Hotel Cinzia - Florence

7.9

A family run B&B. It's in a wing of an apartment block. LArge bedrooms but average and small beds. Shared bathrooms. Very thin walls so you can hear all the other guests. Decore is very 1970s. There is free street parking, excpet on Saturday nights because of street cleaning. Then the closest free street parking is at least 500m away. However, it is only 700m fro the train stop, and it is only one train stop from the sentre of Florence. It is a cheap hotel - expect to get what you pay for. If you are not going to spend lots of time in the hotel, its perfect.

7.3

Hostal muy agradable, habitación grande para una estancia de 7 noches, muy llevaderas a pesar del calor por haber ventilador. Habitación limpia y la hacían regularmente, con baño privado sin plato de ducha. Violeta la recepcionista es muy agradable y te da las indicaciones que necesitas. Bien comunicada, a 5 minutos de la estación de tren de Rifredi, a una parada de Santa Maria Novella, en una zona nada turística y sin apenas atractivo pero por otro lado lejos del bullicioso centro, ideal para descansar tras un largo día de visita. Recomendado a gente joven que busquen un lugar barato y cerca del centro. Laura (20) y Rodrigo (20). España.

This hotel was amazing. The woman who greeted us, and her husband, were always so kind. They made our stay in Florence unforgetable, and theyir kindness inspired us that hotel owners still care to be personal, loving towards clients, and all around professional people.

8.8

A bit difficult to find, but once you're there, the centre of Florence is easy to reach on the train (just 5 mins). Clean rooms, and one of the most welcoming owners I've ever met! Made our stay lovely. :)

8.8

We felt extremely welcome when we arrived at Cinzia. The rooms were clean and quiet and it was only a short walk from the Rifirenze train station.

7.2

Chambre agréable et propre.Attention douche et toilette ne sont pas dans la chambre.Les lèves tard trouverons la rue un peut bruyante.Si vous venez en train,prenez un billet pour"rifredi"cette petite gare est plus commode pour rejoindre le centre et moins chère que le bus(1.10euros contre 2.00e pour le bus)

7.9

There are cost-free parking lots in front of the hotel but it can happen that you have to look for a free one quite a while. The easiest way to get to town is with the train - the station is a 5-10 minutes walk away.

8.4

A little far out, but the buses were easy to get to and went to central locations. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. Room was comfortable and clean... overall a very nice place to stay at a fairly good price for that time of the year.

8.3

Spacious, clean and good value for money being only 4 blocks from Refredi Station (500m)and then one stop to main Novella station. Well stocked supermarket and other shops nearby, has lift, and is very clean and secure.We felt safe in the area day and night. Staff were very helpful and communication in english is possible. Street parking in front is often full and you wait (we waited up to 20 minutes once) for a vacancy to appear.Sunday between midnight and 6.00 am streets are swept and cars have to be moved to public parking at nearby railway station (costs a euro) for this day only. GPS found it OK but web map looks difficult to me as is all of Florence with their one way systems. Breakfast average by Ausrailian standards but not an expensive extra.

9.8

Although, this is rated as a one star hotel, BUT the quality of the service that we received were amazing! The owner was very helpful during our stay. The rooms and the shared bathrooms were very clean. The hotel is just a little bit outside the centre of Florence.You can get to the city in 10 mins, this hotel is value for money especially if you are going to be travelling for a while. We found this local pizzaria, and their pizzas were the best we had in Italy!

9.9

Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel kept very clean.

5.1

This is more bed and breakfast type as there's no toilet/shower inside the room. Hard to gain access as the only 2 toilet/bathroom were occupied most of the time in the evening. Rooms are in an appartment complex. No airconditioning and the price paid was close to other 3-star hotels in the area.

9.9

A very nice and clean place. Better than I expected. I absolutely recommend this Place!

6.5

Use a GPS TO GET THERE,very friendly couple always a smile and willing to help.

