounds as if it is just as wonderful. We loved the staff, clean rooms, wonderful breakfast, and felt as if we were not tourists but locals because of the area and the great people at the hotel. Very near the Arno - which was wonderful. more

Travelled with elderly parents and stayed at Orcagna for four nights, what a delightful hotel with extremely helpful staff. We needed a wheelchair and this was easily arranged for 3 days at only 15 euros. The rooms were airy, clean and bright. We used the mini bar for a cold beer on return to our room - only 2 euros.... more

The Orcagna is a really nice hotel in a quiet, mostly residential area east of the city centre (about 20-30 minutes’ walk from the Uffizi/Ponte Vecchio). The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, the rooms are comfortable, and the breakfast is good. We had rooms at the back of the hotel, on the first floor, with balconies overlooking gardens, so... more
