Cheap Hotels in Florence

"The room was a decent size, just right for two people. Breakfast was acceptable, with all the basics covered. The service was enthusiastic, and the bathroom was large and quite clean. The hotel is conveniently located directly across from the train station, making it easy to get anywhere. There's also a Carrefour supermarket just a couple of hundred meters away."

"You have to go up to the 4th floor to reach the hotel entrance, and the rooms are quite small. Breakfast was decent. The location is fairly convenient, not too far from the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, the Accademia Gallery, and the Duomo."

"I rarely encounter discrimination, but this hotel treated Chinese guests differently. I'm posting this to warn others. I arrived at the front desk at 11 AM, and an old, limping white man served me. He was very rude, but I'm not easily offended and just thought his English wasn't great. He told me to come back at 3:30 PM for check-in, which I didn't think much of since I was going to the art museum anyway. I returned at 5 PM to pick up my luggage and go to my room. The bellhop only handed us the bags and didn't help us take them to the room. Again, I didn't think much of it and just carried them myself. When the elevator reached the second floor, I realized there was still a short flight of stairs. Once in the room, I found it dark and damp. I figured maybe old European buildings were like that, so I opened the window to air it out. Then I noticed the bathroom fan wasn't working, so I called. A worker came to check and said none of the fans were in use. I asked if other rooms were as damp, and the worker said no, and suggested I ask to change rooms. I contacted the front desk, but they said there were no other rooms available. It was my second day in Europe, and I was so jet-lagged and tired that I just wanted to lie down. That's when I discovered the bed was so damp I could wring water out of it, and the nightstands were covered in dust. It was clear this room hadn't been occupied for a long time. I contacted Trip.com and the front desk again, and both told me the hotel was fully booked. Trip.com then contacted their agent. Later, a lady from the front desk called me, still with the official line that there were no rooms. I asked her why we were given such a terrible room when we checked in that morning, and if it was because we were Asian. She immediately fell silent, then asked 'pardon.' I repeated my question, and she instantly said she could switch our room. I asked when, and she said 'immediately.' We were moved to a room across the hall on the third floor, the same room type, but it was bright and dry. At first, I hadn't realized it was discrimination, but this confirmed it. I've already advised Trip.com to remove this hotel to prevent other Chinese travelers from being mistreated. If my English hadn't been good, they would have definitely taken advantage of me."

"This hotel's rooms are incredibly beautiful and clean! They provide a wide array of disposable amenities, including slippers and body lotion, which is quite rare for European hotels. Our room even had a small balcony with a lovely view of the pool downstairs and the surrounding trees. While breakfast wasn't entirely to my taste, the variety was impressive, even featuring honey with a honeycomb. The front desk offers complimentary luggage storage, which was very helpful. A thoughtful touch was the free long-handled umbrellas available for guests, especially since it happened to be raining during our stay. The only real downside is that, despite being close to Florence train station in a straight line, the walk from the station to the hotel is actually quite long. Plus, exiting the Florence station involves going down a set of stairs, which is very inconvenient with large luggage. This made the walk to the hotel feel even longer, especially with intersections where poor signal made maps unclear and it was easy to get lost. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this hotel. The internal environment is very well-maintained, and the front desk staff are patient and polite. If I have the chance to visit Florence again, I would definitely choose this hotel. The price is truly excellent value for money."

"Great hotel in a perfect location less then 10 min walk from the train station, and all the main sites of beautiful Florence. The hotel is so quirky and decorated so well just a peaceful tranquil stunning hotel with great friendly staff. Loved the decor and courtyard. Rooms are great we stayed in the fly to heaven room lovely light and airy comfy beds. The coffee snack bar joined to the hotel was also fab great for a pit stop and a croissant if you don’t have breakfast included."

"The room was a bit compact, ideal for a stopover. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was exclusively Western-style; the variety was decent, but not extensive."

"The hotel's location is excellent, and the room was very spacious. Although the bathroom was small, it had everything we needed. The breakfast service was particularly warm and friendly. The only downsides were that the air conditioning in the room was a bit noisy and the duvet/blanket was a bit thin."

"The hotel is very close to the train station, but it feels very safe. The gentleman at the front desk who checked us in was absolutely charming; he heard my husband was learning Italian and chatted with him for ages, which really made our day! Our room faced the courtyard instead of the street, so it was very quiet, and the bedding was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The breakfast spread was extensive, and I'd say it offers excellent value for money in Italy. We're very grateful for the hotel's service and ambiance, which made our two days in Florence truly enjoyable."

"The room wasn't ready yet, so they took us to the lounge to wait. We were able to check in at 1:30 PM, which was well before the usual 3 PM check-in time. The room itself was pretty good, just a tad small. The environment was lovely, and the food was delicious. The location is super convenient – just a short walk to the train station. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay."

"I stayed at two hotels in Florence, and this one was a standard, convenient hotel. However, the room was too small, and the breakfast was very mediocre. I'd recommend the other guesthouse more, comparatively. Both are within a five-minute walk from the train station. The pros are the excellent location, right next to a small square opposite the train station, so I never felt unsafe coming back late. It's also very close to all the attractions; just turn right out of the door and walk down the alley to find the Central Market and the Duomo. There's even a Chinese restaurant and a bubble tea shop downstairs."
