Hotel Victoria - Florence

One of the best hotel in Genova. Very clean and price also competitive. Location are good.Bus and other public transport system was very convenient.ADVICE TO EVERY BODY "DONT MISS THE CHANCE". DR MAZHER . MILAN

Great location very close to the station which is what we wanted.Market only steps away!On checking in the staff directed us to our room first then did our check in,which was great as we were a little tied from our trip.Our only problem was the constant loud music at night from the bar close to the hotel and the rooms were not very sound proof we could hear everything in the rooms around us!It would have been the perfect place to stay in Florence except fot that.

The Hotel Victor is a 10 minute walk from the train station thru crowded narrow streets.Our room had a/c which was enjoyed (outside temp reach 35*c. The refrigerator did not work, got extremely hot when plugged in.The continental breakfast was good and convenient.The reception and staff were very good and friendly. A self laundry, reasonably priced and quick, is located about 50 meters form the hotel. We walked to all of the tourist sites.

The room that was given to us was very small and moreover had no air-conditioning. In scorching heat of 40 degrees, it was impossible to stay in the room. On complaining to the reception, they just simply said that the air-condition is working and not to worry. But that was un-managable for the first night. Hence we requested to give us a different room where air-conditioning was working.

Nice area. Considerate staff. Had a few problems with the plumbing which put a sour note on our stay. I suspect it is abnormal for the hotel. Rooms a bit small. Were awakened in the night by someone talking in an adjacent room.

Kinda old, but it was safe, clean and quiet. Easy access to train station and sites in Florence.

The room was spacious & clean. The door was not in good condition & some common toilet was just outside our room so it was rather noisy at night and I hade difficuilty to sleep. Breakfast was nice and the lady who was responsible for breakfast was very nice and helpful.

Good little hotel for travellers looking to stay for just a few days/nights in Florence. I arrived at the hotel and the receptionist was friendly and welcoming and found my reservation right away. Finding the room wasn't hard at all as the place is relatively small. One thing I will say about the rooms (and public areas in particular) is that they could REALLY use a little refurbishment. Most of the furniture was old and appears to have been there for a LONG time (ten to fifteen years - maybe more). The room TV for example, was a small fourteen inch CRT based set (not flat panel TFT based) and the remote given to me at the reception had seen better days. Also, the some of the paint work in the bathroom (along the ceilings) was starting to come off and there were notable cracks in one or two areas of the bedroom ceiling. Finally, the management of the hotel could consider replacing the light bulbs in the rooms with energy efficient ones (this could cut their electricity bills!) On the upside though, the hotel is well placed in the town centre with the market just around the corner and train station not very far away. Also, the noise level from the street was low and this allowed me to sleep well. The bed was also comfortable and the sheets were clean. All in all not a bad stay. My only other gripe was the price paid per night. At seventy euros, I might consider staying somewhere else if I return to the city. I also didn't like the fact that the hotel tried to charge me for breakfast on one day (I always went out for food) and for a number of phone calls that were apparently made from my room (I used my mobile).

This is a very nice hotel with many rooms and good service. It is also well located near the main station The airconditioning is a bit noisy but not irritating. The quality/price ratio is very convenient. I sincerely recommend it, the breakfast is very good and plenty.

Ottima la posizione, a due passi dal mercato di san lorenzo e mercato centrale....strada un po' rumorosa di notte...impossibile tenere la finestra aperta!!!ma c'è l'aria condizionata....personale disponibile a lasciare i bagagli in deposito...

La localización del hotel es muy buena. Está a pocos minutos andando de la estación de tren S.M. Novella y del Duomo. La habitación era amplia y el baño nuevo y limpio. El personal del hotel agradable. Sin duda volveríamos a este hotel.

Excellent location. Water from the shower was kind of cold.

Hotel Victoria is in a great location. In walking distance to the city center and only a few blocks from the train station. Nice, basic hotel at a decent price. Just don't use the hairdryer while the AC is on, you will blow a fuse:)

Es un hotel cercano a la estacion de Tren pero es un hotel viejo, la decoracion es bastante vieja, el cuarto estaba grande, limpio y el baño remodelado. Este hotel incluia el desayuno pero nunca lo tomamos por tiempo, sin embargo era el mismo sistema de la mayoria self service con muy pocas opciones

This hotel is dirty, from top to bottom, even by European standards. Staff was friendly and helpful, location is central but quite noisy. Breakfast was fine for a value-oriented property.

