Alamanni Hotel - Florence, Italy 

Welcoming, Clean & Comfortable
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
While traveling in Italy with a group of 4, our first stop was Florence. Hotel Alamanni was able to offer us a suite with a queen bed and two singles in an apartment block just around the corner from the hotel to accommodate. At first, walking to the apartment felt strange, but when we arrived the room was very clean, comfortable with a private kitchen and bathroom. The breakfast room in the hotel is very cute, assortment was good and has a great view of the Duomo. The location was excellent, just a 5 min walk from the train station and Santa Maria Novella - a must see for any art lover. The staff was extremely friendly and patient as our Italian was almost non-existant! If you're traveling on a budget, this is the perfect place to make the most of your Euros!

We were on the Jolly special which meant we didn't stay in the hotel itself, we were in appartments about 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The appartments were very nice, not to difficult to find. Very new bathrooms, clean and tidy. Our room was facing onto the main raod so it was a little noisy and being on the ground floor, we were unable to have the shutters open. The room was air-conditioned and in a good location for the train station and to explore the rest of Florence on foot.

There were 4 of us staying in a 5 pax apartment in late March 09. We were required to check in to the hotel (which seemed quite pleasant) before proceeding to the apartment about 50 metres down the road. The location wasn't that great, but convenient to the train station which was our main concern. The cleaniness was lacking. My bed cover had suspicious looking stains on it, and we had to wash the cups (which were stained too) before we could use them. Also, there was no kettle but we could boil water in a sauce pan, and the TV worked one day but not the next. Lastly, more information should be given on check in. We were freezing the first night because we had no idea how to use the heating and we didn't know that breakfast was included until we checked out and were asked if we were staying for breakfast. One the plus side, the staff were pleasant and helpful. Special mention has to go to the night reception guy who was kind enough to give us a cup of milk and so we could have coffee in the morning! As a budget consious traveller in a group, I might choose this place again, but only if I could get over the stained bed cover.

This was an apartment outside main building. We stayed there for two days. Very suitable from price perspectives. Location was good but was not easy to find. Additionaly, there were road repairs that made it more difficult. Otherwise, our stay was very good.
