I was very disappointed. A lot of noise from the gate on the ground floor opening and closing all day and night . We could hear every word from the room next to us. It was very cold in the room. The sink and toilet in the bathroom was a part of the shower which meant that the whole bathroom was wet after a shower. And it was expencive compared to f ex a double room incl bath in Madrid near Plaza Major which cost us the same but was great. I will never choose Centro Hotel Florence again.

Do not let them put you on the first floor - especially room 103. if you are in room 103 you will not sleep at all and will be the same as if your bed was actually outside in the middle of the street. unbelievably noisy. i complained and was moved upstairs the next night and it was 100% better. Note: no toilet or shower in rooms, you have to go down the hall and share.

I booked this online and was worried about its location and its general condition as it wasnt expensive at all, but everything was great! the location was spot on, 5 minutes walk from the cathedral and thats walking really slow! more importantly though it was clean so what more could you want?

Beware. This hotel advertises private bathrooms in the room. No! There is only a sink! The bath is down the hall! False avertising!! Staff was fairly friendly, but not very accomodating to a variety of requests. No extra towels. Towels are to used for 2 days - no exceptions.

I stayed 2 nights at Hotel Centro and it was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It is not a hotel. It's very similar to a crappy hostel. The breakfast is very small and horrible. The shower does not have a tub. The shower head shoots water onto the ground of the bathroom floor near a drain in the middle of the bathroom. I've never seen something like this before. The bathroom is soaked after showering. There was no A/C and we could not open the windows, because the sewage smell from the streets made us want to puke. In the morning, the construction and the people going to work was so loud that we could not sleep. We paid 180euro per night, which was a huge rip off. Stay at Hotel Corona about 4 blocks away. It has A/C, the rooms are much larger, the bathroom is nice, and they have an awesome breakfast. Plus, the price was 160euro per night. Go figure.

The external Private bathroom wasn't private. Located within walking distance from SMN train station and also walking distance from anything else in central Firenze. The hotel is located one block from the dome were all sightseeing begins.

Room is slightly cold because Window can't be closed tightly but you can get blanket and can avoid the cold anyway. Breakast is good and we are really pleased to stay here. Nice hotel for price and location and service!

Everything is European standard... meaning small. The room's clean and the reception is nice. Very close to all major attractions, walking distance.

as we get this room with a very low price it was good to stay in this place, except the quietness of the room because we were on street side,but for few days it 's ok.The hotel is very near of the whole main places to visit, it was very nice.

There was a problem with our room the first night and we ended up with an extra bed in a single room which was cramped and had lot of street noise. However, as promised, we were moved to a double room with double glazing. This was spacious and modern. We were very happy. The location is also excellent - very central.

Hotel Centro was a fantastic place to stay. The staff were very accommodating as we were staying 3 nights and then going on to Pisa. However Pisa did not have our booking and Centro had our room available for the next 2 nights. The staff were very helpful, one lady in particular. The were many front desk staff, all were nice bar one old man who was a very very grumpy person. Overall though, the place is a fantastic hotel and close to everything.

Overall, it was OK. The location is great. Not far from anything. My only problem was that I booked a double with a "private, external bathroom". But it turned out to be a shared, external bathroom. It was fine but not what I was expecting. Also, one of the employees was always "very busy" when we tried to ask a question.

This place is good if you want to travel inexpensively, but the noise level was pretty bad in the early morning hours. The other thing was that if you decide stay there during the cold months, be aware that they turn off the heat in the ealy morning. It can get a little uncomfortable to sleep in the cold. The people that run the place are nice and try to make you feel at home. It was good if you don't mind noise or being cold.