Market nextdoor and 10 minutes walking from the Duomo. 5 minutes walking from the train station!

L'hôtel Victoria est un hôtel pas vraiment de luxe, mais pour le prix 105 euro pas nuit à Florence c'était très bien le personnel est courtois les chambres sont spacieuses et propre. le déjeuner excéllent avec variétée d'aliments. À part l'agitation près de l'hotel excelent choix qualité prix.

We stayed with friends. Victoria Hotel's location is extremely convenient.

We were travelling in group (couple and brother), for the first time in Italy. The hotel is very well located. Unfortunately it doesn't have a parking, and the one nearby is really expensive. It's an excellent hotel, very confortable.

Dirty, Poor Service, Very Poor Breakfast, Miserable Appearance, Very High Prices..We felt loosers and we have remorses for our choice. It was the worse accomodation we had in a 20 days tour in 5 european countries.

Chambre propre à première vue mais bac de douche completement bouché ce qui laisse à penser la manière dont le ménage à été fait. Débouché aussitot la reclamation faite. Hotel bien situé, proche du centre et de la gare.

I have never been to a hotel in Italy where you had to push a button on a machine in order to get a cup of coffee. There was an expresso machine there but we were told that we could not have that coffee because "it was to strong". Finally on our last day there we spoke with the man at the desk and were able to get a decent cup of coffee. My bathroom was ok but my travel companions had the bathrooms from hell. Small and when you took a shower, water everywhere. The rooms in the front were noisy. I won't be staying here again.

A little bit noisy; the noise was coming from inside the hotel (groups of young people in other rooms). Very close to every places to visit.

Floerence - This hotel received a low rating because we did not get much sleep. The hotel caters to youth groups and they run the halls all night. We stayed two nights and went through two different groups of young teens. Very frustating that the hotel did not do more to quiet them for the benefit of the other guests. Location is good for sightseeing and train station. Price is fair. Breakfast is ok. Next time would probably find a different hotel.

Overall a very nice hotel near the city center!! Just two things: - 2nd night was very rumourous (group of 40 children in the other rooms) and the hot water failed in the morning. - Missed some cheese or ham for breakfast, only sweet food available.

You get what you pay for here. Perfectly adequate hotel in Florence close to the station and main sites. The rooms are well used but they are clean and the staff is nice. Breakfast is good. The only problem I had was that they kept turning the AC off when we were out of the room. I know they want to save money and I can appreciate that but it was Florence in July and it was hot. I would stay here again.

Una struttura vicina al centro ed ai principali monumenti da visitare, personale molto cordiale che ha saputo consigliare.

Our stay at victoria hotel was reasonable. we happened to be there at the same time as girls only school excursion. so the girls made it very noisy. the room was great but the bathroom could do with a bit of work. the surroudning area is a bit fishy. if i was alone i would be uncomfortable walking there by myself at night. however its very close to train station and only 10 minute walk to the duomo. one piece of advice be careful when eating in restaurants they charge service and cover charge apprx. 2-3 euros each per person. thats the cost of one meal.

Very clean room. The room was a bit small and the street noise was pretty loud all night. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay. Breakfast was included as well.

Great hotel located walking distance from rail station. All major attractions within walking distance. Quiet and spacious! No complaints.

Hotel location was GREAT. Room was spacious and clean. However, room was on a noisy street and they had a school group, so there was lots of voices, as the doors are pretty thin and the voices carry. Also bathroom has no curtain and water pressure is weak. Overall, though, a good stay.

It is close to the major attractions of Florence, but unless you enjoy waking up with 'mite' bites on your body (as my son and I did), don't stay here. It was pretty dingey and not very nice. Airconditioning was good, but that was all.

Very Good staff. efficient and helpful. the room was very quiet even though we we're right downtown. We had a nice stay.

