Hotel Mario's - Florence

Its near to train station n within walking distance to major tourist attraction. The hotel lobby is very beautiful, however its not in the ground. If you hv heavy luggage, you hv to bring upstair. Wifi system is outdated, only giving you 20hours ( for 2days stay), you hv to login logout. Finding the page where to login logout is dounting job.

I spent a whole week in Florenz businesswise and was looking for a nice hotel in the centre of the city. Mario's is located very close to the station and only a few minutes of walking away from all the famous places. The owners are very caring and do everything do make someone feel at home. During my stay I had very loud room-neighbours and even that case they handled immediately and competent. I enjoyed Mario's very much and will book it again.

The staff persons were very nice and the hotel decoration with a classy taste plus the display of a variety of wonderful books gave a warm and relaxed feel. But the bed mattress needs a majore update.

Perfect location. Clean, quiet, and comfortable. Friendly staff.

We LOVED Marios. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The location was perfect - a short walk from the train station and a nice area.

Room was clean, lot of trouble with light in closet as well as with safe. breakfast is ok, only one kind of juice, no choice of cereal, buns are hard and dryed out. staff was very helpfull and courtious. no elevators in hotel

This was a great location, just 2 blocks from the bus depot and 3 blocks from the train station.

The welcoming was excelent. They give you a great map and explain very well the most important places that you should visit. You can walk every where from the hotel even to the train station. Just walk 5 minutes and you'll get to the Duomo. Breakfast was good.

Juste a point bath room is very very tiny

I recommend this property to all categories of people.

Easy walk from train station to hotel, and from hotel to museums and other Florence sights. Very accommodating and helpful staff - arranged for tours for us. Rooms and baths were large and clean. Morning breakfast was excellent. We would definitely stay again.

It's in good location,very close to SMN station.The man at the reception counter is very helpful.The breakfast is Ok.They bake every morning so the bread and croissant are all fresh.I'd like to stay here if I've a chance to visit Florence again.

Very sweet and attentive staff.

Hotel Mario's is a perfect small and quiet hotel if you wish to visit the artistic treasures of Florence. It is located within walking distance from all major sites and close to the train station. Rooms are very clean and tastefully decorated . Staff at the reception was extremely helpful and friendly.

It's very nice, the employees are always very kind (you can ask them to book for you dinner in a special restaurant or tikets for the museums)... and Florence is breathtaking, it doesn't matter how many time you visit the city, it's always wonderful!

Very nice, clean and quiet hotel. Very helpful stuff. Everything is perfect!

The hotel is in a good location, a five minute walk form the train station, and a casual fifteen minute from the Duomo. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the city. I was given a map of the city and directions around town. My room was very clean upon arrival and was cleaned everyday. The breakfast was good and ready a seven sharp. There are many fine restaurants close to the hotel. I ate at several of them and never had a bad meal. If I return to Florence I will definitely stay at Mario's.

2 night stay, good location close to railway station, friendly staff and reasonable breakfast, would recommend

Ganz ein tolles herziges kleines Hotel. Gerne wieder.

Hotel tres bien situé pour qui vient à pied de la gare. Accueil très souriant, chambre propre, l'hotel, qui occupe tout le premier étage d'une maison ancienne présente un cachet certain. La chambre était très propre, idem la salle de bain, le tout petit mais fonctionnel. Attention l'insonorisation entre les chambres n'est pas terrible et si vous tombez sur un voisin bruyant, vous profitez pleinement de sa compagnie. L'hotel est à portée de tous les sites touristiques, à pied sans problème.

The hotel staff were very friendly and could not have been more helpful in recommending restaurants, booking taxis etc. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the City Centre although the street it is on is relatively quiet.

What a great hotel!! I have stayed in many hotels throughout Italy and Europe and this was one of my favorites!! Leonardo and Omar were so helpful and accomodating. The rooms were spacious and very clean/modern. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge/bar area having cappucinos or wine and relaxing. It is located conveniently to the train and all major attractions, stores, restaurants and bars. I highly reccommend this hotel. Hopefully we will return to Florence and return To Hotel Mario!!! You will not be disappointed!

