hotel lobby
Hotel Azzi is an ecological oasis in the very centre of Florence, in the picturesque pedestrian district of San Lorenzo. The property is a short walk from the central station and the Fortezza-Palaffari and only 5 minutes from Piazza Duomo.
The property is the typographer Barbera's old building, originally part of a 14th century convent that used to host wayfarers and pilgrims: this mix of culture and hospitality remains in the friendly, excentric and charming atmosphere.
The hotel is decorated with paintings made by Florentine artists who have stayed there, and special soirées, exhibitions and concerts are often organized.

Compared to other hotels in the same price class, Azzi i great value for money. Close to the train station and easy access to the attractions of florence. Freindly staff, comfortable beds and a decent breakfast, the perfect travellers hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay in the "yellow room", a quad for our family of 4. At first we were a bit unsure as the room was slightly below ground level and a bit musty smelling, but opening the window fixed that. The hotel was hard to locate by car, but once we got there it was just perfect. The parking garage picked up our car from in front of the hotel and brought it back when we needed it. Very centrally located. The breakfast was fantastic with lots of choices. The front desk people were all very helpful. I had to work on my laptop and they have a wi-fi network that you can access from the lobby/breakfast area. Would definitely return!

Very convenient for the train station and mainsites in Florence. The property advertised is an Albergo and actually next door to the Hotel AZZI ! There are a number of residential establishments next door also, which makes the whole thing very confusing. The Albergo Azzi is situated on the ground and first floor (the one above ground). There is no lift, wasn't a problem. Staff were very good, as helpful as you would need. Property in a semi pedestrianised road. Good restuarant just down the road also. Main problem was the noise in the hotel. Floors uncarpeted and very strong door closing gadgets. The result was continuous door slamming from early hours and the sound of heels and luggage rolling reverberating about. Shame as the owners have made efforts to make the place interesting and the staff were great. Will not return.

This was an outstanding value in a very expensive Italian city. Would recommend without hesitation. Huge rooms. Must be a little open-minded with the bathroom setup, but we were very comfortable in these rooms. Very convenient to the train station in a quiet part of town. Great restaurants nearby. Steer clear of the older lady who I believe cleans and maintains the common spaces. Everyone else, including Johnny, the late night desk clerk, were welcoming, friendly and incredibly helpful. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This is more like a hostel. The web totally flatters the property. Attitude at reception good until there is a problem. Faced with no breakfast at 9:30am we complained and the solution...go buy some and we will take 5 euro off your bill!!! They claim not to have a hotel manager which is probabaly true. The room smelled until the air conditioning came on. We walked into an unmanned reception one night and took our own key from an unlocked cabinet!!! Reality vs Perception is very poor!! When we queried the staff at reception regarding a safe we were told they dont have to provide one as it is 2 star hotel. We told them that 2 star hotel in Rome provided safes and were told well go and stay in Rome!!!!! Nice thing to say to tourists (NOT)!!!

While budget was a concern, we would have likely paid a bit more for better surroundings. This being said the staff was friendly and helpful and there was nothing in particular that we found fault with. Just a couple notches down the scale from what we would have preferred.

The location was acurate and easily accessible from SMN train station. The check-in/check-out was quick and easy. The front desk staff was knowledgeble. Of the 3 rooms rented, only problem was an A/C drainage blockage one night which caused a small flood. Quickly fixed the next day. Enjoyable stay with the exception of street noise. (The street is being torn up and repaired.) Short walk to tourist sites.

This hotel has so much character and it is in such a great location! We stayed here our last night in Italy and wish we would have known to stay there earlier in our trip. We loved our room, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay at the Azzi on our next trip to Florence - highly recommended!

excellent hotel!! location is superb and the rooms are divine...the only downside was the shower in the bathroom which had no box so the whole room was flooded by end

This hotel has some very nice qualities -it is in a quiet area, close to all main attractions (museums, central market, Duomo).Unfortunately, the bathroom in our room("Blue"), while being very specious and recently renovated (painted in rather weird combo of bright colors), can be considered a serious health hazard. Due to complete absence of ventilation in a bathroom, all walls were covered with visible spores of mold, with stale moisture having no way to escape but into the living area. Unless this issue is addressed and ventilation is installed, this particular room must not be offered!

We were first time visitors to the Azzi. My wife, teenage daughter and I stayed in a comfortable, utilitarian room. This is a typical older property located on an alley like street so don't expect parking close by. We were on foot so it didn't matter. The staff was helpful and the room was clean. If you are used to typical small European hotels you will be fine with the Azzi. My wife and I didn't arrive at the hotel until weel into the evening. My daughter arrived at the hotel seperately much earlier in the day and the staff was kind enought to let my daughter check in on our behalf. I did email ahead to request the courtesy. The public spaces have an interesting charm and character to them as they are decorated with old pictures and furniture.

Hotel AZZI is located near Station. and I find it easy. This travel is first time in Florence. My trip was very nice. Sometime when I will have chance back to Florence, I considerate AZZI.

It was our first visit to Florence.Hotel Azzi is very central,within reach of the rail way station and the main atractions of this wonderful city.The room and the bathroom facilities were clean.The breakfast was good.The staff were efficient,especially those at the front office who helped us get around.We enjoyed our stay and indeed we recomend this hotel to our friends.