Le camere sono pulite ed ordinate proprio come da foto. Per il resto non mi sento di elogiare oltre questo hotel che, complice la bassa professionalità dello staff, non mi ha entusiasmato per niente. Al di là di tutto, scrivo questo commento solo per mettere in guardia gli eventuali prossimi clienti che leggeranno qui. Se avete una macchina a cui tenete tanto, datemi retta, migrate verso altri lidi. Potrete decidere di parcheggiare o al parcheggio della stazione (3 euro l'ora, se lasciate la macchina lì per la notte tornate col blocchetto degli assegni...) oppure prendere un pargheggio a pagamento in città a prezzi piu' bassi, ma con il vincolo della chiusura. Chiudono tutti alle dodici. Se volete tornare alle due di notte, non potrete farlo e dovrete comunque, giustamente per carità, pagare la tariffa giornaliera. L'hotel dispone di un "Garage interno" si. Non viene spiegato però che, complice l'immenso traffico che si sviluppa giornalmente nei dintorni, se mettete la macchina dentro non è detto che possiate tirarla fuori quando volete!! La serranda d'ingresso al garage infatti è situata in una stretta via dove solitamente la gente usa parcheggiare con due ruote sul marciapiede antistante. Questo inibisce la possibilità di fare manovra e uscire con la macchina dal parcheggio che state comunque pagando! Avete due possibilità allora: Fate i turisti, prendete l'ombrello a andate a visitare i MAGNIFICI uffizi. Oppure chiamate il carro attrezzi, che dato il traffico che ci sarà, verrà dopo un ora , un ora e mezza. Fate i vostri conti. Sembra un dettaglio, diventerà un incubo.

Well located, very good attention. Breakfast ok, including only bread, butter and jelly. The first day the offered also ham and cheese. Room was clean and spacious. No view at all.

We had a great time in Florence, among others due to the nice stay at Victoria Hotel. We were advised where to go and what to see by professional and friendly staff. The breakfast was served by nice staff, and we enjoyed our stay very much. I will not hesitate to recommend hotel Victoria to friends going to Florence, and I will definitely chose the Victoria next time I visit Florence!

The location was great. The price was great also. We liked there very much.

Very basic. Shower was too small to turn around in! However, the location was good and the room was clean so I have no major complaints. I would probably return but may try another in the same price range.

Hôtel très bien situé dans la ville à 5 min du centre historique. Très bon accueil. Chambre très spacieuse et propre. Petit déj très bon. Une très bonne adresse.

Very poor for the money. Air conditioning did not work

Worst hotel I've stayed in my life. I'm not wasting my time explaining why, since you won't post my comments anyway.

Poor welcoming

We changed to another hotel after three nights.The plentiful ventilation fans in the back yard almost drove us crazy. I had asked for a quiet room away from traffic! For 130Eur a night, we had expected some kind of hotel-feeling, at least a public area to read a newspaper and have something to drink. This was a Bead and Breakfast hotel for young backpackers. Classification *** is definately wrong, as the prices were. Our 4 last nights we spent in a beautiful and quiet *** hotel in the neighbourhood. That made our stay in Florence a very good one.

Everything about the hotel made our stay enjoyable, with the only exception being that our room faced a busy street with some street noise. The rooms, staff, breakfast and location were all excellent. Good value.

The staff were especially friendly and helpful.

Tipico albergo da zona stazione in una zona fortemente degradata dalla presenza di mercatini extracomunitari e non. Durante il mio soggiorno sono arrivate scolaresche in gita particolarmente rumorose. Unico pregio è la vicinanza alla stazione ed al centro storico. Prima colazione frettolosa in ambiente angusto. Non ci ritornerò.

Florence is beautiful. the hotel is very well located. We found it clean and spacious. only complant was the breakfast was too early although we like our sleep in's on holidays. I would definatly recommend this hotel. We read others comments on venere and do not regret it.

The hotel was well located. The employees were friendly.The room was rather clean, but not the fitted carpet. During our first collation there remained almost nothing any more to eat.

Good quality vs price, but only by using venere.com.

Overall, Victoria hotel is a pretty good hotel, in a good location. The breakfast is very good: cornflakes, juices, hot beverages (including chocolate), an assortment of pastries, biscuits and desserts. Unfortunately there were no eggs or vegetables. Unlike the street side, the back side is quiet, however one can not open the window due to the smell from a nearby pizzeria chimney. The air-conditioning is not individually controlled since the hotel decides when to switch from cold air to heating regardless of the actual weather. The bathroom is modern and spacious but the bathtubs (unlike the showers) have no curtain to prevent from the water from splashing the surroundings. The splashed water then oozes to the bedroom which is lower.

