Plus Florence - Hostel
"Our room was clean and spacious. It is located near things people want to see in Florence. Also, close to train and bus but walkable. They also stored our luggage at checkout for the day for much less than a storage place. Great and affordable choice for families or groups of friends!"

"Great for a one night stay. Stayed on 5th floor which can only be accessed by stairs or elevator to 2nd floor and then stairs. Staff was helpful in bringing luggage up and down but if you have any trouble ambulating make sure you specify a room on a floor accessed directly by the elevator."

Towels provided were extremely ..."

Bernini Palace
"Stayed a couple of times at the Bernini, this time my only complaint is that the rooms need a little upkeep, and he location is unmatchable, 50 meters from Piazza de la Signoria and pretty much walkable to all main attractions of Florence."
