Located not far from the main rail station, but in walking distance of all major sites. Our room was large and airy with two large windows. The staff was very accommodating particularly given our arrived around 730A after taking a night train from Vienna. Somewhat disappointing breakfast. Great price however! More

We stayed here for one night in Oct 2011, and in hindsight wish we had went somewhere else. We checked in late at this hotel and had a car with us, which we had to park in a garage at an extra €20 per night. The rooms are very spacious here, however, this hotel advertises free wifi and in true... More

We were presently surprised when we reached Florence. The hotel staff were very friendly and helped us a great deal to make bookings for different excursions we needed to make. They had also given names of restaurants that they recommended. So instead of trying out touristy restuarants we visited two of the recommended restuarants and they were excellent. Our room... More

This is a terrific hotel = beautifully appointed, clean, comfortable, friendly staff, terrific breakfast, perfect location. But.....none of the staff knew how to get the DVD to work (we just wanted to relax after a full day of sightseeing and watch something in English). One staff person had no idea so we had to wait for the night staff to... More

Good location and a friendly atmosphere. Breakfast was a decent continental fare. Room was larger than average, although it was a little bit noisy in the morning. Nothing to really let it down and would stay again if we were ever back in Florence. More

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Faenza in Florence, Italy for three nights in September. The accommodations were excellent, and the breakfast was great. The staff was helpful and courteous, and provided some great restaurant tips. The hotel is an easy walk from the train station, and just a couple blocks from the "Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore"... More

This hotel is located very near to the train station and is an easy walk, even with luggage. The location is superb, but the hotel was let down by a few problems, some of which may be outside the control of the hotel. Reception upon arrival was very friendly, and offered us information on the city. I was traveling with... More

This hotel is a real find which I will be recommending to any prospective Tuscan travelers. It is so close to the train station yet located in a central part of the old town within easy walking distance of everything. The huge rooms are beautifully decorated in a traditional style as is the rest of the hotel. We had frescoes... More

Don't be fooled - when we say Rustic - its a a favourable term! This unassuming hotel entrance is in the perfect location (close to station, Florence market and city sights) and is beautifully appointed. Rustic with its exposed beams and rendered walls we felt we were immediately swept back in time, just will all the creature comforts and amenities... More

We stayed at the Porta Faenza hotel in September 2011. Out of 4 hotels we stayed at in different parts of Italy, this was by far my favourite. From the outside, the hotel is unassuming, but inside it is beautiful. This is a former palazzo converted to a hotel. The interiors are decorated with antique pieces and Renaissance pictures. Our...
