Sempione Hotel Florence

I really liked the hotel overall. It has an elevator, free wi-fi and free breakfast. The toilet was unusually high, I felt like I was 5 years old again as my feet dangled. One other thing, they give you a card to turn in to have your room cleaned when you are ready and they don't have do not disturb signs. Nice in theory, but in our experience housekeeping didn't get the memo and woke us up trying to clean the room. Not a huge deal and the front desk said they were going to handle, just something to be aware of.

Good hotel, location a hotel for a good price. Exclent staff

Walking distance to all major attractions; friendly and helpful staff that speak multiple languages and is available 24 hours a day; nice pressure and heat in showers; good complimentary breakfast buffet.

Good value if you need to be near train station or have an early flight. The receptioist called a taxi for us and we made our early morning flight in plenty of time. Definately walkable from the train station. Free internet was appreciated after our last hotel charged 24 euros for a 24-hour period.

Excellent location. Near the train station and walking distance to all the sights. Great air conditioner.

One minute walk to santa maria novella train station. excellent place to put your stuff while exploring florence and tuscany.

The hotel was literally a 2 minute walk from the main train station. Very convenient location with a liquor store,market, bars,and restaurants nearby. I was originally concerned with the location so close to the train station, but we went out for drinks several times and didn't run into any problems. The showers were very small, but that's how it is in Europe. If someone is a large person, they might have trouble fitting into the shower stall. Room had some traffic noise and wasn't the most romantic hotel, but easily walking distance 10-15 mins to every major site in Florence. Free breakfast and free coffee included. I would recommend this if you want something close and convenient to the train station. It was a good value considering the price.

Short 5min walk to rail station. 10 min walk to Duomo. Helpful staff. Rooms simple but clean. Good internet connectivity.

Near most attractions. Not a good hotel if you drive. There is no parking. Vehicle must stay in a remote lot with a cost of $30 per night. No food at the hotel, but numerous nearby restaurants. Heat/air available only on the designated turn on days in spring and fall. Bathrooms good. Small rooms, typically European.

The hotel is located within an easy walk from the rail station, although the pavement was a pain. The location is within a very pleasant walk to the Duomo, Uffizu, Arno, Accademia. In addition, there are plenty of eateries for all budgets in the area. Location is certainly a plus. The staff was very good overall; not as friendly as in other Italian establishments, but efficient and knowledgable. One of the staff was not amicable. The rooms are clean but small and spartan, with old style furniture and bathrooms. The air conditioner leaked occasionally, and there was an unusual smell if you opened the window. There was a simple breakfast and internet for free, which was a bonus. The elevator was extremely slow and very small for all the baggage we had take upstairs. Overall, a good experience, though not the best we have had in Italy in this price range.
