We stayed here on recommendation from my parents who came 4 years ago. Apparently, things have changed. Our room reeked. The closet smelled like someone died there, no kidding. Our blanket was so threadbare you could watch TV through it. The linens were thin, rough, and scratcy. The whole room was dank and dreary and smelled like feet. The bathroom... more

Very nice 3 star hotel close to Florence train station. We took the train from Rome and walked to the hotel. Very easy to find with a map. Florence is a very easy walking city so we walked everywhere from the hotel. Only issue we had was talking wrong street one night but we asked directions and were soon back... more

Hotel Marios is a nice hotel within 5 minute walk to the central train station. Originally, I had concerns of it being far away from the main attractions, but it is walking distance to most of the attractions. We walked all the way to the river within 20 minutes. The hotel is on a quiet alley on the second floor.... more

Hotel Mario's is a great base to explore Florence. As 1st time visiters we were delighted that the hotel was in a perfect location to get your bearings and hit the ground running. Literally 2 minutes from the Santa Novella station, 2 mins from Mercato Centrale and about 5-10 mins walk from the spectacular Duomo/Campinile/Baptistery area. In terms of the... more

I have been meaning to write a review for Hotel Mario for a long time. I had the pleasure to stay in this lovely hotel a few times now and each time I visit Florence, I don't even bother looking at another hotel--I stay at Hotel Mario. The family--specifically the three brothers--that run Hotel Mario truly understand how to make... more

I have been meaning to write this for quite some time. I have stayed here countless nights, beginning in 2004 when Mario owned it. My last visit was April 2009. For several years it has been owned by three brothers that man the front desk and are delightful hosts. This is a great, safe location for a reasonable price, but... more
