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.

Hotel full of fantastic work of arts.

Small breakfast room.

Air conditioner did not work and was extremely warm. when we called the desk, was told curtly "you will just have to open the window". was very uncomfortable. Otherwise was good price at good location. Hotel comensurate with price.

Very good located, safe, comfortable, nice breakfast and I love the decoration. Has free wi fi.

It is a little bit noisy (bring earplugs if you are very concern about the noise).

Location. Friendly staff. Very Clean. Nice breakfast. I recommend this hotel.

My room and bathroom would need refurbishment.

perfect location (10 minutes from S.M.N. railway station) and friedly staff

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

The hotel staff is great! They are ready to help, they are very friendly, their advices about the nearby places to eat are really good. Location is also quite good - close to everything, but at the same time away from the most crowded shopping streets. And they have art posters and pictures everywhere - some of these pretty nice.

The furnishing is pretty old, the ac is controlled centrally from the reception desk only, and the bathrooms are on a small side. And worst of all, the electricity curent was unstable during all 6 days of my stay there, causing the light to flicker and my phone set on charger beeped about stopping and starting to charge all night long. It also caused the Internet connection to break up quite often. Talking of the Internet connection, it also annoyed me a lot that I had to type in my login and password details (both are many-digit numbers which one just can't memorize) each time my computer or phone woke up from sleep mode. My room had windows facing the roofs of the other houses and was pretty quiet. But my parents had their windows facing the street, and were complaining about the noise of market carriages every morning.

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.

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.
