We just returned from a four night stay at the La Fortezza. The hotel staff was very nice and accommodating, particularly when we needed a room change due to excessive noise in the rooms around us. Even after the room change, we could still hear noise. This is not a hotel for people who are light sleepers! The hotel and... more

Though it was our first time to book a hotel through internet, we found something really far above our expectations. The location is ideal. A 20 minutes walk from the city center or in just 5 minutes by bus, in a peaceful neighborhood. The room was a total worth of money. Big, comfortable and very clean it really made us... more

We arrived at this hotel in Florence after a short stay in Venice. The hotel there had a wonderful location but it was a little bit old-fashioned, so we were glad to see that the second accommodation in our trip around Italy was far more modern. It was also quite good located: at about ten minutes from the wonderful Duomo... more

We stayed here in March 2008. I had heard great things about the hotel on this page but was a little dissapointed (that's not to say the experience was bad) The room was good for a 3 star and it was nice to have a fridge and safe but we were allocated a room on the ground floor. The wall... more

Four of us stayed here and four of us loved it. What great value for money. Rooms are clean, comfortable and well decorated. The staff are very friendly and helpful; the location is safe and within 20 minutes walk of the major attractions. We thought we might be some way out at first but were so pleased that we had... more

Great Hotel! Not exactly in the center of the city but anywhere you want to go was a 10min walk away. Located near a nice peaceful park. The hotel was great, service was outstanding! Very friendly employees. Breakfast was delicious and the rooms were clean and decent- no different then any other European hotel. more

This is indeed a lovely hotel to stay in Florence. The pictures on the website give the illusion that it is big. The hotel is a nice size but very clean and nicely done out. The rooms are a good size and the bathroom is also a good size. The restaurant is a small room with an adjoining small kitchen.... more

This was a great hotel. It was decorated very stylishly, nice clean room, modern decor. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It's a bit outside of central Florence, but close to the train station. The hotel staff recommended a great local restaurant around the corner called Chirola our first night. They had great food (we had carbonara and a... more

La Fortezza is a clean, comfortable, somewhat stylish hotel about 20 minutes walk from the main tourist areas of Florence. The staff is extremely helpful - the manager spent 20 minutes with us calling restaurants for a New Year's Eve reservation. The location is nice, but not very convenient. It's a great value for money, and if you don't mind... more
