Hotel BoccaccioVia della Scala 59, Santa Maria Novella, 50123 Florence (Show map) Good, Score from 103 reviewsIf you are looking for a mix of modern comforts and traditional architecture, and of course great rates, Hotel Boccaccio has it all, and is right next to the station. The hotel is named after the Tuscan poet Giovanni Boccaccio. It is set in a historic, Florentine building that dates back to the 18th century. It has been completely modernized and extended and now includes precious marble and all the latest amenities. Your guest room comes with hardwood floors, air conditioning, and satellite TV with international channels. The bathroom features either a bathtub or hydromassage shower. The Boccaccio Hotel is right in the heart of Florence, between the Arno River and Santa Maria Novella Church. The station and bus terminal are just across the road. You can enjoy traditional Tuscan cuisine at the trattoria owned by the same management, a 5 minute walk away. Hotel Rooms: 23

Stayed here for two nights in September with my sister. The hotel is conveniently located near the train station,which is very busy, and has an underground shopping mall. The Sita bus station is opposite the hotel where the bus for The Mall leaves from, and the Hop On/Off tour also starts at the train station. It is just a 10 minute walk to all the sights. The Hotel staff were very helpful, especially Ronnie.

The location was amazing for me because it was just a couple of minutes from the train station, which was pretty muchi n the centre of the town. The staff was great and very helpful. They were professional and friendly. The room was simple and clean and the bathroom was spacious. The rate included breakfast which is always a plus. N/A

The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was a decent size with a mini fridge. There was a good selection for breakfast. It was a 5 min walk from the main train station, and an easy walk to all the main sites and the shopping area. The hotel had a nice terrace that you could sit out on with tables and chairs. The bathroom was a good size. The walls were paper thin, so you could hear everything going on in other rooms.

I enjoyed the warm welcome and the help from the front desk, whatever I asked or needed. The room was small but elegant. The ensuite bathroom had its own patio - divine! The water was always hot and the linen was changed daily. The towels were large and fluffy and the room service provided everything I asked for very quickly. Tea and coffee was elegantly served in the lounge and there was a lovely first-floor patio with gardens for guests which I used and enjoyed. It was the perfect place to stay in Florence.

I had a single room : the heating was working perfectly and the room temperature was pleasant. I had my own toilet + sink. The bed was big. The shower and the WC were not separated so that after I showered, everything was wet. The flush button was broken, many items in the room were a bit old (but this didn't prevent me from using them), and the room was a bit dirty (the bed wasn't, tough).

Pleasant desk clerks that tried hard to meet your needs. Adequate breakfasts. Struggled with the WiFi connection that is different for each floor. Hotels in general need to make this service more transparent in today's world. Raise the room rate a couple of euros, but don't have an awkward system that doesn't work well. Emails are an important means of daily communication.

It was old fashioned and that was welcome as it gave character. The bar was open all the time and the staff were willing to serve until late. We were on a culture trip (which is not an option on the tick box part of the revue) as the city is small the hotel is ideally located. They also have a companion business of a trattoria, just down the road, which is excellent for dinner. They also have a cool evening outside terrace on the first floor. Breakfast is fine, but very unimaginative and no fruit.

Very welcoming staff, with excellent English. Location is very close to train station, but still quiet. Several reasonable restaurants are close, as is stop for boats to other parts of Venice. Used to be monastery, but has been modernized, with new plumbing. For older patrons stairs to 3rd floor are a trial ( no elevator)

Nice hotel. Good location. Very near the historical zone. Staff is nice and the bedroom is clean and with all the necessary conditions. Breakfast could have more variety although is still ok. Everyday there was a lot of mosquitos on the bedroom. Be aware to keep the anti- mosquito device plugged-in. There was only 1 plug available to connect electronic devices (on the bathroom).

The breakfast was appalling. The cable tv did not work. Tv not essential for a holiday but beneficial to hear the news particularly in Italy where transport strikes are a distinct possibility.

Location of the hotel was good. Right down the street from the train station. Good breakfast buffet in the morning. Staff was very accommodating. Would recommend this hotel to others. The only negative thing for this hotel was that the internet was not included. We paid for it. Most hotels have free internet. Also the internet connection was not good.

Me parece un hotel excelente por su situación, si viajas a través de low cost desde Pisa, ya que está a 50 mtrs de la estación de tren y autobuses. Además está a un paso de los principales sitios de interés. El hotel es básico, pero está limpio, las habitaciones están bien y el personal es amable, en mi caso tenía lo que necesitaba. En principio decir que volvería a este hotel, pero la relación calidad precio me pareció un poco caro, pero he hido en navidades y me doy por satisfecho. En el desayuno me pareció extraño que no tuvieran nada de fruta, era tipo buffet y hambre no pasabas ya que era de una variedad reducida pero tenía todo lo básico, el café era muy bueno y el personal amable.

場所が便利。フィレンツェからのプルマンのバス乗り場から歩いてすぐ。街中なので、観光にとても便利。 一人旅だったのでホテル内で過ごすことはなかったので、寝るだけなら、清潔だし、広さも日本人ならこの広さ- でよいと思う。 シングルベットが2つある部屋だった。 水周りは、豪華ではないが清潔。シャワーの水の出も良いし文句なし。 中世イタリアの都市、インテリアもおしゃれで、おすすめです。

“The location is excellent! It is located right across tge train station and tram station. It only took us 15 minutes to walk to the Uffizi Gallery and everything else is only 10 minutes away. The room has tv with cartoons on and free wi-fi for the whole building. Breakfast is included (althiugh the breakfast staff were not welcoming) and its quite nice.

“The location is very good and just 3 mins walk from the Firenze SMN station. Although the hotel is near the Street side, it is very quite at night becasue of the double layers windows. Mr. Paolo (Boss) is nice and expalin eveything in detail when you check in. His Staffs are very nice too and my family likes to stay in this Hotel. The size of the room is big enough for 4 people. Also, a good supermarket just nearby and you will find a lot of cheaper things there.” Gavin, Hong Kong |

“Rooms, specially the ones on the third floor which are newly refurbished, very modern and comofortable are highly recommended. The price was good and the service was great. Specially friendly was the attention of Guido at the front desk. He recommended us places to go, restaurants to visit in the area, etc. Buffet breakfast was included, it was ok but I have no complaints considering that you are paying a very good price for the accommodation!” Valeria, Cambridge |
