Florence Hotels

Great experience at the Panorama. It was our first time to florence and with so much to see/do over the 3 days, we only needed a bed to sleep in at night and clean towels which the hotel provided. It pretty much does everything it says on the tin, clean room, cheap price and a good location. Its about 10 minutes walk from Duomo and 15/20 to the Uffuzi which makes a nice little walk in the morning/evening to and from the hotel and around 20 mins through the centre to the train station. The hotel staff were helpful when needed and I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are touring florence on a budget for a few days and just need a bed to sleep in for the right price and location.

Séjour du 2 au 6 mai 2012. Hôtel très bien situé (à 5mins à pieds du Duomo !). Nous avons pu tout faire à pied. L'hôtellerie à Florence est réputée chère et vieillote. Certes, l'hôtel n'est pas de première jeunesse, mais la chambre est propre et calme. Le petit déjeuner est bien (sous forme de buffet - dommage que le jus soit chimique !). Le personnel de l'hôtel est très agréable. Nous sommes arrivés à 21h, et avons été très bien reçus avec une petite visite de l'hôtel ! La terrasse au dernier étage offre une vue magnifique de Florence (tout comme la véranda du petit déjeuner). N'hésitez pas à leur demander des conseils sur les restaurants. A RECOMMANDER...

Points positifs:- Belle chambre pour 4- Hotel très bien placé- Personnel agréable et donnant de bons conseils (parking)Points ngatfs:- Petit déjeuner liit en quantité et qualité

The Hotel Centro is ideally located, less than a 5 minute walk from the Duomo and 10 from the Piazza della Signoria. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were incredibly polite and helpful. The only complaint is the walls are rather thin, so noisy neighbors could be problematic, but for the price it's a great quality!

Un po' rumorosa la camera per via del traffico

The rooms are quite large and reasonably furnished. The location is quite good - close to restaurants, etc, and not far from the main train station (SMN). It is also walking distance to Florence's main tourist attractions. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Some speak English better than others but we did not have any major problems trying to communicate with them. There is an Internet PC provided in the hotel lobby for a small charge - the fees are very reasonable. The only real negatives about this hotel are: (1) it is located on the corner of two busy streets so light sleepers may want to look elsewhere, and (2) there is no elevator at the hotel, so bags must be carried up 2 flights of stairs; however, the hotel staff are more than willing to offer assistance if needed. The 2 best things about this hotel are its price and location within walking distance to the main tourist attractions.

Llegamos en la noche y estaba cerrado y no habia nadie que abriera la puerta. Cuando finalmente pudimos entrar gracias a que otros huespedes estaban saliendo, llamamos por telefono a los dueños y nos dan la noticia de que nos habian cambiado de hotel a uno de media estrella. Fatal, sucio, ruidoso, frio, etc.

All good. Lovely people extended their hospitality well beyond the basics with breakfasts, wireless, suggestions and meticulous cleaning!

Arrivé par la gare, 10 mn a pieds et nous étions à l’hôtel :) L’hôtesse d'accueil un peu migraineuse quand nous lui avons dit que nous ne parlions pas italien :( La clef de la chambre en main il nous a fallut a peu près le meme temps pour accéder à la chambre dans un dédale de couloirs et d'escaliers étroits. (bagages lourds s'abstenir).La chambre est correct mais sans plus et la clim ne fonctionne pas :( Nous l'avons signalé avant de repartir pour visiter le centre qui se trouve à 3 mn. A notre retour (autre hôtesse très cool) la clim renvoi de l'air chaud et couvre le bruit de nos ronflements :)) Nous repartions le lendemain pour d'autres aventures... Hotel très bien placé et Firenze fais tout oublié :) Je garde l'adresse.

The best point about this hotel is its good rate for the location.

Close to attractions. Hesitated due to the fact it was two stars....but what a misconception. The staff is wonderful and accomodating. They are very pleasant. Perfect location. Very quite location. I would stay here again and again. The only hassle is Internet. They should at least make internet free at the lobby. Or lower the rate because internet really isn't luxury it is a necessity.

This hotel has a great location!! 3 minutes walk from the train station!! Within walk distance to the main attractions in florence. The staff are very friendly and helpful..they speak,english, Spanish, and of course Italian.

