“Good hotel...a couple of things to consider though!”
We booked the Select as it looked great in the photographs online and had reasonably good reviews. It looked like apartments from the photos and that's just what it was. Quality of fittings was good and the maid service and overall cleanliness was excellent. When we visited check in was actually at the Best Western Select which is just across the road, it doesn't state this when booking but don't be put off as the service from the front desk at the Best Western was excellent as well. You can also go there for breakfast at 6 Euro per person. For those who are uncomfortable with long walks, be warned, this hotel is a good 25 minute walk from the central attractions and at least 15 minutes from the main stations, Taxis are quite expensive in Florence and over a 3 day trip we spent a fair bit coming to and from, and in August heat you aren't always going to want to walk! There is also very little in the local area, no supermarkets within easy walking, although there are a couple of small bars and Tabachi which you can get water and snacks from if needed, other than that this really is a residential area and is on the whole very quiet indeed. Overall the hotel was of good quality, very quiet and easy to get to, although it may be too far out for some which, after Taxis, will definitely offset the initial cheapness of the room.