6.6

Struttura non nuovissima...ma gentili e accoglienti i gestori, pulite le camere e anche i bagni che sono in comune! la colazione non é compresa nel prezzo della camera, ma é abbondante. Unica "difficoltà" é arrivarci se non si ha il navigatore satellitare. Se i vostri vicini di camera sono rumorosi puo' essere un problema perché si sentono molto i rumori che arrivano dalle altre camere...ma nel complesso il giudizio generale é buono.

8.1

The hotel was not in the main city center of florence, but was just a train stop before in a quite part of the surrounding area. The Hotel is a one floor hotel in a neighborhood. The guy who works at the hotel is the twin brother of danny devito I swear! The hotel is a bit of a walk from the train station but the rooms are clean and there is a clean bathroom and shower. The only downside is that around 7am the danny devito look alike tends to yell at what I can only assume is his wife. Overall good for the price and always felt safe.

9.0

Hotel sencillo, un poco apartado del centro pero muy recomendable por el trato recibido y por la relación calidad / precio.

9.5

This was the bargain of our two months in Italy. It was our first time at an one star hotel (so we were nervous), but it was as especially clean and neat, the staff was as helpful as the best four star hotels, and we felt at home right away. We were there for 5 days in September and returned for a four day stay in October, and we will not consider staying at any other hotel in Firenze.

8.3

nice hotel in suburbs of Florence. Warm and welcoming staff.No problems for car parking.20min on a bus to city center.

6.5

Room is clean and the surrounding area is very quiet. And the reception is very welcome. The mainly points, one is that the location is a liitle far fron the main street area, second is that I was not allowed using credit card.

9.1

Estuve encantada de llegar al hotel Cinzia! Fue el mejor de todos los que había estado hasta el momento en Italia!!! Violeta es encantadora y servicial al máximo! El lugar es limpio, cómodo y te sientes como en casa! Además para el próximo año 2008 pondrán lavabos en todas las habitaciones!! Es muy fácil llegar en bus desde el centro y muy cerca hay una trattoria buenísima para cenar cuando regresas cansado de pasear, en la cual es servicio es muy bueno y los precios justos (no como en el resto de lugares!!!) Si vuelvo a visitar Florencia, volvería al Cinzia sin dudarlo!! OJO, también te ahorras los 20-40 euros de parking diario!!!

7.1

Nice and cozy hotel. The receptionist (I think she's one of the owners) is quite friendly. Too noisy in the mornings. Good value for money.

6.7

Accueil très chaleureux.Très propre. Loin du centre mais bien desservi par le bus 20. Il s'agit plutôt d'un appartement aménagé que d'un véritable hôtel. La salle de bains est commune.

6.6

The price, front desk service and clean spacious room were great. The 15 minute bus ride to the main train station and the main tourist sights and figuring out how to do it was the biggest negative. The other was the high noise level where you could hear people using their sink in the next room and the shared bathroom doors across the hall were noisy.

8.3

La señora de la recepcion es muy amable, si vas con coche tiene facilidades para aparcar, esta algo lejos del centro y Florencia es carisima en cuanto a todo, los mosquitos son la muerte, hay un matamosquitos en el cajo, nosotro no lo vimos hasta el ultimo dia.El ventilador es muy efectivo y tiene una nevera en la habitacion

8.8

Fue bastante dificil encontrar el hotel, lo mejor es preguntar a la gente. La señora fue bastante amable. El sitio estaba muy limpio aunque todo se veia bastante anticuado. La relación calidad-precio es muy buena.

6.9

We drove in from the north and would have preferred to know that each of the mentioned streets is the obvious one - you just follow your nose! Once on Santo Stefano in Pane, you need to turn onto via delle Panche and then turn left at the third block on via Ragazzi del'99. The owner is delightful and very helpful, offering good advice on how to get into the centre of Florence by bus. For evening meals, there is one Trattoria close by. Breakfast at the hotel is okay but the local cafes offer more variety. Good for a family. Also for people looking for simple accomodation at a good price.

