The positive- the location. You could not ask for a better location. Right by Gerato shop and all the other snack bars, Duomo, little bar where you can sit outside having beer and people watch.. For the location, which I always take the priority, I loved it. The negative- on my god. If you are a young back packer, the... more

The location is great, right on Via Dei Calzaiuoli which is a pedestrian street connecting most of the main sights. It is also 3 minutes aways from a lot of great restaurants. The building is very old but the rooms are ok. When booking ask for a quiet room not facing the main street. The breakfast was ok but not... more

I was going to write this last year since we stayed in October '07. Well first of all, despite the strategic location, this hotel was a bit hard to find. Perhaps the fact that we're tired by the time we got off the train might have something to do with it. Once we arrived, we're greeted in a somewhat aloof... more

We (2 adults, 1 teen) stayed here for 3 nights in a triple room. We had an excellent stay. The location is GREAT - just steps from the Duomo and short walking distance to Uffizi, Accademia, Ponte Vecchio, good restaurants, and shopping. The staff were friendly enough, room was basic and clean (some mold issues in the bathroom but no... more

This hotel has an excellent location. It is right in the middle of it all. The Duomo is at the end of the street and everything else is within a short walking distance. You can pretty much eat at any of the hundreds of restaurants in the area, tour the city, and then stop back to the room to take... more

This place has a great location if you're looking to walk to Florence's main sights. We priced several other options and decided that the few extra Euros were worth a more central location than constantly having to hoof it in to town or always be waiting for public transit. The room was comfortable, though not exceedingly spacious. It was clean... more

My husband and I spent 4 nights at the Maxim while in Florence . The location cannot be beat as it is within easy walking distance of all the major sites and the train station. It also has an internet point in the hotel, which is a plus. The room itself was very basic but large. The bathroom could have... more

My wife and I stayed there for three nights. the location is excellent, just a block from the Duomo and a short walk to most everything else. For such a location, the price of 108 Euro was perfect. It's a15 min walk to the RR station, certainly do-able. Our room was adequate in size, overlooking the inner courtyard. We could... more
