Santa Maria Novella hotels

The staff were friendly and very helpful. Altogether a lovely hotel

Attended Pitti trade show, easy walking distance to the fair, great restaurants, all the important tourist attractions and the train/bus station practically next door. Large piazza in front of hotel that is nice and quiet, and goes in all directions. Can't get lost, the church SS Maria Novella can be seen from anywhere in Florence.

Again, very convenient to the train station for dragging your luggage. Very convenient to ALL major downtown venues, including Palazzo Vechio, Duomo, Accademia, Uffizi, Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. Not inexpensive, but not the most expensive either. Breakfast was very good and staff fairly attentive. Rooms very clean and adequate in size. I would choose this hotel again, if arriving by train especially.

Went to this hotel for a long weekend at the end of February with my girlfriend. We had such a good time, we were given room 404 overlooking the courtyard. It was such a sweet room, which you had to go up a little staircase to get to, it was an excellent size and had real character with a kind of step up into an extra long bathroom. All staff were friendly and helpful with a special mention to the breakfast team, i didn't catch the name of the man who ran the service but he was esspecially friendly and helpful and I didn't see him once miss saying a cheerful hello to everyone in the room. The hotel is a very useful location being between the train station and the old town, which means you can walk to everything you would want to get to in 15 minutes. There is also a nice Jacuzzi in the courtyard which we used even though it was miserable outside, in the pool it was as warm as a bath. We got a great deal on the trip, and I would certainly recomend this hotel to others. Carl

Friendly, accommodating staff. Beautiful room with window that opens. Good window treatments with shutters to block the sun and street noise. Air conditioned. Less than 10 minutes to walk to the Santa Maria Novella train station. Close walking distance to historic sites, ristorante, mini supermarket, laundromat, leather markets etc Comfortable bed. Good spacious room with true Florentine feel. Bathroom has bidet and a corner shower. Nice continental breakfast, chocolate crepes and strong coffee to start the day. We stayed four nights and we will return to Marios when we return to Florence.

Little far from main center but worth the distance.

Had a great time. We had 3 nights here and the room was amazing. Nice big bath in marble and comfortable bed.

Very welcoming, clean hotel a stone's throw from S Maria Novella train and bus station. Excellent staff. Room + ensuite adequate size and well-equipped. Breakfast as good as you get in Italy: ham, cheese, toast, rolls, croissants, jams, juice, fruit salad (tinned) tea/coffee etc. Although there is a lot of traffic in the morning, double glazing and shutters keep it out completely (Our room was on the front) Aircon provided - not needed in October when we were there. 10 mins walk from Duomo and city centre. Lots of little reasonable restaurants nearby, including one recommended by the hotel which was excellent. (the hotel gave us a 12% discount card)

We had driven to Barga and realized at 10pm that we had left my husband's cpap machine. They had forgotten to put it in the car. They found it and drove all the way to Barga that night, at least 2 1/2 hours at night up a mountain road. They went up and above the usual and we can't thank them enough. An extremely wonderful gesture. I can't think of too many hotels that would do this.

Tip top all round. Barman was a great character and made a good stay the best.

It was our second stay in Florence; we booked it via Expedia based on the reputation of the hotel and were not disappointed. It is not too close to the main attractions but if you do not mind a good 15 minute walk it is an excellent place to stay.

I staied in this hotel with my family during a visit of Florence and we were very happy

We booked here for eight days and believe we got good value from the hotel.

Lovely hotel, on a quiet and elegant street. Close to the Arno, and about 15 minute walk from the train station. Our room had a balcony, that was a nice extra. The rooftop terrace is great and offers a fantastic view of Florence! The staff was helpful. We reported a problem with the TV, and by the next day it was fixed.

Excellent helpful communication from the hotel when I booked showed that this hotel cares about it's guests. Great location only five minutes walk from the main train station. Easy walking to many of the major sites. The hotel is clean, warm and comfortable, excellent value for money. Recommended.

On the whole a extremely good visit, saw all I wanted to see in Florence and because of being near all forms of transport, got to see Siena, Lucca, Pisa, Viareggio. Would have stayed longer sVerona
