Cozy room with balcony, the variety of breakfast items was great, and the rooftop deck was amazing. Florence at night is beautiful from this location.

This ia a little gem! Walking distance to the train station. Walking distance to most of the most popular attractions.. The Duomo, Uffezi Gallery, The Accademia etc. super helpful staff.

One of our top picks in Florence.The Machiavelli Palace is set in a 14th-century convent, 1,000 feet from Santa Maria Novella Train Station. Its seasonal roof garden overlooks the historic center of Florence, and Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Rooms at the Machiavelli feature traditional Florentine décor and come with satellite TV, mini-bar and fully equipped bathroom. Some include a balcony with cathedral views, others have exposed wooden beams on the ceiling.

A continental buffet breakfast is served daily, and room service is on request. A bar is available on the seasonal roof garden.

Staff here can provide tourist information, as well as arrange ticket reservations for museums. Fortezza da Basso Conference Center is a 3-minute walk away.

San Lorenzo is a great choice for travelers interested in cathedrals, food and art.

This is our guests' favorite part of Florence, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

The hotel is very well located coming out of the train station and everything is nearby in Florence so easy to walk from there. The staff was so nice and welcoming, our family room was spacious and clean, the breakfast choice of food was correct for a 3 stars hotel and the viennoiseries and pastries really good. The top roof bar with the view is a real treat, although drinks are a bit pricey outside the happy hours.

Breakfast was so so.
We received a warm welcome and a free upgrade to a suite which we suspect is because we paid quite a bit higher than average for our standard double room. Not complaining though, the suite was absolutely beautiful and all the amenities were updated and modern. Location was perfect, 5 min to the station and walking distance to everywhere. View was stunning
