Hotel Nuova Italia  

The shower was very powerful, which you need to wake you up when you've been kept awake all night by the sheer amount of noise from the street, from other rooms, even from the reception.

This is possibly the noisiest hotel in the world. My first night might as well have been spent on the concourse at Victoria Station. I was on the ground floor right behind reception, with a window out on to the corner of the busy Via Faenza. All cities are noisy - fair enough - but the owners need to place a door between reception and the ground floor rooms. If you are absolutely forced to book this place, my advice is to insist on an upstairs room on the back of the building. If they try and give you Room number 1, walk away.

The hotel is very good, staff are friendly, always happy to help and answer questions. Room cleaning is excellent and every day. In the morning in a small room serves breakfast: coffee, croissants, yogurts, jams, etc. By the way, the coffee is delicious, which is not always give the hotels for breakfast. The hotel is very easy to find, the location is excellent. From the railway station to the hotel 5 minutes by foot, to Duomo in 10 minutes, the bridge Vecchio pass 15-20 slowly. A fine hotel for discovering of Florence.

This hotel was extremely convenient to the bus connection to the airport and to the train station. Also there were many historical locations within easy walking distance. An added advantage was being able to also get a little bit away from the swarms of tourists who (like ourselves) probably thought that visiting in Sept. Would be a little less crowded. We like being able to walk into neighborhoods where the locals live and eat. There were plenty of good and reasonable places to eat nearby. The hotel was compact and well designed in modern style but with the original high ceilings. Decorations with modern art work with a bit of traditional prints and ceramics thrown in....added to our enjoyment of our one day stay.

The location was excellent, a few minutes walk from the main train station in the direction of all the attractions in Florence, very convenient. The hotel is clean, well serviced and comfortable. The staff were helpful, friendly and spoke English well. Everything considered, I felt that this hotel represented great value for money.

At one point, on my checkout morning, the wifi was unusable. However, it worked fine the rest of the time I was there.

The staff was very nice! Good Breakfast with bread, croissant, small cake, cereals, yogurt, fresh fruits(it will be even better, if there will be bananas as well;)) and coffee!! Great wifi connection. If you want to buy coffee or hot chocolate outside of the breakfast time, it costs usually only 1 Euro!!!

No lift.

Good location, very near to the railway station. Free wi-fi connection in the room. Nice room and breakfast.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, particularly with breakfast service. The rooms were very clean. Breakfast was adequate- it was nice having fresh fruit every day. Hotel is great location from train station and city centre.

There was a lot of noise from the street during the night and constant noise from downstairs in the lobby/breakfast room. Our room was near the stairs so this was probably why we copped most of the noise. I would recommend bringing earplugs!

Staff were really helpful and kind during our stay.

We were five and the room was not big enough to accommodate all of us. We had to squeeze in the bed but with the little kids it was ok in the end.

Excellent location, very friendly staff, clean and spacious room; just a 5 min walk from the train station to the hotel

Very convenient location, close to the rail and bus stations and to the chief sites in Florence. Good value and helpful staff.

The only draw back is the lack of an elevator which if one has a mobility problem can present a challenge.

The staff were helpful, booked all tours for us, told us where everything was. It was quiet, close to all things, staff were on duty 24/7 and so friendly. Absolutely a great place to stay.

As in most Italian Hotels, the shower was small and hard to use.

We were returning guests and we can recommend the welcome of the family who run the hotel. We love the location and it is very good value for money. The breakfast is always excellent and the decoration of the hotel with many pictures everywhere, means there is always something new to see.

We would have liked a shower tray in the bathroom, rather than the wet room approach.

Great location in the centre of Florence, with very friendly and helpful staff. Continental breakfast served in the morning and was very nice. Spacious rooms with all facilities necessary.