Very spacios room, may be the biggest of all my stay in Europe. i hardly recommend this hotel.

Reasonable hotel, but parking sucks...

The location of the hotel was tricky to find. Be prepared to pack lightly an take a LOT of stairs. Once we arrived, it was an incredible location. Not quite in town, but a relatively easy walk. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious but fairly minimal in decore. Since the hotel is quite inexpensive, I would recommend requesting a deluxe suit instead of a standard room to guarantee an amazing view...it is well worth it! And bring your earplugs... the roosters strike up early. The beach access is easy and the hotel has a far superior private beach compared to the one in town. The restaurants are good, but the included breakfast is minimal. overall, the place far exceeded our expectations, as we didn't expect much for the price. A great travel find!

Near train station and few minutes walking from the city centre. I think the price is a litle bit high according to the quality of the service offered.

Very good location, walkable to everything. Very helpful staff, with great recommendations Very pleased with our stay and would stay here again. Breakfast was excellent

Fairly well located. Good for the train station and only about 15 minutes walk to the sights. Breakfast non-descript and for some reason we were not allowed to sit where we wanted to in the breakfast room. Probably wouldn't stay here again.

The hotel was easy to find by car, but be prepared to have a very good map and an excellent driver:). The garage indicated on the webpage is just next to the hotel, very conveniently located but also very pricely (20 EUR a day while we were there). Alltogether the hotel is well worth the price we paid for even with the extra charges. A szalloda konnyen megkozelitheto kocsival, csak egy jo terkep kell es persze egy kivalo sofor:) A honlapon emlitett garazs a szallo mellett van kozvetlenul, de kicsit draganak talaltuk (20 EUR egy napra amikor ott voltunk). Mindent egybevetve nagyon araranyosnak talaltuk a szallast a plusz koltsegek ellenere is.

Hotel Victoria is literally 5 minutes walking distance from the train/bus station. It really was in such a convenient area- we walked to all of the sights in Florence from there. The flea market is around the corner. Restaraunts are open late in the square- all of them were great! We were there in the beginning of July it was so nice to be able to walk to everything! We loved it! The rooms are clean, no shower curtain in the bathroom- but all we cared about was having our bathroom w/shower ! A refrigerator, airconditioning and TV (nothing in English) but it server it's purpose. The staff was very friendly and informative. Not one complaint!

This hotel is an excellent location - very close to the train station, but more importantly, very close to the best market we went to in all of Italy! San Lorenzo. The people were quite nice, the area quite safe - lots close by.

The location makes it definitely worth the price. The pictures howevere lie a bit when it comes to the standard of the rooms, and the walls felt extremely thin when people walked and talked in the corridor.

Plumbing doesn't always work, not at all how it is presented on the site, pictures are old and hotel is not in as good repair as the pictures indicate

This hotel is very well located but if you have a room on the street it is really impossible to sleep in summer. The air conditionning was out of order and it was necessary to keep the windows open!!!!

We had a very nice stay at Hotel Victoria. It's only a short walking distance from the train station and all the tourist attractions, specially the Central Mercado and shopping stalls! There are also some very good Tratorias on the same street, or just around the corner from the hotel. The only problem we had during our stay was the air-conditioning. We should have asked for more details how to control the settings on the remote. Then, one night, the A/C fuse must have blown and we woke up to a very warm room. Otherwise, nice facilities and very quiet room.

The reception staff is outstanding, and this was the biggest room we had in Italy. Plus, the location & price were excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel.

One of the best 3 stars I've stayed in anywhere in Europe.

I enjoyed my stay al Victoria, it was so close to everything. Beside the noise in night we had a nice stay there. I will go back to Florence again and stay here.

Florence hotels have a reputation for small and noisy rooms, flights of stairs to navigate with your luggage, and unhelpful staff. None of these were a problem at the Victoria Hotel where our room was spacious and quiet (although it was at the back away from the road), and where a lift allowed easy access to the upper floors. The location is ideal, close to both the railway station and the sights, and the staff are very friendly, albeit with limited English. When we needed to leave earlier than expected (for reasons unrelated to the hotel) the staff were very understanding and only charged us for the nights that we had stayed. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Victoria Hotel as a place to stay whilst visiting this beautiful city.