The hotel was located within easy walking distance of major sights. The staff was terrific. The evening pot of tea in the lounge was a terrific way to end the day (or if you prefer a drink that is also available). The rooms were spacious and well appointed.

The staff makes this hotel and the rooms are comfortable. The location is a short 1 minute walk from the central station. Careful with the address as Florence can have more than one of the same addresses on one street.

The Hotel is excellent. I stayed in different cities in Italy and the Mario´s Hotel was the cheapest and in the same time the best acomodation.

Good hotel, comfortable and large enough room and bathroom, altough lacking some renovation, nice and helpful staff, good breakfast, excellent location, close to train station and main attractions, favorable cost/benefit. Some noise from upstairs, like furniture being moved, but not very annoying. I would stay there again, and recommend it. Aos brasileiros - bom hotel, bom preço, recomendo.

The room was small, but clean and comfortable. The location near railwaystation (but in the quiet place) is excellent for train travellers - about 5 minutes from station and about 15-20 minutes from historical city center (Duomo, Palazzo Veccio,...).

I would definitely stay at Mario's again. Great location to train station and everything in Florence. Beautiful room, friendly staff, quiet, good price...definitely recommend.

The room was spacious, clean and nicely appointed. The Hotel is located in a good location, just a short 8 minute walk from the main railway station. The main tourist sites of Florence are all in easy walking distance from the hotel and there are lots of good restaurants in the immediate area. The staff on the front desk were very attentive to any needs and were very pleasent. Breakfast each morning was great. If I were to visit Florence again I would stay at this Hotel.

We loved it! Rooms are comfortable and quiet. Front desk employees were super nice. We would definitely stay again at Mario's!

Hotel Mario is a very charming hotel, clean, excellent location (easy walk to trains, museums, dining & shopping), friendly staff, excellent value. Caffe Americano the best I had in Italy.

Hotel Mario was in good location and we had a comfortable stay. I would reccomend anyone to stay here.

I had such a good time at Mario's with my parents. We got a triple room, which, thankfully, had a double and a single bed. (For some reason, a lot of hotels have three single beds in their triples...) The staff was so nice, and the breakfast was fantastic-- cappuccinos, tea, pannetone (it was Christmas), buns, meats and cheeses, yogurt, and a really good selection of fresh fruit. The staff was really helpful in recommending restaurants, making reservations, and being nice to my parents, who love to chat up Italians in Spanish.

We are two catalan (Barcelona) couples middle-aged, with a long experience in travelling and we have had a good impression of our stay in Mario's. Firenze is a city which dont need special conditions of lodging because people loves to be all time outdoor, but when the tourist arrives at "home" needs a minimum of comfort and cleanliness and Mario's offers this conditions. The people we have meet were polite and respectful

The decoration of the room was charming, the beds were big, clean and comfortable and the only thing that should be improved are the bathrooms, which are a bit old and small, though very clean. The people in the reception was very professional, and although the building is old, the inside is well preserved

We were here 3 years ago,and loved the hotel.As soon as we arrived there was quite a change. The staff was very nice. But it wasn't Marios. I ask where Mario was.And was advised the hotel had been sold. It was misppointing.But I must say the new owner is trying.They just don't have the same Feeling Mario himself gave to the hotel.I wish them luck and hope they bring back the same High Standards.As I remember from my previous visit.

I reserved 2 single rooms for 2 people. But I was so surprised to know that one of the rooms had no space for toilet and shower in the room !! So I had to go to another place( not so far form my room, though ) with toilet and shower with key. However this was very inconvenient. I asked to change the room but the first day they had no roons available. Next day, I changed to another room with toilet and bathtab in the room fortunately. This is my very first experience

We stayed in a double room May 24-28, 2007. The staff were wonderful - conscientious, enthusiastic, and always helpful. The room itself was lovely, well-equipped, spacious and actually nicer than we expected given the excellent price. The bathroom was immaculate, with a great shower and American hotel-quality towels (which were replaced daily). Breakfast was a significant cut above the usual coffee-and-croissant and served in a charming dining room. Internet access is convenient (additional charge). The staff are happy to make reservations or provide advice, and are cheerful to a fault. The location is quite good and convenient to most major sights (everything is very "walkable" in Florence in any case). If you are walking from the train station be sure to follow the hotel's directions completely about the route to take; we made a mistake and ended up hauling suitcases over many more cobblestones than necessary. The "correct" route keeps the cobblestones down to a minimum and really is only 5 minutes from the train station. Despite the hotel's proximity to the train station (and that piazza's reputation for unsavoriness), we felt very safe at all times. We would most definitely stay at Hotel Mario's again and would recommend it to anyone.