Scarsa gestione, utile se si vuole risparmiare.... il climatizzarore nelle stanze è finto accendono i ventilatori e si muore di caldo. Prima colazione molto scarsa meglio al bar.

a notre arrivée, la chambre qu'on nous a attribuée n'était pas celle réservée : un lit deux place donné contre une chambre à deux lits. l'hotel est trés sale et vétuste. difficle à trouver et à se garer. le petit déjeuner est limite et de mauvaise qualité.et l'accueil est minimum. je ne le conseille à personne

Near the center of Florence (about 5 minutes walk). No additional service but the staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are very different, some have air conditioning, some not, some overlook the garden, others on the street. You must either be lucky when booking, or call the hotel to specify type of rooms you want. The rooms were noisy and very hot. Recommended for young people not too demanding, not for families or couples on honeymoon.

Trevligt men enkelt hotell. Perfekt placerat med bara ett par minuters promenad till markusplatsen och 15 minuter till centralstationen. Mycket bra frukost.

My overall experience with hotel maxim was perfect. Upon arriving, we were greated with a warm welcome by one of the hotels front desk staff. I forgot her name but it should be mentioned that she took the time to explain the area to us and also gave us great recommendations on local tours and places to eat. The hotels location can't be any better being that you are just steps away from all the great sights in Florence and a few minute walk from the train station. Their breakfast is perfect consisting of warm croissants and tea. Remember that European people don't have massive breakfast plates that we are accustomed to in the US.

This hotel is on the 3rd and 4th floors of a building right between the Duomo and Florence's main plaza, so the location couldn't be better. We got a clean, basic room for about 100 euros/night, with continental breakfast and wifi included. Staff was friendly and helpful, but the 10 am check-out time was a bit much (though hotel has free luggage storage). Street noise was also an issue, as we were woken up at 7 am by god awful garbage/recycling trucks outside, with the sound of cascading glass bottles ringing in our ears. Also, no elevator to 4th floor, so ask for 3rd floor is you have heavy luggage. Still, a pretty good place for the $ given the location.

The quality of Plus Florence is more of a hotel than a hostel. I booked a private room with two friends and we ended up getting a huge room with a small kitchen and our own private bathroom! The hostel also had an information desk that was helpful when finding out what to do in Florence. Highly recommended!

We were a little disappointed by Plus Florence. I'd read some really good reviews about the place and was expecting something much better. I have stayed in much nicer hostels, perhaps our room just wasn't as good as some of the dorms as it was a private one. The bed wasn't the most comfortable and it felt like we were sleeping in an office due to the roof tiles and the lighting! Also 2 out of 3 of the plug sockets weren't available for use so it meant hair drying/straightening was done without a mirror and charging phones had to just hang from a height! The bathroom however was really nice although the toilet seat didn't appear to fit properly! The breakfast was very average so we went elsewhere on the 2nd day. Florence is a beautiful city with lots to do. The location of the hostel was great and I could sense it would have been good for young backpackers. Maybe it just wasn't suitable for couples! The pool was a lot smaller than I expected and also quite cold! I thought the place was also quite scruffy in parts.

alles korrekt für diesen sehr gunstigen preis, dies in mitten florenz zur hauptsaison.

Wirklich zentrale Lage, sehr ruhig, schöner Garten, Zentrum zu Fuß erreichbar innerhalb 5 - 7 min zum Dom, Bahnhof, Markt, Südstadt. Einziges Manko: Frühstücksbufftet mediteran

It was very nice price and good condition but when I visited, it was late night and hard to find hotel.

I thought the hotel was good and the staff was really great, however it was a bit noisy. We were toward the back and there must have been a patio or something under our window because it was quite loud. Also, the Internet was SUPER slow. However, I mentioned it and hopefully they will try to fix it moving forward. All in all, a good hotel for the money. Very clean, free breakfast. Stay here if you don't mind a 15 min walk into town and try to get a front room!

