Not impressed
This hotel provide nice breakfast, the staffs are nice. But don’t think this is a 4 star, especially the hardware part. Due to this experience, I’m not confident for Best Western Chain. Here are something I don’t like: 1)Location: close to train station and not nice. Florence is a compact city, so you can find a nicer neighborhood, which you still can walk to train station. 2)Washroom is weird, they use open shower screendoor but this definetely can’t stop the water flood into the floor. 3)Lining (the bedsheets, curtain, floor carpet,etc) are too old. 4) Room lighting is energy saving as too white.

Bargain modern near the heart of Florence
We were very surprised by the amenities this hotel offered, although I understand that not all rooms are as large nor have a small terrace. The hotel restaurant was one of the best in Florence and the Hot Tub, terrace and common areas were an unadvertised bonus. We booked it as part of a "tour" through Expedia and would book it again if we return.
Traveler's tip on local attractions
You must book the Uffitsi but most other attractions did not have along line (at least at the end of May). My favorite paintings were by Masaccio at at the Cappella Brancacci and I would go back for those (where no appointment was necessary at the end of May).

I will strongly recommed this great hotel to anyone who visit Florence
It is my 7th city in Europe. This hotel is a great place to be if you visit the beautiful Florence, excellent location close to Train Station and to the meeting place square for most of the excursion, large,huge room for european standard, excellent and new bathroom, very nice, frindely and cooperative FrontDesk staff(most of the days), Restaurant and Bar staff, good breakfast with the BEST Cappuccino Coffee in Italy. I will definitively come back.
Some triple room have a Den for the children (great! and unusual in european hotels). Walking distance to Train Station, to meeting place for most of the excursions and to Florence Cathedral.
