Hotel Orcagna - Florence

This hotel suited our needs in every respect - comfortable bed; excellent bathroom facilities - bath AND shower AND hairdryer - all in excellent working condition; everything very clean and serviced every day; the room was spacious and quiet; very helpful staff, good internet facilites. It is situated about 20 mins walk from the centre in a quiet area near the river Arno - the walk to the historical centre is interesting and the there is a good regular bus service for those times when you need it. There are good restaurants and supermarkets nearby. I would certainly use this hotel again if we returned to Florence.

Hotel at 15-20mn by foot of the centre of Florence. Suitable for people looking for a simple, quiet hotel. Simple breakfast, but included in the price. Nice staff. Lots of shops in the surroundings. The hotel has parking lot for 15 euros/day to park safely his car. Nevertheless, the car is not easy to park. It's recommendded to leave the car in the garage during the stay.

30 min walk from train station, but through interesting streets with good non-touristy shops. Good local pizzerias & tratorias nearby. Hotel employees (with one exception) speak almost no English. They were very helpful in retrieving coat we left in nearby restaurant.

A lovely spacious room with a balcony. Very clean and the staff are really welcoming and helpful. Good location, only 10min walk from city centre and the museums. Would definately recommend orcagna as excellent value for money.

Loved the stay at Orcagna,the staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. The room was large and the bathroom very clean with plenty of white good quality towels. Breakfast was excellent and satisfying, we loved our expressos and fresh Brioches every day. We would definitely recommend the Hotel and would stay again. Thank you Orcagna staff for making this first trip to Florence a memorable one.

Lovely fluffy towels, very nice staff. Quiet neighbourhood. Rooms are a a bit small.

Albergo consigliatissimo, ottimo rapporto qualità - prezzo, pulizia, cortesia, camera davvero adorabile. Sicuramente da tornarci

We arrived late in the evening but were warmly welcomed. Rooms were excellent, clean and spacious. Breakfast was very good. Staff were very helpful and friendly. A bit far away from town centre unless you like walking but would stay here again. A little tratorria around the corner (head away from the river and turn first left) served great food with a family atmosphere.

This hotel had great reviews on your site.We were disappointed with it.The room was really due to be renovated.As we opened the door there was an awful smell coming from the bathroom like the smell of sewer backing up.There was old carpet on the floor and if you left your widow open at night,there were lots of mosquitos in the room...Breakfast was your usual fare except that the coffee was truly not drinkable.I am not a fussy person but I would not recommend this hotel.I booked 5 hotels through Venere and this is the only one that disappointed us.

The bath room is very clean but it smells due to old structure. With the price you pay, you cannot expect too much.So far the hotel is clean and okay. People are very nice and helpful.

Spacious room. Able to walk comfortably.

After taking the number 14 bus (which come quite often) from in front of the train station (There are two "Arnolfo" stops, the second is a little closer to Orcagna street where the hotel is located), we were greeted by very friendly staff. Be aware that bus tickets purchased from tabacco shops or at the terminal are 20% cheaper than in the hotel or aboard the bus. Don't be caught without one, it's a 500 Euro fine! Our only problem was the free Wi-Fi which did not reach to the third floor (the hotel has 4 floors). If Wi-Fi is essential ask for a room on the first or second floor or be prepared to go to the lobby to use their computer or connect to wireles). The room was spotlessly clean, not large but quite adequate and the value for money was excellent. Breakfast was served by pleasant staff and was more than adequate. I would definitely stay here again, we even extended our stay there by a day as we were very pleased with the hotel and staff.

Overall the hotel is clean, confortable, quiet,with easy access to the points of tourist attractions. However, don´t except much of the breakfast, it is very basic. The best asset of the hotel is the staff, they are very nice, they provide all the information required and are always ready to help.

Shower was a little bit to small and uncomfortable, otherwise a brilliant hotel

We ranked Hotel Orcagna highest of the five places in which we stayed during three weeks in Italy. It was the most efficiently managed of the five. Breakfast were excellent. Postage stamps and bus tickets were available at the front desk. An employee was available at the front desk 24/7. Frequent nearby bus sevice, daily room cleaning and cheerful morning greetings all added up to a "home away from home" feeling

Hotel Orcagna had by far the largest room we stayed in, out of 5 hotels throughout Europe. The bathroom was also very large and the view from our balcony (we were on the 4th floor) was breathtaking. The breakfast was typically European, but the service was very nice. Overall, a good stay.

