Great Little Hotel
Close to the Dromo 10 mins walk, only thing hotel could do with coffee/Tea making facilities in the room so 1 star off, 15 mins max walk from Railway Station close to lots of restaurants and shops. Staff very helpful.

Nice, clean, but a bit of a walk.
Nice modern hotel in Florence. Rooms were equipped with modern TV's and suprisingly good cooling system for hot summer trips. The lobby was stocked with plenty of good travel books and flyers. The hotel is a bit far away from the main attractions, but overall, it was worth the walk.

Time-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
Making reservations at the big museums was helpful in getting to see the major attractions in just our short time in Florence. Especially during peak travel times, I highly recommend going this route.

Amazingly modern and clean Hotel
Very near Florence city center the "Duomo". Modern Hotel with very courteous staff. No need to use a lift it is located on the first floor. That is a really good thing when hauling bags when you are travelling and moving in and out of the Hotel. Pleaseant breafasts. Quiet and restful if you need that. Spacious room to sprawl out and not feel hemmed in.

Nice place, but out of way location
The hotel room was large and modern. The hotel was in a quiet part of town, maybe 15 minutes walk north of the main church, or a 5 minute bus ride. The hotel is a Bed and Breakfast type hotel, so there was no one to check us in when we arrived. The keys were left for us. This was my 4th trip to Florence, so I would recommend staying between the main church and the Ponte Vecchio if you want to stay where the action is, and can afford it.
