Hotel Rosso 23 is in an excellent location, very close to the main train station (the Santa Maria Novella Station). I was traveling by myself and chose this hotel for its location and its high rating. It was easy for me to walk to many local tourist destinations; most are within 15 minutes of walking. My room was quite small -- it fit a full size bed and one night stand with some room at the foot of the bed to accommodate the entry door and the built in closet. The bathroom and its shower are also very small, but maybe it's because I'm used to larger bathrooms in American hotels. I didn't mind the small room and bathroom, but I couldn't imagine staying with another person in this room. The breakfast is excellent...the food is varied and delicious; I enjoyed the fresh fruit, yogurt, deli meats/cheeses, pastries, juices, scrambled eggs, sausage, and a decaf latte each morning, which was a huge time saver. I also saved money since I didn't have to buy breakfast each morning. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again should I return to Florence.