Bon hotel, à une petite marche du centre ville historique (20mn), petit déjeuner correct

When we got to the Hotel, they did not have a room for us and took us next door to the Hotel Jane. My ratings are based on that hotel, not the Hotel Orcagna.

Lovely hotel, large room with balcony, a twenty minute walk from town centre, but with bus stop nearby. Hotel staff very helpful & speak excellent English.

Great location!

Lovely hotel in quiet area of Florence but only a 20 minute walk to the Duomo. Frequent bus service (14) to the station and pleanty restaurants in the area. Highly recommended.

This was clean and comfortable and close to bus into station as well as plenty of places to eat, one complaint was the shower, very small and not good hot water pressure,otherwise we were happy....

Is a very nice hotel, the personal is lovely the rooms are small but quiet. easy to find and the transportation was OK

The Hotel is great. Anyway, as all the accomadations are expensive in Italia, we can say that the relationship between price/quality is excellent for this Hotel. It takes us 20 min by feet to reach the center of Firenze. I hardly recomand this Hotel. The street presents plenty of parking area for our car.

Had a wonderful few nights here! the staff were so helpful they were always on hand, very informative, good with directions, even helped us book into another hotel when it was time to check out!!! there was a nice restful garden and full internet access in asecure spot of hotel, would definately visit again, many thanks

Very friendly and helpful hotel. Sited not up-close but a nice walk from the Duomo, which is along a main pedestrian route anyway. We had one of the top suites and to sit outside at the tables on the rooftop in the evening with a bottle of wine and a pizza watching the sun go down right over the dome of the Duomo is really Florence! Some nice cafes near by,especially the Stazione about 200m away with "everything on the menu" as takeaway - and used by all the locals accordingly. A reasonable breakfast by "continental" standards.

All facilities first class; only reservation was the smallness of the room (no 12). Although a little away from city centre this was in some ways an advantage as the area was quiet and had good bus service.

The extra distance from central Florence sites was easily made up for by the assets of the hotel and the price.

Our only comments are that one of the bedrooms (at the front) was disturbed every morning by the noise of the rubbish collection. We found the breakfast to be very ordinary and what was worse staying for 7 days it didn't change once.

Front desk clerks very friendly and helpful. Nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of the center of Florence. Just a twenty minute walk to the center of town. Good restaurants nearby. We couldn't have been happier with our stay at Hotel Orcagna.

We had a double room that was not huge, but adequite. We overlooked a quiet garden area. The bathroom was a bit small, but no;t too bad. The people were great, very helpful. Not too many restaurants near the hotel, but we found a few decent ones. Easy access to buses.

Hotel was about 20 minute walk from San Giovanni and Duomo which suited us as we enjoy walking. The area around the hotel had some nice little trattorias frequented by locals..always a good sign! Make sure you pre-book Galleria d'Uffizi as the queue was very long. There are many, many other galleries and sites to visit. Santa Croce was a haven of quiet and peace! We had a lovely time despite rainy weather!

We stayed for 12 days at the Hotel Orcagna and were really overwhelmed by the friendly and professional service. The price was really good and we couldn't see any difference to a three star hotel. The staff was very nice and personal and we would stay there any time again. The hotel is a 20 minutes walk from the Dome and it is located in a business and living quarter. There are good opportuneties for shopping (food and clothes) as well as inexpensive restaurants nearby. The breakfast is typically Italian with very good coffee, brioches, some juices and cornflakes. It is good to arrive early for breakfast. The rooms were very clean and well-equipped. At the hotel there were guests from Italy, Europe, and the US.