9.9

I loved staying at the Hotel Cinzia in Firenze, Italy. It was so clean and comfortable. I felt like I was treated like family. The staff went way far beyond friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again and would suggest it to anyone. It is close to all public transportation and, though it only has I think 6 rooms, and 3 bathrooms, they were always clean and well kept. I think the only drawback, which is nominal, is that finding the hotel was a little confusing. I don't blame the staff, but my lack of ability to follow directions. If someone is going to stay there, and gets off on the #28 bus, the road "Via Ragazzi del 99" is actually blocked and no longer used from the main drag, but there are road guard pipes closing it, which can be walked through, not driven through (not on the end of the road opening on "Via Della Panche"- the 20 bus line runs on- there's no block there) Well, all in all I loved it and think it's one of the best!

8.6

It is a nice property away from the city center but easily reachable by bus - 15/20 minutes. I would recommend this hotel for sure!

3.6

The staff were very nice though they speak little English.

5.5

Questo è un hotel dove si spende una cifra ragionevole, per essere a firenze, ed i servizi sono compatibili con la classificazione alberghiera (1 stella). Il mio soggiorno è stato brevissimo, 1 notte, dunque non posso che dare un giudizio superficiale nei punteggi che ho indicato. Ho apprezzato molto la cortesia e disponibilità dei proprietari, le ottime informazioni che mi hanno fornito per muovermi in città ed il fatto che mi abbiano lasciato dormire fino alle 11 senza reclamare , giustamente, la stanza libera. Uniche pecche: 1) dalla camera si sente qualunque cosa avvenga fuori dalla porta; 2) su venere c'è scritto zona fortezza da basso, il chè non è vero poichè l'hotel è in prossimità della stazione Rifredi, la fortezza è molto distante, anche se raggiungibile facilmente in linea retta dall' hotel. Ciao Hotel Cinzia, se vi capita fate un salto a Marina Romea (avete il mio biglietto da visita)!

9.1

Near at the location where I must go, clean and quite, good service for a little price at firenze. Vicino a dove dovevo andare, pulito e tranquillo, gran servizio per un prezzo imbattibile a firenze.

8.6

Clean and comfortable but outside noise at times was unwelcome. Better instructions needed for where to get off bus in order to reach hotel.

7.2

Oubliez les standards francais et vous ne serez pas dessus. L'hotel est a 10min du centre ville (en voiture) proche d'une pizzeria que je conseille fortement (prix, proprete, qualité) a cote d'un arret de bus, tranquille au niveau du quartier et pas loin d'un café pour le petit dejeuner (croissant....) les employés parlent assez bien francais/anglais, donnent des infos impec. Seul regret, le bruit des autres chambres, pas de garage, je le conseille

9.7

Great hotel on the outskirts of Florence - in quiet residential area, near train station (5 minutes from central station, eu1.10 by train). Shops & restaraunts nearby, much cheaper than staying in the city center. Staff very friendly and helpful. Venere map is incorrect, just call ahead - getting there by train is actually quite easy, no need to pay for a cab.

9.4

Excellent welcoming and a very good quality of the service provided.

9.1

The highlight of this place is the host, he was really fantastic, and he gave us some great suggestions of different places to visit. The hotel itself is a bit far from the city centre but there is a bus that passes quite regularly that goes right to the centre. For the price, this place is definately worth it, especially since it's located in a residential area, so we were able to park right outside for free.

7.3

It's a pity the other travellers were so noisy in the corridors at night. But the staff is very nice and helpful.

6.8

Quite pretty hotel. When you see the location on the map, you can think that it is far away from the midtown, but in really, you take 15-20 min by bus to reach the train station Maria Santa Novella. However, there is not much things to visit for pedestrian just close to the hotel. A good hotel...

8.9

struttura modesta ma pulita e funzionale ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo,e ben collegata con mezzi publici al centro della città

5.8

we were very upset to find out that the coffe and rolls we had for breakfast were 8 euros when we thought the breakfast was complementary. overpriced by far!!!!!

8.2

eldueño muy amable y nos facilito la estancia mucho, muy correcto el precio con el establecimiento

7.2

The room given to us had before us beeing used by smokers. The room smelled awful.

9.9

Marco is a FANTASTIC host! We had a great 4-day stay here. I don't think we would have enjoyed Florence as much if we had stayed at another hotel. Clean, comfortable bed and very nice sheets. Make sure to ask him about the two great restaurants in Florence.

