Not the friendliest staff, the bed is extremely uncomfortable and the layout of the room doesn’t make too much sense. There is a school wall2wall so you can imagine how noisy the hotel was.

Spacious rooms in a great location

I really enjoyed my stay at the Relais Modern. While the room was basic, it was spacious, clean, it had everything I needed and it was comfortable. The location was also excellent, only a 5min walk to the Accademia Gallery, 10mins to the Duomo and 20mins to everywhere else in the city. There was also a bus stop right outside. It may have not been the most romantic hotel if that’s what you’re after, but for a solo traveller, friends or family trip it was great.

This hotel was simply AMAZING. Clean and big room and bathroom. Super comfy and quiet. And the staff was so nice and welcoming. The cute little breakfast area was perfect to get your day started. Easy to access. Close to the city center. We’ll come back! :) grazie mille!

Cozy and quiet hotel near main tourist sites

We came as a family of 4 (2 teenagers) and loved our rooms at Relais Modern. The rooms were very clean, spacious, and well air conditioned. Perfect location. About a 10 min walk to Il Duomo and other sites, so we were in a quiet neighbourhood out of the main tourist clog. I would absolutely stay here again.

Fist off, this property is not conveniently located, and the breakfast was very poor. Basically just cold meats and cheeses. However, the worst part of the entire experience was the hotel’s handling of us having to leave a day early. The front desk leaves at 1pm, so there is no way of handling issues that may arise. On the morning that we needed to leave, we immediately went to the desk and explained our situation. We were told that it would be no problem, we just needed Expedia to call and okay the refund for the night. However, when Expedia called, the same desk agent told them that he would not allow a refund, and Expedia wanted to escalate it to management. As we left, the front desk assured us that it would be taken care of (did not make sense). A few days later, we received an email from Expedia stating that no refund could be issued in reference to the cancellation policy. But, the cancellation policy referenced did not match what is listed in the hotel’s website. I’d stay far away from Relais Modern.

Met our needs, great air conditioning and quiet, a little outside the city center, but nothing great, next time I’m in Florence, I’ll probably look for another place to stay. Check in and check out was very quick and easy.

Spacious rooms

The rooms were very spacious and squeaky clean. The bed was extremely confortable and large for a stay in Europe. The place is a little far from the train station and the old city of Florence but has plenty of bus stations around to get around the city. If you don’t mind a bit of a walk into town or staying in a larger group, recommended.

Pretty place

Rooms are big, really pretty and very clean. It's a 10-12 min walk from main church of Florence, so location is good. Hotel is in the first floor of a building so can be little hard to find it, but overall is not a huge problem. We stayed for only one night but if we go back to Florence we are going to stay again in this hotel for sure.

Not so much a hotel and more of a B&B, though its a nice modern style, with nice rooms and the staff was friendly. It's in easy reach of the town center and all the attractions. Breakfast wasn't up to much in my opinion, I would have liked a lot more variety. The air conditioning was sufficient, though it didn't circulate the room well enough to reach the other side.

A B&B

I hope that they will have iron and coffee maker in the room for a 4-star hotel. Actually, it is more like a B&B place. not sure why it is called a hotel. The picture is really misleading. It is very small and dark inside, not big at all. The breakfast is ok. But the reception is ok. You cannot call it the front desk and it only open to 1:00pm only. I am still not quite sure why it is called a hotel.