Hotel Orcagna was a very nice hotel, with very friendly staff. The room was clean and reasonably spacious. The room also had a balcony, which I enjoyed standing out on and watching the people go by. Hotel Orcagna is well situated in the city - at a leisurely walking pace, you can reach the Duomo, the Uffizi or the Accademia in about 15 - 20 minutes. The continental breakfast offered in the morning was good, with a very nice lady greeting you as you came in to the room. I quite enjoyed the expresso coffee they brewed for me. There are a number of restaurants near by the hotel - each within 5 minutes walk. My wife and I went to the following restaurants: Cocotrippone Osteria on Via Gioberti - Good food, wine and service, with English menu available. La Taverna Trattoria Pizzeria on Via Cimabue at Via Arnollo - Good food, good wine, but service was a bit rushed and busy with no English menu available. La Luna Pizzeria on Via Gioberti - Food and wine were standard fare, while service was rushed due to being very busy - no English menu. Be advised that dinner does not start at any restaurant until 7:30pm.

The Orcagna should certainly have 3 stars, not 2. The room was larger than the Best Western we stayed in, in Rome. The room had paintings and statuary frescos and was altogether most comfortable, with a safe and plenty of storage space. There was a bed-length wall shelf as well as 2 bedside tables and a desk, The bathroom was adequate (none are large in Italy, it seems) and had thick towels and plenty of hot water. We preferred the shower curtain (vs glass shower) as it allows maneuverability without bumping into hardness. There was a hairdryer as stated. Our room faced the street with a view of distant mountains, via a small balcony and the rear rooms faced the courtyard. It is a very quiet neighborhood, with no street sounds at night. There was a full length glass door and roll down shutters. We originally planned to stay for 2 nights and relocate to Siena but we opted to extend to 4 nights and day-trip to Siena. My brother and his family had stayed here in '03 while we had been across the street at the Hotel Jane so we knew the property. There is a courtyard with seating, as well as a sitting area with larger TV, and a seperately located game room opposite the courtyard. Simone and her daughter manage the hotel and Simone greeted us each morning at breakfast with our choice of beverage. There was also cereal, granola, juices, rolls and pastry with jelly, jams and Nutella. The room rate was most reasonable, and I would not hesitate to refer anyone to the Orcagna. The # 14 bus is nearby to take you the short distance into the heart of Florence and the taxi rates were reasonable as well. We ate at 3 of the 4 nearby places recommended by Simone and were never disappointed. There was also a drop-off laundry nearby which we used.

Very nice stay. Nice and fairly big rooms, good services and very nice staff. To recommend!

Just what my wife and I wanted-quiet and about 20 minute walk from Duomo. The staff was courteous and helpful and the breakfast was very good. Also there are a number of trattoria/restaurants nearby. Food was uniformly good. No complaints about bathroom-clean and plenty of light. All in all eminently suitable and we wiill stay at Orcagna on our next trip to Florence.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is situated in a good area. There are good non touristy restaurants locally.

We drove into chaotic Florence and found our hotel with a little difficulty but upon arrival - what a welcome!! We were having trouble with our hire car and Simone from the hotel rushed to our aid and saved the day. Throughout our 3 night stay, Simone was extremely helpful and suggested local places to eat and visit. She even humoured us when we tried our poor italian vocab on her. Her english was impeccable too. Our room faced the street and was quiet, clean and spacious. The hotel has a cute little garden in the rear which was great to sit in before or after a big day of walking. The breakfast was agreeable too. The hotel is within walking distance from all the major sites and fantastic tavernas and cafes. We loved Florence and think this hotel was part of our happy stay.

Personnel très accueillant. Chambre propre et spacieuse. Très bonne situation pour profiter de florence (calme et en centre, l'idéal) . Les 4 places réservées pour les voitures sont très pratiques et gratuites. Nous recommandons cet hôtel.

Eccellente sistemazione ,ottimo qualita'prezzo,personale gentilissimo.consigliato a chi vuole visitare firenze, con poco a piedi si arriva in centro e la sera si dorme in tutta tranquillita'.

The staff was really friendly and charming. I think, the most friendly and familiar staff I ever met in a hotel. The room was nice and clean and I loved the wallpaper of corridors. If you don't mind to walk 15 or 20 minutes to the centre of city I recomend you this hotel.

Si tratta di un 2 stelle che potrebbe essere definito un 3 stelle. La camera era molto accogliente ed i servizi molto buoni. No è lontanissimo dal centro ed il rapporto qualità/prezzo è elevato. Complessivamente giudizio buono; da consigliare ad un amico.

Calme et grand confort à 10' du centre de florence.

