A no-fuss hotel barely minutes from the train station and within walking distance of Mercato San Lorenzo, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Gallerie Uffizi and a host of other tourist attractions in the middle of Florence. The room was comfortable and clean, the beds were comfy and the toilet was clean & functional. The breakfast buffet was limited but good for a quick bite (no eggs made to order though) - the hotel does not offer lunch or dinner service. The location was excellent and we were surrounded by food options, so the lack of food service wasn't really an issue.

Location was perfect since we had planned other trips via Trenitalia/ Firenze Centrale

Very central and walking distance from train station

Linda, Spain

The central location in the heart of Florence. Easy to get there by foot from train station 10 min easy walk dragging bags. Basic but ample breakfast.

Ruth, New Zealand

It has everything you need for a nice stay in Florence. It's very central and close to the trainstation which makes it easy to explore the city by foot and travel on by train

Alexandra, Slovakia

I liked the breakfasts, which were plentiful, with a variety of foods. I also liked the balcony with tables and chairs where we could read, drink, or just breathe in the atmosphere of Florence.

Stay in the Heart of Florence – Excellent location – show map

One of our top picks in Florence.

The Machiavelli Palace is in a 14th-century convent, 950 feet from Santa Maria Novella Train Station. Its roof garden overlooks the historic center of Florence, and Wi-Fi is free throughout.

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

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

The staff here can provide tourist information, as well as arrange ticket reservations for museums. Fortezza da Basso Conference Centre 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 8.9 for a two-person trip.

“Superb location, no fuss stay, great for tourists!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Triple Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Only issue we noticed was that every time someone flushed in one of the neighbouring rooms or pulled a chair, we could hear the sounds distinctly. Other than that, absolutely no cons! It's a great base from which to explore the beautiful city of Florence. The proximity to the train station made our departure hassle free, we just walked down in 5mins.

눉Miserable male staff upon arrival. Queue for breakfast, greeted by more miserable staff. Breakfast was awful, cheap juice, meats etc.It was also raining outside but rain was actually entering the dining room through the glass roof and dripping onto tables. For the next 4 mornings we had a lovely breakfast at a local cafe, we couldn't bare to have another at the hotel. There was also rain pouring through our corridor ceiling and into a bucket. Carpets are filthy on the corridor too and smell musty. Our room in general was shabby. To sum up the hotel appears to be run on a shoe string and has been bodged for years. Very disappointed!
눇Good location, clean sheets and clean room.
