My wife, son and I stayed at Basilea during an over-night vacation trip to Florence in August. Our room was quiet, clean and spaceous. The staff was extremely helpful and glad to answer all our questions. They kept our bags in storage while we enjoyed our second day in Florence. We took advantage of Basilea's valet parking - the convenience was well worth the additional charge. I highly recommend Basilea.

Good location,short walk into Florence, friendly staff.Had only one problem and that was that the bath/shower was too small and dangerous in our opinion,other than that a nice hotel.

Close to SMN station but probably not walking distance if you have more than the lightest bag. Being close to the station means it is a good 10-15 mins walk to most of the things you will want to see in Florence but good reason to take it slowly and enjoy a gelato on the way. Hotel provided value for money but this means the rooms have seen better days. Eg while the room we (parents) took had a refurbished/modern bathroom the other two rooms did not. That said the airconditioning was quiet and worked well - essential when the temperature is above 35 degrees day after day - and it was comfortable and quiet. We welcomed the balconies (even without views) as a place where we could enjoy an economical lunch which we had bought ourselves. Bring your own bottle opener/corkscrew as it was tiresome having to go to the front desk to borrow one. Staff were a little reserved but once engaged only to willing to make reservations at the museums (to avoid the queues)and provide advice.

The staff at reception were very helpful and even booked us places for the opera ( when we enquiered about about the need to reserve seats)Our bedroom was very clean, the shower was tiny but good ( wouldn't want to be a big person having a shower!)But the room was very quiet with lovely views of rooftops. Breadfast was great with good variety of food on offer. The hotel was right in the middle of the city centre and we could walk everywhere from the hotel.Would certainly go back to hotel Basilica.

We only stayed in Florence for 1 night but the lady at reception was very helpful in getting reservations for the museum to see 'David' & ideas for max sightseeing in the time allowed. Fairly basic facilities but good value for money. Easily walkable from the train station & good location for sightseeing by bus

Our walk from the bus station was hot and confusing because Florence economizes on street signs and doesn't seem to use many. Once at the hotel we were welcomed gracefully, however and a bellman took our bags -- a welcome assistance, actually. Like many in Italy, our double room featured two small beds pushed together. The bathroom shower was a handheld wand which worked fine and there was plenty of water pressure. Staff was very pleasant and directed us to a restaurant a block away, where we had one of our finer meals. Internet use is isnformal -- a Mac is set up to the left of the reception and guests are asked to sign a log with name, room and time used.

Although the family room booked was not available the staff were very helpful in accommodating us in a double and single rooms. The staff were most helpful and the central location for the train and bus stations was very useful. Range of local restaurants was excellent and the market is well worth a look. Single rooms are very small and the decor quite dated but this is to be expected in Italian 3 stars. Breakfast was a good range of continental breakfast (especially the quality of the coffee!!).

Hotel Basilea is nice and very close to the centre of Florence and to the central station.

This hotel is excellent, service offered by the hotel is very good, is very well located from all interesting places and the Rail station, is not neccesary to take taxi or bus to go to any interesting place from the hotel. In my next trip to Firenze I will stay again at this hotel.