4.8

The hotel offers a garage - it still has no parking area, tv ist only from Italy, breakfast is poor.

9.5

Ernesto de Mexico, : everything was perfect although we spent a few hours to find the hotel. It´s a little complicated, so I will suggest to put in the web a detailed way to arrive. It´s not enought with the information that is given. I will say that people who's in charge of the hotel, are very kind and accesible, and always try to help, rooms are spacious, and bed was really comfortable.

6.4

I still don't like shared bathrooms and this rooms may have enough space for a bath on it's on, the price is hi for the room you get, but still usefull if you have a couple of extra euros. There very strict about they're policies of cancelation and "not showing up", I got my car broken and they didn't have any considerations even when I told'em what the problem was, I still had to pay the night I didn't showed up complete

9.6

The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. We have stayed four nights in this hotel. It's very clean and comfortable. It locates in residental area so we can find free car parking in front of the hotel. It also has convenient connection by bus to the city center. We will stay in the same hotel if I visit Florence again. Cinzia µÄÀÏ°å¶ÔÖйúÈ˺ÜÓÑÉÆ,Ò²ºÜÀÖÓÚÌṩ½¨Òé. ËäÈ»ÂùݵÄλÖò»ÔÚÊÐÖÐÐÄ,µ«ÓаÍÊ¿¿ÉÒÔÖ±½Óµ½»ð³µÕ¾,»ð³µÕ¾ÀëÖ÷Òª¾°µã¶¼ºÜ½ü,ËùÒÔÂù·½±ãµÄ.

9.6

Great place. Very clean and comfortable. The only bad thing : breakfast. It's 4€ and ver poor, just some toasts and coffee. Any thing else was wonderful.

9.0

Very pleasant owner, friendly and always helpful. The place was very clean. Slightly far from town, but conveniently accessible via buses and train.

9.1

Schönes kleines Hotel in ruhiger Lage mit freundlichen Servicekräften, ideal für einen Kurzaufenthalt in Florenz, Parkplätze direkt vor dem Hotel

8.1

Hotel tres agreable, tres propre, et prix conformes a ceux annonces sur le site. Accepte les cartes de credit. Les hotes parlent francais, ne pas hesiter a leur telephoner si vous vous perdez en cherchant l'hotel (le plan sur internet est illisible, se munir si possible d'une carte des environs de la ville): pour le trouver, suivre la direction de l'hopital careggi, puis chercher la place Dalmazia, puis demander votre chemin, vous êtes tout pres. Very nice place, very clean, and prices are those announced on the website. Credit cards accepted. Be careful, the map of the area is unreadable, try to get a map of Florence's surroundings before getting there. To find the hotel, follow Careggi Hospital direction, then look for Dalmazia plazza, and finally ask your way: you are almost there. You can call the hotel to ask how to get there too, people are very nice...

8.1

a nice hotel, I really enjoy the day I lived day,although very short-just one day. But this hotel still give me a good momoery

7.2

the relationship between price/quality is very well and the hotel is clean with very polite employees. the only disadvantage is, that the hotel is located on the outskirts of florence and it takes 20-30 min to reach the center by bus

8.1

Only one problem: could be a bit noisy if your room overlooks the street but the manager is really nice and helpful. Day trips to the town center are easy by bus.

6.0

We got there (good directions) and found out that there was no room available for us... But the owner was very kind and had already arranged a room in a nearby hotel. This one turned out to be better quality and they kept the same price for us.

9.0

L'hotel est loin du centre de Florence mais facilement joignable en bus. Avec une bonne carte de la ville il n'y a aucun problème. Le responsable de l'accueil est vraiment chaleureux. Les chambres sont spacieuses et très propres. Il y a un ventilateur au plafond ce qui est très appréciable en période de canicule !!! Nous avions une chambre sans douche mais avec un lavabo et les salles de bains étaient assez nombreuses et bien entretenues. On peut prendre le petit déjeuner sur place. Le quartier est calme et bien fréquenté. C'est un hotel que je recommande vivement !

