Staff gets mixed reviews
Albergo Firenze is a simple mid-range hotel within a five-minute walk to the Duomo and the Bargello Museum in central Florence.
The 57 rooms have had modern updates, but still show some datedness and can get noise from hallways and the streets. There aren’t many common
spaces or lots of amenities, but there is free Wi-Fi and a free breakfast
buffet with pastries, cheese, and meats served in a simple, cozy breakfast room. Guests may want to compare rates with Hotel Cellai, an upscale hotel with a charming rooftop garden, which is nicer and often similarly priced -- though the Albergo Firenze's location is slightly more central.

Scene
Simple, centrally located mid-range hotel
Albergo Firenze is a basic three-pearl hotel located in the heart of central Florence. The
entrance is tucked into a corner on a stone street and
marked with charming lanterns. Inside, a tiny lobby area has a seating area with
worn, basic blue fabric chairs and pale yellow stools. Behind the curved front desk
is a wooden cabinet full of cubbies to hold the room keys of guests when they
step out of the hotel. Hallways are plain and a bit dated with white and olive
green walls. Guests returning later in the evening can be noisy at times. Breakfast
is served in a spacious, simple room with a large fresco of the city, while fresh flowers make nice centerpieces on the white tables. This mid-range property offers a clean and basic place to stay, though some guests have complained about street noise.
Location
In the city center near plenty of shops and restaurants
Albergo Firenze has an excellent location through a stone archway just off the Via del Corso in central Florence in Piazza Donati. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops
nearby, and it's within a
five-minute walk to several of the city's top attractions including the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo), Bargello
Museum, Uffizi Gallery, and Piazza San Firenze. The Florence airport is within a half hour drive or ride on public transportation.
Rooms
Clean, spacious rooms with some renovations and outside noise
Rooms
at the hotel are a mix of old and new: There are signs of renovations such as modern headboards with matching
desks but some of the tile floors have dirty grout and beds are covered with thin bedspreads rather than duvets. Accent walls with textured paint or wallpaper and artistic pictures of Florence add a touch of character to some rooms.
Bathrooms are small without much counter space. They have stand-up showers or
shower/tub combos, heated towel racks, hairdryers, and meager amenity
kits. All rooms have flat-screen TVs,
free Wi-Fi, and private safes. Guests complain that rooms get noise from both outside and from the hallways, with noisy guests returning late at night.
Features
Free breakfast buffet and free Wi-Fi
There aren’t a lot of amenities at the Albergo
Firenze, but there is a free breakfast buffet served in a large room including yogurt, cereals, pastries, and cheeses. Milk is available as well as three coffee machines for guests to use. The
hotel has elevators and free Wi-Fi. There’s also an Internet corner in the lobby
with two computers for guests to use.
