La Notte Blu

I stayed here for 3 nights and it was way over my expectations! I emailed some questions about the check-in (since I would arrive later than 12am) and I got a response very fast with all the information I needed so I could “self check-in”. The room had everything I needed, the breakfast was good and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again if I’m ever in Florence again!

Never stayed somewhere where there was no reception, but was perfect, I was emailed how to get in and with no hassle. Met the lady at breakfast and was very friendly and helpful. Only a 10min walk from il duomo, very safe area as a solo female traveller. Only downfalls tv did not work (didnt mind as was not in Florence to watch tv) and the lighting in the room was a bit dull,not a big issue. Otherwise perfect location and would recommend.

To begin with we didn't quite know what to expect when we booked this hotel. The good: 1.Spacious room 2.Clean 3.Shared bathroom was always clean and we never had to wait outside. 4.Walking distance from the Duomo (central point of the city) 5. Breakfast was decent (the only place in Italy I received my does of scrambled eggs) 6. The only hotel who actually gave us a 'receipt' for the tourist tax. (greatly appreciated) The things to keep in mind 1.It was just 1.7km from the station, however if you reach in the afternoon heat dragging your bags to the hotel can be quite a task. Not to mention the cobble stone roads dont lend themselves too well to dragging your luggage. 2.The doors downstairs - a new experience for us as we not not used to unmanned doors (however as we soon found out there a few people in Italy, unlike India and most entrances are unmanned with you having to buzz yourself in. All in all i would definitely recommend this place. -Gavin
