This is a lovely, quaint, old hotel. It has a bit of wear around the edges, but the decor and the service make up for that. There is a lovely roof top terrace where you can sit and have wine while you look out over the Duomo. The staff were very helpful and patient. The only downside was that the... More

One of our main reasons for choosing this hotel was its location: about five minute's walk from both the railway station and the Duomo. And its location didn't disappoint. Other than that however, not much going for it. It's got lot's of character in the lobby and breakfast areas and rooms are large. But lots of little quibbles for a... More

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights and overall found the rooms very comfortable and clean and the hotel could not be in a better location - 5 mins walk walk from both the train station and the Duomo. That said we did have some issues during our stay. We paid for a standard room which wad large but... More

Having read the initial negative comments....On arrival, our assigned room was the size of a cupboard... Having complained, Sabrina was kind enough to move us.... But the hotel is overall very, very TIRED! Some of the rooms are well sized (not unless you assigned the cupboards, ie the first room on every floor)... The lack of maintance (shower cubicles leaked,... More

We stayed at the Boscolo Astoria in Florence for four nights, in early May, having travelled to Florence from Foggia. Boscolo Astoria Hotel is very close to the Florence S.M.N. Railway Station; less than ten minutes walk. It is also within walking distance from the Duomo and the Cathedral. It is also only one hour by train to Pisa. It... More

Just back, and I struggle as to what people do not like about this quaint old Hotel. It has a lovely history, and bang in the middle of Florence. We had a standard room, lovely and big, fantastic large very clean bathroom. Bedding changed everyday. We had the buffet breakfast, nothing to write home about, so if you are after... More

I was a little nervous having read some of the previous trip advisor reviews, but I have to say my experience of it was very, very good. Our room was clean and roomy, a wee bit tired, but I would say that of most hotels in Italy, but it had everything we needed, including an amazing rooftop view of the... More

Thought the staff was very cold and unhelpful. A true "chain" type hotel. However, we had the best possible view ever of the Duomo city you could image. Came home with bites. Am hoping it's mosquitos?

This is quite simply the worst hotel imaginable, and I cannot warn you strongly enough to avoid it at all costs. We arrived to find that the appearance throughout bears no resemblance to the photos on the hotel's website: it is dingy, badly in need of renovation and refurbishment, and dilapidated. After taking the rickety elevator to our floor, we... More