Great attitude, good service, bathroom a little small, great location.

Stayed in late April when temperature was in high 70s and hotel indicated they could not turn on air conditioning allowed the property was advertised as having AC. This meant leaving windows open to allow room to cool down at night which allowed the mosquitos and traffic noise in. Breakfast very forgettable.

For us it's a shame that the mario's hotel is too noisy and the breakfast room too small to be inmost because the people whose working there had been very nice and helpful for us and we thanks them. We've never been to Florence before.

The hotel is too old but very nice bed room and bathroom.We are much enjoyed the coffee that prepared by their staffs.The location is very closed to the train station.But unlucky,our bed room and bath room were without the key to lock the door.

We love this small hotel in Florence. It has friendly service, good location and valuable price.

We adored Mario's. The building was so charming and old-fashioned, the staff was helpful and welcoming, and the room was spacious enough and quiet. The location is extremely convenient. And at such a good price!! We will definitely be back.

Excellent hotel, small but boasting a very welcoming and warm atmosphere. There wasn't much to choose from for breakfast but everything was fresh and tasted great - quality over quantity! The hotel is on the first floor and there is no elevator but the receptionist was kind enough to help us with our luggage. Certainly recommended!

The staff at Mario's was very helpful and welcoming. They provided exactly what we booked for the price quoted. The atmosphere was comfortable, clean and quiet. The staff helped us with museum reservations and excellent restaurant suggestions. They even helped us rent a car, then stored our luggage while we are away for a day. We would definitely stay at Mario's again and recommend it highly.

We liked Mario´s very much! A lovely little hotel in a small street near the station. The staff were nice and helpful and the room was tastefully decorated. Excellent value for the money! We will absolutely stay here our next time in Florens! OBS! The location marked on the map was not correct!

We had a good stay at Mario's this past August. The room was clean and fairly large. Breakfast was simple and coffee was excellent. Only thing we didn't like was our room was right on the street across from a hostel. This meant we had to keep our window shut at night but we had no problem with noise, though. So ask for a room back from the street if you want to leave your window open. Overall a pleasant stay and we'd definitely go back again.

Perfectly located hotel with good staff and fair prices - to recommend!

Marios is very close to station..good for heavy luggage.staff very helpful and friendly. good English spoken .breakfast excellent. lots of good places to eat pm. near by. Takes about 10 mins to walk to Uffizzi. They lend umbrellas when it rains.I had a great time. thank you .

Despite the room and bathroom being quite limited in space, what was available was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Thorough recommendation as it is central, quiet, friendly, charming and perfect for a short stay.

Overall, stay was pretty good. There were, however, some things which detracted from the stay, such as disorganized breakfast at which one often had to ask for food to be refilled; the housekeeping was adequate, but could have been better. The hot water also ran out every morning if you didn't catch a shower by about 8:00. It came back by 10:00 or so, but it was an inconvenience. The air conditioner struggled to keep the room cool. We were there for several nights, and had some noise from the room next door one night. The street where the hotel is located has a number of hotels on it, and a hostel across the street, but it wasn't too noisy. Strongly recommend the restaurant down the street called Enzo and Pietro - we had some of our best meals in Italy there. Finally, on the day we were departing, we had a disagreement with the management about a charge on the bill. I will only say that a bit of customer service instead of temper on the part of the management would have been greatly appreciated.

