Location, Loacation, Location! Right in the heart of Florence - above the Gucci store on the main fashion thoroughfare. Staff were extremely courteous, room was quaint,spacious and had a very modern bathroom. Extremely clean. Breakfast was more than adequate.

Mainly location, right opposite the Strozzi Palace. But I also liked it because it was warm and welcoming, has friendly and professional staff, all the bed rooms seem to be different (not boring plastic carbon copies), lots of old, almost antique furniture, comfortable public areas, and a good continental breakfast. Essentially just a nice, old fashioned Florentine hotel and exactly what I was hoping for..

We liked their city center location and short walking distances to all museums and churches. The staff are warmer and more polite than other hotel we stayed in this trip. The breakfast service is great. Staff is very warm and quickly come down to the street door level to help carrying luggage to our room when buzzed.

We can hear street noise up to 1pm. Elevator does not go down to the street level.

Location.

Having visited Florence two years ago, we were looking for a good quality hotel in a good location with friendly, knowledgable staff and the Albergotto certainly gave us all of that. As independent travellers we landed at Pisa, took a direct train to Florence smn, the hotel is five minutes by taxi or ten minutes walking. Excellent. All of the main sites within Florence are within easy walking distance and with the train station being so close Tuscany is easily accessible. We would definitely recommend the Albergotto.

The Central Location of the hotel was very good, close to main attractions, free wi-fi when you asked at reception, rooms were clean and they had air conditioning as well. Price was reasonable.

Upon arrival at the hotel, you have to climb a flight of stairs to get to the tiny reception area, which can be difficult with bags. Our room was quite small and there were quite a few cracks in the walls and seemed in need of a bit of repair. Would not class the hotel as a 4 star more like a 3 star. Breakfast was okay, nothing to write home about, breads, cheeses, juices etc. a pretty small spread. The lift has seen better days, quite old and small. All in all, handy hotel for location, I thought the room we getting would have been larger as in the pictures but of course you never get the room you see on the website! Satellite TV only seems to cater for Italian, German speakers.

After a long trip involving planes, trains and buses we were greeted in Albergotto with an upgrade to a superior room facing the massive Palazzo Strozzi and all major luxury stores nearby (Gucci, Prada, Bulgari, Ferragamo...). The bed, room and bathroom were spacious and it didn't take long for us to enjoy the great location: the bridges Ponte Vecchio and Ponte della Santa Trinitá, the main square Piazza della Reppublica, the Duomo, the Palace Vecchio or the Uffizzi Gallery were in a five-to-ten minutes walk reach. Getting to and from the train station was also easy. The breakfast didn't have the greatest of choices but had enough croissants, bread, juices, waters, coffees, fruits and cakes. The staff was helpful and it made for an excellent seven- night staying in the unforgettable city of Florence.

Being an historical building Albergotto hasn't got an elevator on the ground floor. You'll have to climb a flight of stairs to the elevator (but you can ring for the doorman to carry your baggages) and only then you'll get into the reception (on the following floor). The hotel is quite old-fashioned so for those who are expecting modernity perhaps it isn't suited. But when you're surrounded by such beauty...

Great location, great facilities, great breakfast... Simply a wonderful place.

nice and quiet location, minutes walk to Florence main attrations.

Good hotel in an excellent location. Clean & spacious rooms. Kind & helpful staff.
