Albergo Firenze

Location.

Very noisy. The halls echoed and the door slamming was like it was on your bedroom. Could hear conversations and people above you “at night” like they were beside you. Rooms were dark and decor was tired. There were groups of teens - perhaps due to cheap price, but seemed like it was just a step above a hostel.

To be fair, the staff was friendly, hotel clean, and the breakfast was good. Location of this hotel is unbeatable, right where you want to be.

Maybe we were unlucky with the room (#306). It was located next to the elevator with window overlooking some kind of shaft. You could not keep window open because of smells coming from the shaft and hungry mosquitoes. First two nights we were assaulted by mosquitoes and could not sleep well. On the 3rd night we took care of all mosquitoes in the room and had a decent night sleep. The room was noisy - one could hear every sound from the hallway, which was strange in a building with substantial walls. The lighting in the room and bathroom was inadequate. Though spacious enough, they felt dingy and uninviting. Very limited choice of toiletries - tiny soap and a packet of shampoo/body wash; could be better.
