Location is top ... however the rooms are simple and could do with a facelift. Beds are not great nor bad.

I stayed at the Croce D Malta for six days in August. As far as I can gather, it is fairly reasonably priced for Florence. Furthermore, the price I got through Venere.com was actually lower than the price the hotel had quoted me directly. The decor of the rooms was pleasant, and the rooms were clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. It's a pity the facilities in the hotel were not used more and the hotel could do more to encourage this - some soft music in the bar perhaps? A complementary aperitif on the roof terrace? I didn't make it to breakfast while I was there, but I did go to the roof terrace one evening, the sign said it was open from 5pm- 8.30pm, but on three evenings when I tried to go up about 8pm it was closed. The view was lovely, but admiring it with a glass of Chianti in my hand would have been better. I had a really pleasant day doing nothing more than sitting by the pool, reading and chilling out, with the staff bringing me a Nastro Azzuro every now and again, but the area doesn’t get that much sun, I think it was shaded by about 4pm, so don’t go thinking you’re going on a sunbathing holiday. The pool was almost completely shaded so the water may have been a bit cool, I’m a wimp so I didn’t go in, but the staff will supply you with towels (for 7 euros, I believe). The garden was a bit tired looking, and as always in Italy – unfinished. (Note to hotel: The fish pond could do with some catfish or plecostomus to keep the algae down). I spent some time reading in the lounge one day during particularly heavy rain, the seals on the glass roof need repaired as the rain was leaking through and basins and towels were placed on the floor to catch drips. The lounge was quite nice to relax in, but again would have been better with some soft music. I didn’t use the hotel bar, as there was never anyone there. (Croce di Malta’s own website describes it as a piano bar, I didn’t notice a piano, perhaps because no one played it.) I didn’t use the ad

The Hotel and room was good, no problems. But we had a view on a some sort of a day center for semi-old italian men, one them had a new radio, which he turned on every morning, too loud and with a poor reception of some italian radiostation. Salvation Army style people Not really a problem, because we went out into the city. Now the two most biggest complaints!!!! First, the rules surrounding to take a swim in the small pool, you had to pay 7,50 euro for the towls extra and second.... At breakfast you have to pay 5,16 euro extra for eggs, bacon etc. We have never, really never seen this before. And we are experienced travellers. At for two nights more than 300 euro !!! The "breakfast sytem" was poorly !! After we had paid our bill, one simple goodbye, nothing more. One more thing.. they say you can have breakfast on the roof terrace. NOT. In 2004 the stopped doing that. But it is still on their internet-site. False information !!!!! All in all a nice hotel with some unpleasant surprises

The hotel is located in walking distance from the train station, so I did not have to take a taxi. I felt very safe during the stay. The breakfast could be upgraded for more satisfaction.

I would not recommend this hotel. The room we had had no shower head and when I asked to change rooms the atttitude was almost one of "what is your problem?". The renovation of most of the rooms into a hotel is awkward and not very attractive.

Great location, particularly if relying on the Florence railway at anytime during your stay. Pleasant staff, but hotel is in need of refurbishment. Trendy split level rooms are a feature.
