“Very good stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

Hotel is clean and cosy. Rooms are very big and comfortable , bed was perfect. Breakfast which was included in room price was great. Hotel has a free parking and also free Wifi internet access. If you want to go to the center of the city there is a bus station in front of the hotel so it is better to leave your car and take the bus.
The staff in hotel was very kind and proffesional , doing their job more than good. We had a beautiful time in Firenze and next time our choice will deffinately be hotel Alex.

“very good!”

person found this review helpful

After reading other reviews I was very hesitant to book this hotel.
But I was very glad that our friends insisted on it. We are traveling a lot so good and reasonably priced hotels are very important.
Hotel Alex is very good .Very clean. Good air conditioning. Quite spacious rooms and bathrooms. Helpful and friendly staff especially Donald and Andrea. Convenient location. Not too far from the center thou not a walking distance. The busses are quick and easy to take. Good Breakfast.
I would definitely recommend this hotel.

“Buy 3 stars get 2!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2009

This was a good hotel if it was sold as a 2-stars but because that's a 3-stars one I have to say that is inadequate. Rooms have old furnitures and mine had the roof with some damp. Bathroom is tiny and wc and bidet are too close and it's impossible to sit on the bidet if you're taller than 160cm!
There's a 14" TV with national channels and the SKY's satellite's programmes.
Staff is very nice and friendly, this is the best thing of this hotel.
Breakfast is quite poor, with a small range of food and beverages and is just enough to reach the lunch time. The location is not in the heart of Florence but there's the bus no. 26 which is quick and stops right in front of the entrance bringing you at the central station/downtown. Walking to the main attractions requires instead more than 45 mins but there's nothing interesting along the road.

“Great deal, a little far from the heart of things.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2006
4
people found this review helpful

Pros: Very clean. Good air conditioning unit. Quite spacious. Near a good pizza place (Firenze Super Pizza). Helpful and friendly staff.

Cons: Far from the city (would not suggest walking).

The busses are quick and easy to take once you know the correct lines. Do not trust the bus drivers to drop you near where they think the hotel is located (we had to walk for over 2 miles with all our luggage). Get a map from the hotel(this hotel will probably not be within the limits of most Florence maps)! If you want to try out the Florence night life, I would suggest something within walking distance from the heart of things. I would definitely suggest Hotel Alex to anyone who is spending a few days in Florence, on a budget, who doesn't necessarily need to be right in the center of the city. For the price, I'm not sure you can beat it.

  • Liked — Inexpensive, clean, spacious, helpful staff.
  • Disliked — Distance from attractions.
  • Tips/Secrets — Figure out the bus system before you get to Florence (call the hotel). You can find a better breakfast.

“Avoid if not desperate”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2005
2
people found this review helpful

The service (nice) and the air conditioning (working) are the only good things about this hotel. One can tell that the building has been renewed recently, but the furnitures is the old (and dirty) one. Cleaning is really something unknown there, breakfast leaves something to be desired, and the rooms on first floor are noisy. But the worst was the bathroom, with a very bad smell (like drain) and not working properly or at all. Avoid it unless you're desperate, and in any case bring with you something to clean and disinfect the place.
