he pictures shown must be the "suite" as the standard rooms are much smaller. However, overall the hotel was about what you'd get for your money. Average sized room with a good sized bathroom along with AC and TV. Location is good in the sense that is near the train station and within walking distance of all the sites. More

Room was not clean with bad smell from the kitchen, worse thing is that the water pressure was very low so a shower takes for ever not a good experience to have in January weather. More

I booked a single room but got a double with a balcony for the same price. The room was clean and cleaned every day. Having the balcony must be wonderful in the summer but still nice to sit outside in the evening and listen to the bussle. The location is really good, close to the train station and the centre....

The location, price, and cleanliness were top notch, but it is definitely a no frills place. Breakfast was sparse and stale and the front desk seemed annoyed most of the time. The heating and electricity needed some updating and it's not like the place has charm to make up for the lack of amenities. It's a good location for the... More

The Macchiavelli Palace is a modest little place in a very conventient location if you want to be close to the train station - which in Florence is adjacent to the historic centre. Nothing grand, but everything there you need. My room offered the pleasure of a little terrace overlooking the rooftops in the direction of the Duomo; the breakfast-room... More

POSITIVE: -Good location close to Santa Maria Novella train station and a stone's throw from the Duomo and other main monuments in Florence. -The bed was big, solid and comfy. NEGATIVE: -They charge you to use Internet when in most of the hotels it's free for the customers. -The hotel descriptions says that it was totally refurbished and renovated. Not... More

Overall, I should say that I had a good stay at this place. First of all, it is located about 3-5 minutes from Florence's train station. This was very convenient to me as I traveled between cities by train. So, arriving from Venice or leaving for Pisa the following day and Rome the day after (quite early in the morning)... More

This is a small, neat hotel in the very heart of Florence. It's a ten minute walk from the main Termini and it is surrounded by great restaurants. I've been booking our hotels throughout this trip via trip advisor and I am very pleased with the website and its functionality with being able to weed out the terrible hotels best... More

The reception staff have been very polite and professional, especially Mrs. Valeria. Internet is not expensive at 6 euros per 24 hours (running time) and wifi good reception. The hotel is central and as you go out of the central train station you cross the zebra crossing and go right and the first turn to the left. Follow on straight... More

Close to train station and most sights. Staff was friendly but easily distracted, was left waiting at front desk. Room was clean but slightly shabby, beds were small and very hard. Breakfast was good. Biggest complaint we had was there was no hot water to take a shower! More