The hotel staff were all very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The breakfast was generous;loved the cappuccino. The lady who served in the breakfast room was so sweet. I will return.

Hotel Orcagna has all the basic amenities for a two star hotel. Very friendly staff and a nice surprise - big white fluffy towels! As with many of the local smaller hotels, the room is locked with a key and held at the reception desk when you leave the premise. The neighborhood had a few wonderful restaurants within walking distance and we enjoyed a casual dining experience at Forno a Legna where generous cuts of steak and veal were the highlight of the menu. The breakfast offerings were cereal, juices, yogurt, rolls, and fresh fruit and included in the price. There is free internet access...a small closet type room houses the communal computer and printer. It was always available at any time of day/night. We enjoyed our stay at Orcagna.

The hotel was a little further from the city center than I had understood it would be but the family that runs the hotel is awesome and the hotel is a very good one--located in a residential area with an approximate 30 minute walk to the city center. Rooms were clean and modern. The area is very safe.

Having stayed at the Orcagna several times already, we always like coming back. Clean rooms, good service, garage, walking distance to the center of Firenze (15 minutes), located within a typical neighbourhood with shops and restaurants.

Probably one of the best hotels in Florence in terme of quality to price ratio I have got thanks to Venere.com discount. The staff is very friendly and the hotel not so far the historic city centre is very quite. If you take the bus, you save miles walking and keep your energy to visit more museum and historic monuments. I recommend Florence and Orcagna hotel to all tourists who love Renaissance cities with their incredible art which was made during thoses centuries of light.

Other reviews I read before booking and staying were right on. The biggest complaint I had was that it's not easy to find from the bus. The stop is not listed on the maps so you have to be very attentive to the bus signs looking for the street name in fine print (and go towards B and C from the train station...which is east... not towards A or west like we did at first, not knowing and having a fun time getting lost). If you want a hotel off the beaten path that is quiet and homey, a bit romantic and with the friendliest staff we met, this is it. Large rooms (for Europe standards) with a quiet balcony overlooking a garden. Decent restaurants without a million tourists (be prepared for no English). Bikes were not free as advertised, but having them as an option was great (I recommend taking a day to bike around Florence, that was a great time...but also a bit dangerous so make sure you are a coordinated biker with quick reflexes). I recommend this hotel and would return.

Très bon établissement.très bon accueil en français. l'hotesse est charmante et compétente Nous sommes resté 4 nuits en octobre. En 20-25 mn à pied on est au Dome. des restaurants abordable sont nombreus à proximité. seul Hic : les fenetres ne disposant pas de double vitrage et n'isolent pas des bruits de la rue. Heureusement après 22 H00 c'est calme jusqu'à 7 H 00/7 H 30 Enfin, pour acceder à l'hotel d'après les indication fournie, il y a une erreur, à la fin, il faut aller à gauche et non à droite.

The restaurant La Luna near Orcagne was a nice one with good food and nice servers.

Excellent accueil. Ne pas oublier de profiter des vélos mis à disposition qui facilitent la vie. Bon breakfast et parking gratuit mais dans la rue juste en face . Bonne adresse avec très bon rapport qualité-px

We had two rooms at this fine hotel in mid-August. The physical layout was excellent, but it was not as good as the treatment we received from the two ladies in charge. The breakfast was good as well. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

It is very nice hotel, reasonable price compare with hotel conditions It was some problem to communicate with reception (woman didn't speak english) It should be carefull when you are looking for this hotel first time - no big sign bord, you can see only the name of hotel on abat-jours of windows

During our staying the hotel decided to clean roots of a tree in the yard...the noise beginning morning till late afternoon was... like in hell.

Ottimo come sempre. Dalla stazione prendere il numero 14.

This is an excellent hotel with a very friendly & helpful staff located in a safe a pleasant part of venice with access to several frequent buses

This hotel was great value...clean, adequate breakfast, very welcoming & helpful staff...my only complaint is that the walls between rooms must be thin, as we were kept awake on the first night by a noisy group of friends after they'd come back from a night out, but I guess that could happen anywhere. Walk to the centre of Florence is very pleasant and takes around 15-20 mins. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.

