Hotels near University of Florence Natural History Museum in Florence

We arrived at the hotel pretty late as we were travelling from Rome. Gabriele was pretty prompt and sent us all the necessary information ahead of our arrival as the reception service was until 3pm on Sunday. The room was surprisingly nice and clean, and indeed exceeded our expectation. Even though for just a night I thought this was a pretty good one. Nearby hotel has a nice pasta restaurant Al Peposo, just need to walk about 10 mins. Day time you can just walk towards town areas, you won’t get bored with the surroundings.

We stayed for 3 nights in April, the Hotel was clean, convenient, quiet and comfortable. The staff were lovely without exception. Everyone from the front desk to the breakfast staff and room service were friendly and helpful making us feel very welcome. Our room was at the rear of the hotel (204) with a balcony which was a pleasant surprise. The view was nothing special as it overlooked the rear of other properties but it was nice and comfortable and very quite. There is a Spa that you can book for your exclusive use. This is sometimes included in your deal but otherwise is 25 euros each for 50 minutes and well worth it. The view from the roof top is superb and you can get a drink from the reception bar and take it up there or even take your own bottle of wine! Breakfast centres mainly on pastries, fruits and meats. There is a “hot” option of eggs and bacon but is only ever warm at best. However, the pastries are very nice and more than enough available. It also has to be the most convenient trip I have ever experienced from Airport to hotel! Exit the airport turn left and walk to the tram stop about a minute away. Take the T2 tram to UNITA and get off at Rosselli. That’s it!, it takes about 20 minutes and when the t4am leave you will be facing the hotel. It cost 1.50 euros each. You can buy the tickets on the tram platform but I would visit the shop Hudson as others have mentioned on here and get them there as there can be a queue to get your ticket on the platform. Don’t forget to slide it into the machine to validate it when you board. The hotel is about 15 minutes walk for the “Dome” in the centre and about 25 minutes to the bridges on the river. There are some excellent restaurants such as Casa Ciabattini and Osteria Vecchio Cancellous within 6/7 minute walk both of which I would highly recommend. I would not hesitate to return.

What a friendly and clean hotel! Convenient, excellent continental breakfast (even included eggs!), and superb staff to help with everything. Miguele, at the front desk was especially helpful with our entire 3 day stay. Parking was a big bonus, not usually included in this price range.

This was my first hostel experience on my own and it was soooo good! I felt very safe, staff super friendly, the room and common areas had everything you could ever need! Locker in the room was huge... I had enough space to keep all my things safe, but you need to bring your own padlock (maybe the hostel could make that clear on the booking? although I was prepared, another lady in the room was not ;)). Location great, very close to station (but far enough away that it wasn't a problem....), very close to the sites, restaurants and bars. I would happily return to an Ostello Bello! Grazie

Few minutes walk from the station past McDonald’s (exit the station from the left). Hotel is set back so can easily be missed. We had a room for three, one double bed and a low camp bed. Rooms made up everyday and towels changed frequently. Wardrobe with plenty of hangers, safe, complimentary water in fridge. I asked if we could have a kettle and this was no problem. Bathroom quite big, shower cubicle with toiletries. Lovely white, big bath towels. Great location for lots of great restaurants and only minutes away from attractions. Rooms are quite warm but there is air con. Breakfast consists of yogurts, fresh fruit, breads, croissants, scrambled eggs and great coffee. Hotel staff are so helpful, even printed out our tickets for one of our trips. Would stay there again, next time exit the train station from the left!

It's very nice to be able to go directly from the train station with just one tram ride. At this price, you have to bear the tram for about 20 minutes. + The area is very pleasant. (There is nothing bad about it) Still, I liked the scenery and had a good night! +There is a balcony!!! (It feels good to go out at night)

Very very beautiful hotel, the third time to visit Florence, this time with my father-in-law, find this hotel is really happy, but need to be convenient for driving, there is a parking lot downstairs, very good, very good parking, breakfast is awkward, Great, and fruity

L unica cosa buona è la posizione , la gentilezza di averci fatto avere la camera già alle 11.30 e averci fatto lasciare le valigie .peccato per la pulizia della camera mentre prendevo l' asciugamano ho visto le CIGLIA di quelle finte attaccate all asciugamano .orrore. ho non è stato proprio cambiato ma solo ripiegato oppure la lavanderia non ha lavato. Stanza 209. Poi un caldo assurdo durante la notte e non puoi regolarti l aria perché è centralizzata,quindi spalanco la finestra in piena notte,ma niente non si riesce a dormire per i rumori che provengono dalla strada. Poi al momento del ritiro dell auto nonostante li avessimo avvisati in anticipo di un ora, come richiesto da loro .l auto ce la riconsegnano con un ora di ritardo.

Villa Castiglione is located on one of the hills surrounding Florence, it is a peaceful and quiet place surrounded by villas and vines. Converted monastery now features artistically decorated interiors. Rooms are just spacious enough for a lovely stay, with ensuite modern bathroom. It is as seen on photos, clean and the staff speak English - even though they appear a bit slow and bored, they were friendly and very helpful, as well as offering advice on travel. Parking is free on the premises but be prepared for narrow windy road to reach the place. Breakfast has enough variety, but don't expect healthy options, it is generally pastries, yoghurt, cereal and eggs. Great coffee, as this is Italy, of course. Dinner is officially served from 7.30 but nobody started serving until 8pm and the menu is rather limited, lacking simple options for tired travellers such as soup or salad - and it was expensive, considering value for money. All in all, this was a great find and we can recommend the Villa.

We stayed only one night but I can say we were warmly welcomed from the beginning; we arrived at 9 a.m. to leave only the baggage and visit Florence,but the room was already free and they delivered it to us. Clean, full room, we noticed that it was very recent as furniture, very beautiful. We were given healthy advice on where to go to dinner ( advice rast l'amorino in Scandicci 3 minutes in car from the hotel). The gentleman who was at breakfast, gentle and always present from the evening before for any doubt or information; after breakfast we left the room but they allowed us to leave the car in their private parking until afternoon No charge and so we moved with the means (Tram stop at about 900 metres from the hotel)