Family of 3 in Firenze for the first time. Mario's has great staff, excellent breakfasts, and very stylish decor. Located two blocks from the train station, and a short walk from the main sights in the city. There are about 10 first-rate restaurants within 200 metres of the hotel, but reserve a table a day in advance at the popular ones. We recommend Mario's very highly.

One of the best hotel stays of my recent trip! A charming small hotel, short walk from train station and all the sites of Florence. The staff was extremely helpful, spoke fluent english and always attentive. This is a must in Florence, especially for the price

We had a problem with the electricity which meant the heating didn't work- It was solved the next day and they made a reduction on the bill. Nice people make an OK hotel much better. Location was OK. Breakfast area was small so we had to share table every time. Fine for a cheaper hotel.

THANK YOU VENERE.COM!!!! Mario's is a very nice hotel- it's central in a moderately nice area. Walking to anything really- I never had to taxi or bus there. The room was amazing- great king size bed and beatiful furniture. Clean and always open.

Mario's was a great hotel. The staff was always VERY friendly. THey even took did my laundry for 12 euros so I could go site see. Great place to stay!

Mario's is a very good choice for the price. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the location is great if you arrive at the Train Station - its 5 minutes walk, and you can walk to all the major sites easily. Good value for money, clean, and super staff.

This is not a Chain Hotel. Mario's is a small family hotel with character. It is very close to the Rail Station (but could not hear any trains!) and within easy walk of many of Florence's main attractions. We loved it. The flight of stairs at the start are daunting, but I'm sure the staff would have assisted if required. Probably not geared for small children, but a great place for older families and couples.

Some severe mold on the wall in the shower was the only thing that made our stay less than perfect. The service at the front desk more than made up for any shortcomings elsewhere. Our group also stayed in Venice and Rome for roughly the same price that we payed at Mario's and were sorely disappointed by our other hotels. I would definately stay here again.

The place to stay in Florence

Comfortable, secure and friendly...great spot

Every question and concern was answered with a smile. Mario and his staff handled our request for tickets to the Uffizi and a child's bed for our 17 month son with no hesitation. We felt pampered and would love to stay again.

WAS NOT PREPARED FOR STEEP STAIRS UP TO RECEPTION AND NO ONE WAS AVAILABLE TO HELP WITH MY LUGGAGE BECAUSE DESK PERSON WAS ON TELEPHONE CALL FOR AN EXTNEDED PERIOD. SINGLE ROOM WAS EXTREMELY SMALL.

The room I stayed in at Mario's was lovely, very comfortable, and guiet. It was large with a good size bath and closed in shower with lots of hot water. I enjoyed the home like quality of Mario's. The location and excellent directions received from the staff made it very easy for me to navigate the city of Florence. Mario's is located within an easy walk of the train station. Thank you to the staff of Mario's, I look forward to returning one day.

A really nice and friendly place. Rooms are a bit small but arranged very tastefully. Nice breakfast room and very friendly and helpful staff.

This hotel was a real find. You felt as if you were at home and treated like a member of the family. I would stay here again.

I have stayed at Hotel Marios twice now and have it found it to be excellent on both occasions. It has such character and the staff are extremely helpful and accommodating. The standards are high and the hotel and it's rooms immaculately presented. I will be returning to Hotel Marios in the not so distant future!

Terrific bargain. Close to train and bus station. Excellent staff. Walkable to anything you'd want to do in Florence. We always stay there.

Mario's staff was the friendliest and most helpful that we encountered in Italy. The rooms were newly remodeled and very clean. The only place we got clean towels every day besides one other hotel in Rome. The location was very convenient to the train station, and within walking distance of all the major sites. Breakfast was good. Highly recommended!

Clean, comfortable, quite friendly, and exceptionally convenient--it's two blocks from the train station, and walking distance from all attractions.

This hotel was wonderfully cozy and beautiful and the hospitality was first rate. It felt just like being welcomed into someone's home!

Mario's was awesome! Very clean, stylish, and comfortable. Mario is friendly, speaks English well, and was a delight to converse with.

A perfectly lovely stay -- I look forward to my next trip already!

Mario's is a wonderful place to stay. It is very welcoming and comfortable. The staff make you feel very much at home and are very accomodating.
