25hours Hotel Florence Piazza San Paolino

10/10 Excellent

"Great location within easy walking distance to both the bus and train terminals, making it super convenient for getting around. Many attractions are also nearby, so it’s easy to explore the area on foot. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Nice little touches like complimentary water and beer in the fridge were a pleasant surprise. The room also had pour-over coffee, which was a great bonus. The bed was very comfortable, and the bedding was soft and cozy—perfect for a good night’s rest. Overall, a really enjoyable and comfortable stay."

Aurum Firenze

6/10 Okay

"It's clearly a block of flats that has been converted to a hotel. My room was a bit cramped but for a few nights, I could live with it. There is a slight smell which in high summer is likely to be prominent. If you don't expect a 5 star experience, then it's OK. My room was clean, the staff friendly enough and walking distance to all the major sights. If I was back in Florence, would I stay there again, probably not, but I've no real complaints. Just don't expect too much and you'll be fine."

Hotel Boccaccio

10/10 Excellent

"Great location at center of Florence yet very close to the train station! Very quiet at night, much needed after long days of bus tours etc. Bed was very comfortable, linens very soft The buffet breakfast was great. The coffee served by staff was delicious and also serving Americano coffee exceptional! Best of all, the staff work very hard to maintain the exceptional comforts of this hotel. Following up with how the room is, and always willing to help including the cleaning ladies for rooms! Work ethic, above and beyond for the travellers. Great hotel, best staff! Thank you for making our first time stay in Florence exceptional! "