Our stay at the Hotel Orcagna was most pleasant. Upon arrival, one of the women at the reception desk went out of her way to locate a parking space for us in front of the hotel. The rooms were clean and pleasantly spacious, the public areas bright and cheery, and the staff most accommodating. We enjoyed an adequate complimentary breakfast each morning that filled our needs. Speaking of the staff, we had an early morning wake-up call the day of departure, and the owner (at least I believe her to be the owner) graciously and unexpectedly opened up the dining area at 4:30 a.m. so that we could have breakfast before leaving for the airport. We were treated as though we were family! The accommodations exceeded our expectations for such a reasonable room rate. Overall, our travel companions and we all agreed that we definitely would return to the Hotel Orcagna when next in Florence.

We were warmly greeted. The parking garage is down the street and around the corner. The lady walked there and helped us park the car inside. We asked for the room on the 5th floor with an outdoor terrace, and got it. The hotel is a 25 minute walk from the Duomo, a bit further than we thought. The closest restaurant is several blocks away. The air conditioning in our room barely worked. Still, we loved the table and chairs out on the terrace, and the room was clean. The staff could not have been nicer.

Nicely located for walking into Florence. The young lady receptionist was very friendly and helpful with directions for both sight seeing and driving. Breakfast was basic but pleasant. The bonus was a parking space at no extra cost. Recommended, especially in a place like Florence where you will be ripped-off for everything else.

Se trata de un hotel familiar, pequeño. No está ubicado en la zona turística de la ciudad, pero se puede llegar caminando a esta zona en unos 15 minutos. El elevador es pequeño, pero esto no es raro en los hoteles europeos. Los pasillos y el exterior de las habitaciones lucen un poco maltratados, pero el interior de las habitaciones está limpio y las que nos asignaron eran espaciosas y agradables. El comedor donde se sirve el desayuno es bonito y luminoso. Pero lo mejor de este hotel es la calidez del servicio. Isa y Simona son muy amables y serviciales; fueron las personas más amables de todos los hoteles donde estuvimos durante nuestro viaje.

The Orcagna hotel is a great place to stay for people traveling on a budget. The hotel itself is a little bit of a hike from the center of the city,(20 minutes by foot) but the price makes it worth it. The owners do not speak any english, but I enjoyed this as I could practise my Italian! The rooms are very spacious, however the shower is just the opposite. It barely fits one person! Also, we stayed there in the middle of July and the a.c. did not work very well! Other then that, we thought that the hotel was very quaint as the rooms are decorated in a cute Italian scheme and the hallways have that "homey" feel. All in all, we enjoyed the Orcagna.

This was one of the best hotels on our Italy trip. The office staff did not speak English, but their Italian was understandable. The hotel was great--just close enough to the sights and just far enough to be quiet. A definite thumbs up!

The chaos of entering a large and unknown city was significantly diminished by the wonderful and helpful welcome we had at this hotel. The woman at the desk (during the day) was very accomodating and even stood in a parkng spot on the street to save it for us while we turned around! The location was great for us (about 15 minute walk from the center of town). Internet access in the lobby was very helpful for booking museum visits. also, a great restaurant, just down the street from the hotel,called FuoriPiazza. Outdoor (within in the restaurants interior) dining made for a wonder and almost tourist-free dinner. Food was fantastic as well.

This hotel I would highly recommend .We stayed in a quadruple room which was spacious nicely decorated and very clean beds very comfortable.ensuite very clean plenty towels.This hotel is very good value staff very helpful diningroom small but very clean with great breakfast.10 minute walk by the arno to the uffizi and good bus service the no.14.delighful little garden at rear where u can relax in morning.

A little room not very clean... A bathroom very little and without security (plug near the shower)... Not a good hotel !

Overall we enjoyed out stay at the Orcagna. We even stayed two days longer than we originally planned. It was a little bit out of the way in relation to all the museums in Florence. But the hotel was clean, the breakfast was good and the people were friendly and helpful.

We got bitten by mosquitos everynight. We could hear them buzzing over our heads. When we went to the front desk to ask to have the controller for the air conditioner we were told that no air conditioning until june. It was may when we were there. What a terrible place to stay with the mosquitos flying all around.

