Hotel Reviews Vivahotel Capitol

Room was sparsely furnished and there was no tea facilities. Breakfast was very poor, I didn't even bother with it the second morning. No parking at hotel and trying to park in Florence is a nightmare. Hotel is in need of upgrading. On the plus side it is close to the city centre.

We booked based on other people's reviews, and were not disappointed. Great staff, very helpful, great room, great views. Would definitely recommend it for families. Bought bus tickets at reception, short ride into city centre (would have walked with older kids). The bar was being refurbished, but the reception even had a corkscrew for a bottle I brought in!

This place is a run down, beat up dive. Beds are as hard as rocks and the pillows as thin as paper. For families: The "Quadruple" room means 4 beds in one room. I would not go back.

They did not explain very well how to reach the hotel by car, and we got a little lost to find and also there was a confusion with the name, because it is a Best Western and the Vivahotel Capitol Santa Croce name was hard to find. But the room was very nice, every thing clean and the location of the hotel is very nice. In a busy street and you can walk everywhere in Florence from there and there are nice restaurants and bars around for a nice dinner. We had a good time. At the front desk people were not so friendly, but it is what you get from a chain hotel.

Decent motel that was hard to find, right on the main road. Just had to figure out it was a Best Western and then okay. It was 15 minutes walk to attractions, but the bus stop was 20 meters away, and they sold tickets at the desk. Very handy.

we had a great stay in this hotel; the room was very clean; the breakfast was good. The hotel is far from the center but quite close to Michelangelo Place which is wonderful.

It is a bit far away from the city center, so maybe the price could be a little lower to compensante transportation costs. The hotel is excellent in every thing!

Although situated on outskirts of Florence most places within 20 mins walking distance. Taxi fare, with luggage, from the station was just under 10 Euros The Hop On/Off Tour Bus pick-up was fairly close. Although on a busy main thoroughfare traffic noise was not a problem. The overnight trash collection was the biggest problem. Hotel had a restaurant that served dinner as well as a comfortable bar area. Hotel staff were very helpful and were able to recommend a good local restaurant with excellent food.
