    Standard of the room was a bit disappointing, but was clean. Accessibility to rooms is difficult for anyone with hip, knee or back issues as you will need to climb a very long, steep set of stairs upon entry and then another easier set of stairs to the room

    Location was amazing, and staff were very accommodating and friendly.

    The water temperature in the shower was tepid at most, but that was actually fine with me since I worked up a sweat every day. Another issue that wasn’t a problem for me, but might be for someone with mobility issues, is that the elevator only worked sporadically. They were getting it fixed so may not be an issue going forward, but a good question to ask before booking if you can’t climb stairs.

    The staff - every one of them! - was so friendly and helpful. They helped me avoid a major mistake (going to the wrong bus station) and made sure my trip ran smoothly.

    There are many stairs to the reception. This was fine but could be an issue for some. There was a lift after the first flight of stairs.

    The team at the hotel were very welcoming and looked after us nicely. The room was great for our purposes and the location was ideal. They kindly stored our luggage for a few hours too.

    The reception desk is at the second floor which requires hauling your luggage to the first where there is a small elevator which can fit only 2 people, they should have some bellhops for tired travelers to help with the luggage movement

    Location is amazing, walkable to Duomo, the Accademia and other landmarks, Florence is really beautiful and the hotel allowed us to explore it very easily

    Nothing, there are some stairs to climb but the building is not modern so it was to be expected.

    The staff makes you feel right at home the second you arrive. The rooms are gorgeous and super clean. If you need a place to stay in Florence, please stay here, you won’t regret it!!

    The elevator was weird.

    The Room was gorgeous and spacious. The view to the river was magnificient. The breakfeast was delicious especially the croissants. The staff were really welcoming and helpful with great tips to the city's places to eat or to visit. Excelent location near the Vecchio Bridge and the city center.

    The location was great. Turn right or left outside the door and you find yourself in the Centre of historic Florence. Monti, our host / concierge, was terrific. from the minute we arrived at the front desk, he made us feel welcome and comfortable. He provided us with great information about sites that were a little off the beaten path, restaurant recommendations that are normally only frequented by locals, and was able to find find us a taxi when we were running late for a local event. Monti and the staff at Hotel Alessandra were instrumental in making our stay in Florence very memorable.
