Lovely hotel with personality. I actually felt like I was back in time. Excellent location. We walked everywhere. And the train station is around the corner. So we came from Roma by train, walked to the hotel from the station. My 68 yo mother walked that distance with a carry-on, you can do it to :). Everything was clean. Had a safe inside large enough for laptop. We have one queen and one small bed. The small bed was not the most comfortable, but manageable. Air conditioning was working fine and you can control the temperature yourself from inside your room. Hot water, amenities, all there, nice. The restroom door is a sliding door, so is not like a regular door but it does the trick. I might be blind but only could find one electrical outlet. Luckily, I carry a power strip so I could charge, camera, battery, and phones, computer all at once. Breakfast was great. Also there is a free drink during happy hour. Nice. Can store bags before or after check in/out before you head out to your next destination. Very nice hotel. Recommended.

This hotel is a gem. It is under five minute walking from the Florence train station. The hotel staff was nice, the hotel was very clean, and had a very nice breakfast. Also good air conditioning.If you’re traveling with the family of four they offer a wonderful two story room that has a big queen size bed on the first floor and then upstairs a loft area with two twin beds. It is walking distance to all of the shopping and restaurants in Florence. They have a nice happy hour with a free drink on certain nights of the week, but always have some snacks and water available in the bar area.

I had a great time at my short stay at Hotel Alba Palace! The staff were welcoming and the room was spotless. I was pleased to be able to store my luggage there for a few hours after I checked out while I waited for my transportation to arrive. Thank you!!

This was a great experience. I was traveling with my husband and two children aged 11 and 14. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are large. In fact, our bathroom had two sinks a bathtub and shower. The breakfast had a lot of options and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The biggest shout out and praise goes to Marco, who helped us out in a bind! Unexpectedly, our flights going home to the United States were canceled, and Marco helped us call our Italian airline to get us on a different flight. He also helped us find a hotel reservation in Rome and spoke Italian to the people there and that resulted in a reduced rate. This is a great place to stay, especially for a family. We stayed here at the end of our 14 day trip and really loved it.

This little hotel, just a block from the train station, is a quiet respite from the busy Florence scene. It is convenient to the sights, and provides a generous breakfast. It has an unusually large elevator and comfortable lounge areas in the lobby and third floor balcony.

Lovely small hotel very close to the train station and the T2 tram from the airport. About a 10 minute walk to downtown Florence and the sights. Staff was very friendly and even held our luggage for us after check out before we could catch our train to Rome.
