I booked the hotel after seeing reviews online. When we arrived in Florence we were shocked to see the condition of the room and especially the bathroom. We could not cancel or get our money back so I figured I would tough it out. After walking around Florence for a few hours I knew I could not stay at the... more

We recently stayed here for three nights as part of a group trip to Tuscany. We were supposed to switch rooms (based on the comings and goings of part of our group) but the helpful and friendly hotel staff allowed us to keep the larger room at the lower price for all three nights.

This was our first trip to Italy and Florence was our first stop. Hotel Olimpia was a great great location. No frills but who needs them when you are in Florence and spend most of your time outside the hotel room. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was hysterical.

The Piazza Dell Republica out the front door is itself a historical landmark of the two first roads in Florence. The square has several nice cafes with live music, and there are shops all... more

This hotel was excellent. It was a large room with AC, a nice bath room, and a generous breakfast. Also, It was very cheap.

We stayed for 4 nights and we more than pleased. It's walking distance from the train station and the location is ideal for sightseeing.
