This hotel is in a fantastic location, literally only minutes from Santa Maria Novella train station and within 30 seconds of San Lorenzo and the market there. The staff, especially at the front desk are incredibly helpful and went out of their way to book restaurants for us in the evenings. The breakfast was poor but was included within our ...

House staff threw away notes and books on my desk. Desk staff tried to charge me an extra night without showing me any paperwork. No heating in a smelly room. The worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

The Astoria Hotel is well-located; easy walking distance to most sites in Florence. I'd say your stay will depend on which room you're given.

Ours (Room 302) was very disappointing. In a word, a dump. The window is a small, basement-type, 8 feet off the floor. No view and little air, which was a problem because the air conditioning ...

We had a standard room facing a busy street but slept safely and comfortably. Service is good but better with some concierge than others ~ I ...

Just returned from Italy, last days spent at the Astoria. Very clean, nice people, stop and have a drink at the bar and say hello to Emilio. I would stay there again, and most likely will next year. Close enough to the Duomo, train station, etc. Easy walk to Ponte Vechio, Pitti Palace, and great shopping. Everyone I met that worked there was friendly and super helpful.

Can't say enough about it - the room was comfortable and a nice size as was the bathroom; the staff were very helpful and courteous; we especially enjoyed Emilio the bar manager - he is in charge of the rooftop and inside bars. The location was perfect for shopping and sightseeing - very ...

My Wife and I stayed here teo nights on our Honeymoon. We had a huge balcony that looked out on the Duomo--easily the most amazing view from a hotel room I've had anywhere in the world! The staff was helpful and polite and the location was great (although it was a bit dodgy trying to locate the hotel, but then, that's driving in Italy!!)