Estamos muy contentos de poder dar excelentes referencias sobre este pequeño hotel familiar. Aunque es un hotel clasificado con dos estrellas, bien podría ser considerado como de tres (o de cuatro, si es que éste estuviera ubicado en Roma y no en Florencia). Por otro lado, tal vez valga la pena indicar que no se encuentra precisamente en el centro histórico de la ciudad, por lo que hay que caminar un poquito para llegar (unos 25 minutos desde la terminal de trenes de Sta. María Novela). También se pueden tomar los autobuses de la línea 14 (cualquiera, A, B o C) que se toman a una calle en contra esquina de la estación y que los deja a 2 calles del hotel. Lo mismo de regreso. Por otra parte, la situación del hotel no podría ser mejor: una zona muy tranquila, segura y bonita; además, en los alrededores hay muchos lugares para salir a comer o cenar, y justo en la esquina hay también un excelente café que fabrica sus propias pastas (que por cierto son deliciosas y el precio es realmente muy económico) y está abierto todos los días desde muy temprano hasta la noche; incluso los días festivos. También quiero mencionar el trato amable de todo el personal del hotel, que siempre estaba ahí para servirnos y ayudarnos en lo que hiciera falta. Nuestra estancia en Florencia fue muy agradable y seguramente que, si alguna vez tenemos ocasión de regresar, nos hospedaremos en el hotel Orcagna.

We chose this hotel because the reviews said that the hotel staff were friendly and helpful and indeed they were. They spoke enough English to understand us. It was not located in the centre of Florence so we came across the shops and restaurants used by the locals. The email address supplied on the venere.com site was not used by the hotel - returned after a week timed out. Their new / correct email address is info@hotelorcagna.com, and their own web site is www.hotelorcagna.com

Very good valu. We had to walk 15 minutes to the center. The price for the service provided was very good. Good breakfast. A little noisy.

We had a great stay at the hotel orcagna. We were welcomed enthusiastically, and the woman who registered us gave us great recommendations for restaurants nearby. What we loved most was the neighborhood feel of the hotel location. Within walking distance of all major tourist spots in Florence, it was just enough out of the way to offer something different. We were able to eat at local establishments near the hotel - by far the best food we found in Italy because they didn't have that touristy aspect. And, the service of the employees at the hotel was exceptional! We would stay at the Hotel Orcagna again in a heartbeat!

Superb welcome by a friendly staff. Great location for the in-town experience. Thanks

We had a great welcome, the girl at the reception was very kind and spoke English quite well. She gave us a street map of florence at pointed the bus stations. The way to the inner city is about 15 minutes if you walk. The rooms were very quiet and clean. If I travel to Florence again, I guess I´ll choose Orcagna again. It was a great stay.

For the first time on an Italian hotel I got more real strong black coffee than a small espresso! Excellent with an internet-pc free of charge. To all who are going to Florence: don´t open both windows and iron-courtains! There are mosquitos you know!

I was very pleased with my stay at the Orcagna. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a room in Firenze. We stayed two nights, went on a five day tour and returned to the Orcagna for our last night in Firenze and were welcomed like old friends.

The staff was very friendly and efficient. Upon arrival, the receptionist found a garage for us to park our car for the night. Our room was quite large and clean with four beds, and the bathroom was new and also clean. The carpet in the room was worn and a bit stained, but I was impressed that it was quite clean under the beds (our son used it as a hiding place). We enjoyed watching the evening thundershowers from the balcony of the room. The breakfast could have been a bit more interesting, but they offered us plenty of hot coffee and hot chocolate, and it was certainly more than adequate for breakfast. The hotel is located in a fairly calm neighborhood, so sleeping was not a problem.

Super Hotel, the personal is super. Everything first class

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Orcagna. We stayed two nights, went on a tour for several days and returned to the Orcagna for our last night in Florence. We were greeted like old friends. I would recommend this hotel to everyone and I would stay there again if I returned to Florence.

Great hotel! For price and service, you'll be hard pressed to find better. It is far enough away from the tourist center to be cheaper and more peaceful, but is any easy 10 minute walk from anything you may wish to see. The staff are great. The evening people don't speak much english, but Simona, the day manager is dynamite and get help with anything; she'll even move your car for you so you don't get a ticket. Parking is a bit rough, but not unmanageable. They have a tiny garage for 10 euro a day if needed. One of the best restaurants we ate at in Italy is a few blocks away-- Aquacotta. A small family run spot. Order the Aquacotta; truly amazing little dish- simplicity an flavor at heir peak. Il Barino, around the corner is also good, but a bit pricey. It's almost worth it for the wacky hostess alone. Bottom line: save your money, skip the Ritz-Carlton, stay here, and eat well at Aquacotta. You won't do any better than this.

