Hotel Orcagna  

Nice two star hotel walking distance to the city center, but just outside Zona Trafico Limitato. Staff is friendly, breakfast is Italian only (sweet).

Car parking paid extra is expensive - it's cheeper to leave car on the street.

Hotel Orcagna was a pleasant Hotel, nestled in a quiet suburb not more than a 10 minutes bus-ride from the Florence Santa Maria Novella train station. It is also within 5-10 minutes walk to Florence Campo Di Marte station (which we used for our train to Rome). The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The reception desk works round the clock. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. For the price we paid we couldnt expect any better. We took a bus to the centre in the morning (the bus stops less than 500 metres away and is frequent). We really had no complaints. Even the Wi-Fi signal was strong and walked all the time, as advised. I would definitely recommend this Hotel to anyone.

The cheap price and the best service. Also, wifi is free in the hotel. Room is large, the twin room is suitable for a family, actually.

Just a little bit far away from the city center. But not its fault.

The staff is the best I have ever met. We dealt with at least five different people and they were all extremely helpful, absolutely kind and polite, always willing to help. We had a problem and we needed someone who spoke Italian to call to Malcesine several times while we stayed in Florence, and the staff were keen to help. They tried their best to help us. In addition, the hotel is very clean, the room was huge and comfortable, the breakfast was very good and the staff who served was also very sweet. The lady was happy that we liked her freshly prepared cappuccino and smiled when we asked for more (many times...: )). By the way, the freshly made cappuccinos were amazing!!! The hotel was much more than we expected! Strongly recommend it!

Absolutely nothing! The hotel is a bit far from the center, but you can very easily get a bus and it costs 1 euro. Anyway, the location is calm and there are many good restaurants and cafes.

My partner and I had a great stay at Hotel Orcagna in October 2011. Our room was very comfortable, the hotel is conveniently located just outside the town centre, only 15 minutes walk. There's some shops around, a supermarket, and a few bus stops. Bus #8 takes you straight to Firenze train stations both smn and Firenze Rifredi, so does bus #14 I think but I'm not 100% sure. The staff is very kind and helpful and they serve a beautiful breakfast.They also give you a convenient map of Florence when you check in, and that's a bonus! I would definitely stay here again.

The staff are really nice and helpful and the young lady with short fair hair was really sweet to us and explained everything. We will surely come there again !

Good location and staff were very friendly and helped us get about the city.

Air Con didn't seem to work very well since it was boiling all night.

In a quiet road within 10 -15 minutes walk of the centre. Private parking available around the corner, if reserved. Rooms large and the penthouse has a terrace with a lovely view of the Florence skyline.

Great location just within walking distance from main centre. Quiet street. Lovely room with balcony. Very friendly and helpful staff. We hired bikes from the hotel. Breakfast was good. We ended up staying an extra two nights

Great quality for the price you pay. Good location, just a 15minute walk from doumo (city center), quiet neighbourhood, very friendly staff and very good breakfast with great capuccino and cakes to start the day. Very good experience.

The room was surprisingly spacious, there was an air conditioner, the room was clean, the toilet and shower were in the room, not somewhere outside, which is seldom for this room price.

The distance from the city centre is slightly bigger than it seems from the map. It's a good 15 min. Walk.

Close to bus stop, near supermarket, only 15 mins on the bus to get to all the sights. Beds were good and clean. Room was decent. We had a triple for only 2 people.

Pillows were a little hard