I was already an abitual guest of Hotel Victoria for my working acivities in Florence, so my quality vs. price evaluation was already good before my last stay. what to add more? Using the Venere.com on-line reservation I saved an additional 20% respect of my company rate! Great!

I stayed here for about a week and it is a great location. Near the train station and the markets in town. Would recommend to anyone to stay here and they even speak english fairly well.

The welcome we received was nothing short of outstanding. Location relatively close to the station but also to other attractions. Breakfast was quite adequate. Room was spacious and quiet, not facing the road. bathroom facilities excellent.

The room was very spacious but in need of modernisation. The wet room style shower room/toilet was very poor. Location was good though but I didn't think the hotel was worth the money we paid.

Fue una buena experiencia. El trato muy cordial, es un hotel acorde al precio de plaza.

The only problem was with noise from the streets

Although this is a basic hotel, you cant beat it for the price. The room was average size for Florence, very clean, with TV+air con but no views as you are in the city centre. It is just round the corner from the central market if you like bargains they have loads especially the leather goods. It is 5 minutes walk from the Duomo (amazing!) and the train station and about 15 mins to everything else. Overall a great little bargain and I would stay there again.

Good breakfast, in walking distance from the major sightseeings, clean enough but it could be cheaper for the services and facilities provided.

Staff were very friendly. Location was excellent for sightseeing.

Reasonable hotel for couple days, good access to the historical part of Florence. Parking is a bit problematic, because of limited hotel garage.

This hotel has a very central location and is therefore a nice place to stay if you want to explore the city of Florence. Because the hotel is near to the Mercato Centrale the roads are quite noisy, but the airconditioning (with remote control!) brings fresh air into the room so you can keep the windows closed. The employees are friendly and do speak English. Overall this hotel is a good place to stay and worth the money.

The hotel is not adequite to the three stars standard of hotel.

Seemed much more than 100 meters from the central train station, probably closer to 700 meters, but still not too far. Located down the street from a shopping bazaar. Air conditioner was very powerful, highly recommended if you like a cold room on a hot day. Attendant walked us to the room, which was nice. Picture listed on venere.com with the view of the countryside is simply an al fresco - do not expect to actually have breakfast on the patio. Breakfast provided was average. We were able to easily extend our stay by one extra day directly through the hotel.

We had a good experience at Victoria. The price was good for the time we went. The street in front of the hotel is busy pretty much throughout the night, so it gets very noisy. The breakfast was GREAT. The lady serving it was VERY friendly and efficient. The location is VERY NICE too. ess what we paid for :-) Overall. ..RECOMMENDED. Will probably stay here again unless I get VERY rich somehow! :)

It was a pleasant stay. Considering what we have paid for a hotel in Rome, this was a very good value. The room was spacious and clean, though the hotel itself is bit dated. Only complain is a noise from outside - it seems the city of Florence cleans streets at night. We heard noises from street clearing around 11-12pm every night during our stay. I am not sure if the hotel has rooms facing courtyard, but if they do, ask for one.

The hotel, although it's been remodeled, it needs a little bit more work.

A great location, an easy walk from the train station. Breakfast was good, and lots of great restaurants nearby. A great base at a reasonable price for a Florence vacation.

Employees were very nice and kind. Room was small but a cleaner make clean evey day. We 've stayed so comfortable.

The rooms were very tidy and clean. The bed sheets and towels were changed after our first night at the hotel. The capuccino for breakfast was excellent. The staff at the reception and in the breakfast area wasn't smiling too much and wasn't very friendly (partially because they could speak hardly any English), which was a downer. Other than that I got far better value for my money than at a more expensive hotel in Rome the next night.

Noisy and dirty rooms. A bad smell from the surrounding areas. A/c was not turn on and this made things worst. I had to move down the same street apying a small difference ( To Hotel Corona) with more than double service and cleaniness. Too expensive for the room ans should be at most a 2 star hotel. Would avoid this Hotel at all posible.

I have only one complain. We payed 2 x 144 Euro per night for two double rooms, and my brother could walk in from the street and rent a 4 bed room for 110 Euro per night. But we had accepted the price in advange so it didn't spoil our stay at Victoria