Overall, I my 20 year old daughter and I had a good experience at the hotel. I booked the room the morning we arrived - it was the cheapest available online in all of Zurich. The highlight was the morning staff! We arrived at 1000 and our room was not ready yet (their check in policy is I think 14 or 1500). The young lady who spoke perfect English took time to give us detailed recommendations and instructions on places to visit, and stored our bags in the front office while we toured old-town Zurich. I am an airline pilot and I stay in hotels hundreds of times a year. I pay close attention to details. Our room was on the second floor. There is a SMALL elevator, but it delivers you to the base of the six steps up to the room (you must carry your bags up steps, regardless of the elevator). The room itself was small (about 4mx4m). There are no chairs in the room, but instead two stools. There is no closet, but instead large hanging rods with hangars available. The view from the window is of a neighborhood and parking lot. The walls are painted white, but one was a vivid purple. There are overhead lights (not common in American hotels) and wall lamps. There was a large mirror situated next to a small flat screen TV on the wall (the remote did not work (we operated it manually). The twin sized beds utilize a memory foam mattress which both my daughter and I found comfortable. They have a computer in the lobby for internet and free wifi available. There is no air conditioning, but we did not need it in mid-September. The hotel is located in somewhat of a sketchy part of town, but that also lent to lower costs for food. There is a bar around the corner next to the bus stop, and a "take-away" fast food place across the street. I expected to find homeless people or grifters in the neighborhood, but there were none. The hotel is located four stops from the main rail station; it's a walk-able distance, but not with baggage. Public transportation in Zurich is amazing, and the hotel is well situated to take advantage of it. Overall, I would not hesitate to stay there again, but don't expect American resort amenities.

This is one of the best Holiday Inns I and my wife have stayed at. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I would recommend my family and friends traveling to Florence Italy this hotel.

Good location if you have a car. Free parking.

Breakfast for the first two days was a little more hearty, but after the tour from Germany left it became a little more Spartan, but there was still enough to fill you up. Floors in room were tile and needed to be cleaned/mopped as you could notice it on a a pair of white socks. 15 minute walk to the Dumo. Staff was very helpful. 10 mins to the Academia.

personale gentile, disponibile e cordiale .... nello spirito fiorentino! unica pecca, l'ascensore un po' piccolo

Hôtel très bien situé, calme, propre, personnel accueillant et aimable. A recommander.

This is a true value hotel... We stayed here for two nights as we made a rapid tour of italy. The hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk from the train station (awesome)... The hotel is very old and our first room smelled really bad and we complained and got a better smelling room (great customer service)... The owners were very nice... The rooms were very basic but clean... Bed was old but sheets clean and comfy... The bathrooms were new and clean... The breakfast was a real surprise since it was fresh and plentiful...they had cappuccinos!! ... Wifi was great and free.. Overall it is a really clean, well situated hotel with all the basics for a short stay on a budget... The staff was terrific and the breakfast was above average...

The Kursaal and Ausonia hotel was a delightful spot from which to explore Florence, conveniently located to both the train and the sights, yet still fairly quiet. Our two night stay was in early November, so the weather was pleasant, but we still had to close the windows due to mosquitos, something that would be an issue in the hot days of summer, with no AC. The room was pleasantly if sparsely furnished; nice antique-feeling rustic wooden pieces, and a glazed tile floor, albeit with no carpet. What I didn't like was minor, but stupid enough to irritate. A double bed here is two twins under one sheet. Not comfortable if you aren't the couple who sleeps in the middle of your own space. The tiny, tiny, elevator probably explains this, but really: Carry a full size mattress up the stairs! The other irritant is what passes for WiFi. It's a deal at E15. for 30 days, but only until you use it. At times it leaps to a page with the alacrity we expect from the Web, then you go to another page and the server is lost because it takes so long to make the connection. Streaming? Ha! Either do away with the WiFi offer, or get a credible system, it's no amenity to have something that doesn't work. That said, the shower was comfortably sized, the water pressure and hot water fine and consistent. Walls are paper thin, which could be an issue but not when we were there. And, if you get a third floor room on the back (we had #15) you'll delight in a Hollywood-quality view of Il Duomo over the rooftops of the picturesque homes, below. We very much enjoyed our stay here and would return.

The hotel was very easy to get to, only a 10 minute walk from SMN train station. We had to leave our stuff there but they were willing to accommodate our luggage and even put it in the room when it was ready as we were not going to be around at that time. the hotel was simple, but good. On a budget it is a highly recommended place to go. The service was good. the room was okay, the breakfast was alright. not a five start but definitely a decent place to crash for a few nights in Florence.
