Decent motel that was hard to find, right on the main road. Just had to figure out it was a Best Western and then okay. It was 15 minutes walk to attractions, but the bus stop was 20 meters away, and they sold tickets at the desk. Very handy.

l'hôtel mérite un petit coup de rafraichissement. Sinon nous sommes enchantés de notre séjour à Florence.

we had a great stay in this hotel; the room was very clean; the breakfast was good. The hotel is far from the center but quite close to Michelangelo Place which is wonderful.

It is a bit far away from the city center, so maybe the price could be a little lower to compensante transportation costs. The hotel is excellent in every thing!

Although situated on outskirts of Florence most places within 20 mins walking distance. Taxi fare, with luggage, from the station was just under 10 Euros The Hop On/Off Tour Bus pick-up was fairly close. Although on a busy main thoroughfare traffic noise was not a problem. The overnight trash collection was the biggest problem. Hotel had a restaurant that served dinner as well as a comfortable bar area. Hotel staff were very helpful and were able to recommend a good local restaurant with excellent food.
