Lodgings Help in Florence
by waterbomb
Hi, I'm going to be spending a couple of nights in Florence in early December and need some help on hotels. I have shortlisted some and would appreciate any comments:
1. Hotel Donatello
2. Hotel Jane
3. Domus Florentia
4. Alba Hotel
5. Hotel Orgcana
6. San Giogio e Olympic
7. Machiavellie Palace
These hotels should have heaters in winter, right?
Best value hotel in Florence?
by PLCain55
I know it is a loaded question, but which hotel is the best value for LOCATION in Florence? We don't mind a lot of walking, but assume we need to be in the central part of Florence. I also assume that hotels in Florence are a bit pricey. We a trying to set a budget for hotels for a trip next September. Thanks in advance.

I just came back from there. There is a Hostel like establishment called Pio X and it is quite in the center. We paid 17 Euro and it had a shower and toilette

I would recommend Villa Belvedere, just 5 minutes outside the "city walls" on a hill overlooking the city. The propietor is wonderful and the food and accomodations are great.

You won't enjoy driving around Florence itself... but a car is nice to have if you want to see more of Tuscany and other towns. We stayed in Florence (easy to walk almost everywhere) and then got a car at the end of our days there and spent the rest of our holiday driving around. It's easy in the countryside... not so easy in the city.

It's better to find an hotel in the city center.. you can go everywhere. A car can become a problem 'cause the city center is closed to people who aren't resident there.
Firenze is great! Have a nice stay! We know it very well..
If you need more suggestions..

Hi I have just arrived back from Florence I stayed at the hotel Jane on the Via Orcagna it was a 20 mins walk from the city center small friendly and clean at a reasonable price, the walk was a very pleasent one either along the river Arno or along cobbled streets with shops to interest you. A very good restraunt the Chibellini on the Piazza Saint Peter Maggiore, very good value

very nice hotel ive been there in july its 2 min from Academia or San Lorenzo Church Capella Medicci
and 3 min to Doumo
i think its the best solution to stay in a center rather to drive from a side, besides cars aren't allowed to move inside an old city so ull have lots of problems with car
thank you guys
by amyjam