Nice place - a bit of a walk from all the action, but that's what we wanted (quiet, and an excuse to walk and see the city even more than if we stayed in the center - and it is near a supermarket!). The staff is friendly, helpful, and they speak English. Two complaints - rather warm hot water, and the breakfast. I understand that breakfast is not an important meal in Italy, so maybe I shouldn't blame this hotel, but enough with the empty calories!

We enjoyed our stay at the Organca Hotel. It was a nice place, central, quite silent, we could walk to the towncenter. Erverything was what we needed. Only I could whish some fresh fruit for beakfest, but that is my whish. Thanks for the stay!

Not a bad room,friendly staff not much English spoken,but tried to be helpful.The windows are very thin...so trafic noise is quite loud! I didn't like the fact that they insisted on keeping our pasports,they kept them in plain veiw, behind the desk for anyone to grab!!

We were very satisfied with this hotel. Very clean room, staffs were so friendly, explaind everything when needed and it was very quiet. It was a bit far away from the station and from the central. (20 minutes walk?) But actually we enjoyed staying away from the central, since there are lots of nice stores, very convenient suparmarkets, very quiet in the evening etc. The breakfast could be a bit better but we can't really complain about the hotel for the price. If we would be going to stay in Fireze then we would like to go back to the Hotel.

Un bel hôtel situé non loin du centre (15 min à pied) et d'un beau marché. Chambre kitsch mais confortable. Buffet de petit déjeuner correct. Très bon accueil. A recommander sans hésitation.

Very good location. Perfect rooms - very clean, modern and spacious. The air-conditioning was appreciated in the middle of the summer. The best value for money among all the european hotels we stayed in. If we ever go back to Florence we'll stay there again for sure.

Nous sommes tres contents de l'accueil reservé, du rapport qualité/prix. Cet hotel, tres proche du centre de Florence,(visite à pied) a un tres bon rapport qualité prix. Seul "défault" : petit déjeuner tres léger !

A very quiet and nice hotel, with a warm welcoming! A dream ...

I love this hotel and the people who run it!! The mother and daughter are fabulous, helpful people who go out of their way to make you feel like a part of the family. I would recommend this hotel whole-heartedly!

This hotel is too far from the city center, which is not clear from the map. Breakfast could be little better. Hotel personels are helpfull. They accept credit card.

We only stayed for one night, but it was just what we wanted - a quad room close to city centre. We were lucky with the on-street parking.

Hay una señora que es muy amable, teniamos que salir muy temprano y ella nos ofrecio que nos llevaramos algo para desayunar, ya que el horario de desayuno todavia no empezaba. Fue facil caminar hacia las atracciones más famosas. En otras ocasiones usamos el autobus. Para el precio fue buen hotel.

From the moment we registered, and regardless of the time of day or night, the staff at Orcagna went out of their way to help us out to get to tourist sites, good restaurants and shopping. The hotel location is ideal in that it is within walking distance to some historic sites and is one block away from the municipal bus which is inexpensive and easy to use. Our room was clean and comfortable; it overlooked a quiet garden and other housing making it feel as if we were in the suburbs even though we were minutes away from the historic center of the city. Free access to the internet was a real bonus helping us to plan future travel without stress. The breakfast service was very convenient enabling us to fuel up before starting our non-stop touring. We highly recommend this hotel.

Poor english language skills, made up by friendliness.

It´s a good place to stay with a very good competence of employees. They must to improve the bathroom (little water). I think it´s a little expensive in relationship between price/quality.

We had a wonderful stay here. The staff were very friendly, it was in a good location in not too touristy an area with some great local restaurants that the staff recommended. Only a short walk into the centre of town.

It was a nice and pleasent stay, thanks again for the possibility of near-by-living in florence!!!

Seconda volta qui, ci tornerò e lo consiglierò ancora
