This is an older but very clean facility, not a 5-star but very quaint and personable. Great location and an easy walk from the train station. Location was perfect and great value for your money. Good breakfast too. The receptionist was super helpful. Would stay there again.

Location, close to all the sites , and to the train station S.N

Carlos

United States of America

The staff was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Location was excellent. Very reasonably priced. Shared bath was very clean, just outside the bedroom door, and I never saw anyone from the other room who was to share the bath. Room was basic but met all my needs.

Margaret

United States of America

The location of Hotel Lorena is great. We arrived from the Firenze S.M.N train station and it is about 10 minutes from there. And even less time to all the major sites. Great location. The air conditioner worked extremely well which was a plus because it was hot. We went in August.

Erich

United States of America

The location is wonderful! So close to everything. Very old school check in system but very efficient. Very good English and very easy to communicate with. The breakfast was average but nice and worth the $$! The air conditioner was a huge plus!

Jenny

United States of America

It was good located. Near to train station and to City center as well, 24 hours reception, clean.

Maria

This hotel was awesome. It is quaint, clean and its location COULDN'T be more perfect! Directly across the street from the Medici Chapel of the San Lorenzo church Hotel Lorena is in almost every picture of Florence you have ever seen! The Duoma of the Santa Maria del Florio is less than a 5 minute walk away. Shops and restaurants just at street level. Recommend this place to the maximum!

Craig

The price and convenience to train station where we picked up the tram to the airport. And convenience to local restaurants and other stores. If I come back to Florence, I would stay at Hotel Lorena. Also breakfast was good and convenient.

There really wasn't anything I didn't like, except the noise from the street; but then if you have a central location that is part and parcel of the whole atmosphere so I don't feel that complaining is fair.
The location was excellent, very central with lots of places to eat just a short walk away. All of the sights were within walking distance and are much closer than they appear on the map. The staff in the hotel were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I didn't have the breakfast but it looked good value for money.

The hosts very super friendly and helpful, always smiley and making sure everything was in order. I didn’t see anyone else during breakfast, so it was basically prepared specially for me) Loved the location, it is only a couple blocks away from the main square. Could see the Dome from my window! Nonetheless the room had double (or triple?) windows and you can’t hear any noise from outside. The place is in a historic building and although a little old, it adds to its charm. Everything from the bedding to bathrooms is spotlessly clean.

“Perfect location in Florence.”

No elevator from the first floor to the reception on the second floor. But from the second floor to the top has the elevator. Since this hotel is located in the perfect location, you cannot expect to have the big room and big bathroom.
The location is the superb. You can walk from the train station to the hotel with 5-8 minutes. The private bathroom is very clean. Hotel provide everything i.e. hairdryer, fresh towel, etc. The most important is the reasonable price with clean room. Definitely recommended. If I have a chance to Florence again, I will stay here for sure.

The price is a little bit too high.
Location is super good, direct in the city center, next to the main station. The room is not so big but enough for one person. The shared bathroom is also clean and convenient to use.
