Very easy to find and excellent for access to lots of the sights. Lovely breakfast room and lots of eating places nearby. Take a trip to Fiesole on the hop on hop off bus if you have time and walk up the hill to the old church and surrounds. Beautiful!!

Although it seems expensive, take into account that it is Firenze and accomodation is not cheap! That said, this place was perfect - minutes from SMN and the main attractions. Staff were extremely helpful spoke excellent English and the place was very clean and tidy. Typical continental style breafast but more than ample to give a good start to the day. Would not hesitate to book this place again if I return to Firenze.

Love this hotel. I stayed once before with my husband and we liked it then. It has been improved and it is even better. Very convenient location near train station as well as easy walking to all other sights, shops and restaurants.

We spent three nights at the hotel. Our was a quadruple room as we were travelling with two youngish grandchildren. Imagine their delight when we entered our room and saw that it was actually part of an old church cloister, refurbished but with lots of charm and a bit quirky. The boys had a whole second bedroom for themselves in the gallery of the room and had a whale of a time. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were served in a lovely patio. When we located the hotel we were a bit put off by the area around the hotel and wondered where on earth we would be able to park the car but there was valet parking available and so we were car-carefree during our stay. In the end we found the hotel to be within walking distance of most of the places we wanted to get to. I would highly recommend this hotel for people like us who need more than two beds in the room.

After a previous stay in Florence I was astonished at the size and quality of this hotel room. I even checked that the quoted price was correct because I didn't believe we had such a nice hotel for the price we got from Venere. Because there were three of us we got the room in the pictures with the spiral staircase. What you don't see in the pictures is that it also had a double shower in the bathroom and a seperate room with a jacuzzi. The refurbishment of this hotel is excellent and being a short walk from the train station it was an ideal location to walk with our suitcases. The walk into the centre for the Duomo, Uffizi is comfortable and the street is safe and quiet. The breakfast buffet was good and in a covered courtyard within the hotel. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and would definately stay here again.

Hotel Alba is a great hotel. Good price and good quality rooms. It took a little time getting to with a car due to all the one-ways but with perseverance, it is doable. The hotel location is great. I will definitely stay at this hotel again during my next stay in Florence.

Hotel Alba was just a wonderful experience during our visit to Florence. However, the night manager's lack of any English proved to be somewhat humorous for us but seemed frustrating for him. I tried to tell him I had arranged for a shuttle to the airport at 4:30 AM. He did not understand and called a taxi for me. There was quite a shouting match at the front door when I left. The called taxi and the night manager were shouting at each other as I slipped by them to get my prearranged shuttle.

This is my second time here, but i decided that when in Florence for work i'll be move always there. They gave me the same single room that the first time...it's small but better that at King Hotel in Milan... It's very close to the train station an to the city center. The meal is great!

Our stay at the Hotel Alba was excellent. We arrived early and they had a room ready, not just a room, but a suite. We did not pay an extra and we had the biggest room in Europe! The room had a balcony and a great tub. The place is so close to the train that we took a trip to Pisa. It is close to everything else (with in walking distance). We loved the tub and the breakfast was good. We booked a Tour of the Uffizi through the hotel and it was great. We would without a doubt recommend this hotel.
