There are not enough superlatives to express how much we loved this hotel. The staff really made this place special. Each day they treated us like we had been there forever. The breakfast (included) is made to your order each morning; very good. This hotel was very walkable to many attractions and is very close to the central station. My only regret is that we did not spend more time in Florence. This hotel really was the cherry on top of Florence, thanks to the staff.

A beautiful small hotel, very quiet, and has a staff who is available to help with any matter. The wifi is good enough for Zoom meetings, the location is perfect (2 2-block walk to the historic area), and the breakfast is delicious with lots of different options. The only place I will stay whenever I come to Florence!

Lovely hotel in nice area close to the train station. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. The Hotel also has a restaurant affiliated to it. We ate there one evening and it was really good. Very popular, even in November. You would be advised to book as queues to eat there can be long. Would definitely recommend this Hotel

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We spent time in breakfast cafeteria meeting the staff and having fantastic conversations meeting new people and new perspectives. Close to Mercato Centrale we walked and found many delicious food choices and were lucky enough to experience live music that evening middle of lots of art and basilicas was a nice few days wandering around. I could do without the high end shopping in the middle of the old beauty

We are so happy we stayed at Hotel La Scala for our four-night stay in Florence. We chose this hotel due to the location, but the real charm is how the staff make you feel so welcome. Prior to arrival we received a personalized with details of our stay (not a canned message) and the staff take the time to get to you know you during your stay. Before retiring for the first night, we were asked to share our breakfast preferences from a selection of options, and the breakfast was made to order. This is not only practical to avoid the hotel from wasting food, but the personalized service was a great way to start the day. The location of the hotel is close to the train station and within walking distance of most attractions. A BIG THANK YOU to the staff for contributing to a memorable vacation.