5.8

If you want to find the hotel by the map you will be in serious problems! it is almost totally wrong!! the hotel is really far away from the train station and the main sightseeings! Anyway, the price is good and the breakfast is included.

7.5

Not easy to get to the hotel because it is quite far from the city centre. But is very convenience by bus. The room is very big and nice...and the room rate is really cheap. If i go Florence again I will choose Cinzia again..

9.8

Ich würde erneut buchen. Sehr freundliche Unterkunft + gute Atmosphäre. Preis / Leistung stimmt.

8.8

Woman was very kind and helpful, we were given clear directions on how to get into the city. She spoke good English. Location not ideal, we caught a bus into the city at night and the station we arrived at felt very dodgy. Room was spacious and comfortable.

7.1

Good but beware, no breakfast is available.

9.5

A very good hotel for those want a value for money room. Spacious, clean with welcoming emploees but w/o private bathroom and 10' away from the central monuments. Generally I had a great time there and sure it's gonna be my choice if I ver visit again Florence.

8.5

I didn't know what will be in this trip before I came to cinzia. I wanted to thank cinzia very much after I leaved there.

8.6

The hotel is a little bit outsite the center, but you can reach it without any problems by bus. Very lovely staffs. The rooms are very simple, but cheap. Perfect adress for people with small buget. I would stay there again.

8.4

Pros: Good value (50 Euro for a double as of July 2004) Friendly, helpful staff (e.g. they reserved uffizi tickets for us) Quiet neighbourhood. Cons: Location is the obvious one. It's about 15 minutes on the No. 28 bus from Florence train station. Not the easiest place to find but at that price it's worth it.

9.2

It was our first visit in florence and I can recommend the cinzia hotel for everyone, who doesn't need a full service hotel, but a good price/quality hotel as base for his florence visits. The staff is very nice and helpfull. Its easy to go to town, bus Nr.28 gets you to central station in about 15 minutes. We really enjoyed our stay there!

6.7

Clean, and comfortable. Very difficult to find. Online map was useless, no directions provided. Essential to have basic Italian travel phrases, desk clerks did not speak English.

9.5

We try to come back next year.

8.8

Allthough my friend and I stayed for just 2 nights at Cinzia as against the many we had planned I would definitely say that of the 4 hotels we eventually stayed at in Florence our experience at Cinzia was amongst the best. Unfortunately it was far from our place of work so we had to move.

9.7

MArco the recpetionist made out stay a wonderful experience with lots of helpful tips. We drove into florence and had some difficulty finding the hotel - invest in a good road map if you're driving as the hotel is far from downtown (15mins by bus) and it's not on any guidebook maps. nevertheless because it was so far from downtown it meant we had free èarking and the bus service was convenient. Marco is awesome and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Florence.

9.7

this was the cheapest hotel in town, and was still very clean and well run. though it is not very close to the center of town, it is easy to get to by bus (number 14 to giulliani 5, i think.) if you don't stay out past midnight. the staff was very friendly and helpful, (they even let us borrow some shaving cream!) i would definitely stay here again.

9.2

However the hotel is not in the old city the connections by bus and by train are great. The knowledge of Firenze makes the owners great gides to explore the city. If told in time even reservations can be made by them.

8.2

Next time we book again.

6.5

the location as indicated on the map is incorrect and cause misunderstanding.

7.4

The hotel is very far from the center of town and very difficult to find - in fact there was no real map given online. If you are taking the train - get off the stop before the central station - at Rifedi. Walk one block away from station and you'll hit a main street. Cross that street, turn right, then left at the corner bar that's on a strip with apartments, offices, etc. then turn right again - you'll see an exercise place. Walk about 100 feet and it's on your left. If this sounds complicated, there's the main guy who runs the bar just outside the Rifedi station who can draw you a map. Ask for a room that's not next to the W.C. - otherwise if you are a light sleeper, you will hear every person who goes to use the WC. The bus into town runs frequently on the main street but it's still pretty far so you can't return to take a siesta. The woman manager speaks great english and was extremely helpful in calling a couple places for us for our next stop.
