We stayed for two nights in October. As we were travelling by car we wanted a hotel outside the ZTH. The hotel has its own parking, but also plenty "free" parking on the street. The hotel is about 15-25 minutes walk to the city center and has a near by bus to the cathedral. The room was fairly good and quiet. The breakfast was OK (low Italian standards). The stuff was very friendly.
We liked it and should revisit Florence!

This hotel will offer you much more than what you pay for. The staff is genuinely very friendly and super helpful. We had accidentally booked a room for a wrong date and the staff said it was not a problem, sort it out for us (at no extra cost) and gave us an upgraded room! They even lend us their umbrella since it was raining during our stay! The breakfast was the best one we had in our 9-day vacation. Highly recommended! We also stayed in other hotels in Florence but not one of them even closely matched our experience at Hotel Crocini.

This is not an expensive, luxury hotel. However, for 69E per night we thought it was absolutely excellent. We found our room to be in roughly the same condition as the others posted in photos on TA.

Couple of tips - don't rub the paint on the wall - it will come off on your hands! We tried to rub off a spot and we took the paint off by accident.
- When trying to find the place, don't get freaked out by the army guards by the water like we did. We thought they were blocking the road off, but in actuality they're guarding the American Consulate on Corso Italia - so you can walk right by them.

The breakfast is ok. Decent selection, a lot of pre packaged stuff. You won't go hungry, but it's nothing to write home about in terms of quality. The room was just fine and the hotel is about a 20 min stroll to Ponte Vecchio. If you're looking to do Florence on a budget, this is a great place to stay as long as you keep your expectations reasonable.

This was our second stay at the Hotel Crocini (Florence), and once again we were made
most welcome by Lorenzo and his kind staff. Our room was quiet, air-condtioned, bright
and clean. A new t.v.. and a good bed added to our comfort. The breakfast included
coffee/tea, juice, fresh fruit, cereals and yogurt, and various breads and pastries. We
looked forward to it each morning. Location is, in our view, a very important adjunct to the
Crocini. This is a quiet and trouble free area of the city, yet the hotel is only steps
away from the Arno, and a short, lovely walk to the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi.
Just writing this makes us want return to Firenze--and the Crocini.