This was our first stay at Hotel Azzi and we stayed there just one night. But based on price, location, and quality of the rooms we'd gladly stay there again. The location provided easy access to the train station as well as the heart of the old city. It was also a relatively quiet location within proximity to nice restaurants and cafes. This was a plus. The staff was nice and knowledgeable and we appreciated that. The breakfast room was a bit cramped and crowded but that would be my only knock on the place. Otherwise we found the quality comensurate with the price.

I was really surprised to find out that the bathroom we were to use was down the hall: I think we were the only ones who didn't have the bathroom inside the room. I had requested, once we got there, to switch to a room on the 1st floor, and was told that they were full. A couple walked in looking for a room, and got one that same day, ON THE FIRST FLOOR!! I was disappointed by their dishonesty.

The hotel is in a good location in reguards to the train station, only about a 5 minute walk.This was the 3rd place my wife and I stayed while in Italy and was by far the quietest when it came time to sleep, we were there for 3 nights. Unfortunately, the bed in our room was quite small, I'd say a twin size at most, and sagged in towards the middle which we tried to correct by folding blankets and putting under the mattress. There also isn't an elevator, may be a consideration for carrying luggage up stairs, we were on the 3rd floor,which they call the 2nd, apparently the ground floor is zero, all over Italy, not just here. The breakfast was good. Florence is an easy city to walk,so as far as location to sights we thought it was fine. The staff was helpful when asked questions, but kind of standoffish? We stayed at 5 different places while in Italy and Azzi would be our lowest rating of those 5.

Bath room is clean but it has a strong smell; maybe from strong anti-bacteria cleaner?? Room furnitures are very old and the closet has only three hangers. Good breakfast though.

Hotel Azzi is a charming hotel. It has great character and is exactly as it looks on the web. The room and breakfast were excellent for the prices charged. The reception staff were very nice and welcoming and spoke some English. Its location is great as it is close to the railway station and there are really good, not too expensive restaurants nearby. Everything you would want to see in Florence is within walking distance of the hotel

A curates egg. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful ( reception ) while some ( dining room and housekeeping staff ) were surly. Room was slightly down at heel with uncomfortable beds while the wash/shower room adjoining was in need of some repairs to fittings and lights. Breakfasts were quite good and reception area was pleasantly bohemian in decor, though the bar ( so called ) was inadequately stocked. Considering the price paid at the time of our stay - mid-February ( 40 euros p.n. double ) we considered that the Hotel Azzi was fair value for the money even if somewhat amateurish.

We stayed there 4 nights. The service is exactly as described on the website. By car it is very difficult to get there because of all the one-way roads in Florence. the hotel is just near the centrum, so after your car is in their parking, no problem

This is one of our favourite hotels during our trip around Italy. The entire hotel feels like a cosy home, from the moment you step into the reception area till you are in your room. Soft jazzy music fills the reception lounge whilst bright cheery yellow greets you every morning in the breakfast room. It is located very conveniently near the train station, but in a small lane, which is not easily located by first time travellers. Dont expect a view outside, but the view inside is great!!

The staff was very nice and helpful the whole time we were there. They also offered to hold our luggage for us after we checked out. There was a huge Breakfast room with a great selection of yogurts, breads, meat and cheese. We were given the "Green Room" which was huge. The only bad thing about the room is that our windows opened up to the back courtyard of a hostel. It was very noisy at night until about midnight. The room was very clean when we checked in, but they don't really clean the rooms during your stay. They didn't replace the towels and they only re-made the bed. The bathroom was also big, but we weren't expecting the lack of a shower cubicle. When you take a shower, the whole floor gets wet, but it wasn't a problem because I always bring flip flops with me when I travel. The location was great, walking distance from the train station and walking distance to restaurants.

First of all, the staffs in Azzi are very warm-hearted and helpful. Just like their beautiful city, always make you smile and feel good. Location is good, close to the railway station.it is a good option if you have limited travel budget.

I liked very much the idea that is very closed to the station and at the same time very closed to town center too. Our room was small but clean and quiet, we liked it. In general the hotel was very pretty and particular. I would raccomend it to friends.

Lovely stay in this very cosy hotel. We came mother and father with a boy - 6y, a daughter, 8 month, a big dog and a car with a carreer - they still kept their nerves, were very helpfull and friendly (specially the young man in the afternoon!) The view in the courtyard was very nice, but in the first night there were shouting drunken youngsters (was it a restaurant or what ever?) - but if you close the window is bearable. We all loved the place and I'm sure we visit it again.

En el hotel genial, el trato muy bueno, todos los empleados muy amables y dispuestos a resolver todo tipo de dudas, las habitaciones, al menos en la que dormí yo, muy amplia. Por otro lado está muy céntrico. Desde luego si vuelvo a Florencia en alguna ocasión (que espero que si), ya se a que hotel ir....

We had a great stay at Beautiful Hotel Azzi. I don't know if we just had luck concerning the room we got, but we got a suite with a big bathroom, there were even a jucuzzi, reserved through Venere for only 65 euros. Nice breakfast, good service, helpful and professional staff. The hotel has really good location, in a quiet, nice street, close to the main train station and only a 6-7 minutes walk to the cathedral and other major sites. I strongly recommend this hotel.

Hotel Azzi was like an oasis in the middle of hectic Florence. It is like staying at a "private" bed and breakfast - very warm and cozy. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and the location is very central to major sights and close to the train station. Hotel Azzi had the best breakfast we had in Europe. It also has high speed internet access.
