Hotel La Fortezza - Florence, Italy 

"Very Impressed - So quiet!"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We recently stayed at La Fortezza in mid-May, on our first trip to Europe! We did not use a travel agent to plan, simply "winged it" in choosing hotels for our trip by using reviews here and elsewhere. Had no problem with the hotel honoring our quoted price at time of check-out. Our room was on the first floor - it was adequate, not large, but definitely enough for us, as we didn't spend much time there except to sleep! Florence is a small enough city that you can pretty much walk anywhere you want, so we didn't find the location a problem at all. It is close enough to the train station that you really don't even need to take a taxi from there to the hotel...maybe a ten minute walk. It is a very nice residential neighborhood, safe and QUIET! We also weren't too excited about breakfast - later spent time at a hotel in Rome where the breakfast was much better, but we also paid more for our hotel in Rome, so I have to say that you get what you pay for! All in all, my husband and I would recommend this hotel to our family members, and we'd stay there again in the future!

Il giorno del mio compleanno l'ho passato a Firenze,soggiornando all'hotel La Fortezza.A parte la zona piuttosto rumorosa e trafficata,l'hotel si è rivelato decisamente al di sotto delle mie aspettative. Camera veramente troppo piccola,come il bagno dove è stato un vero problema usare il wc praticamente incollato al lavabo...Almeno la stanza era pulita...Colazione veramente scarsa come qualità,personale gentile ma molto distaccato,servizio taxi ultrarapido anche se un furto...quando tornerò nella splendida Firenze non soggiornerò più in questo mediocre hotel.

the room was clean, silent and with a view on the Russian church. Staff kind and discreet. The location, just a step away from a heavily trafficked crossroad, is incredibly quiet and relaxing. We had a perfect stay, although it was just for one night. Highly reccommended. Cannot rate breakfast cause we slept in and missed it!

Clean, comfortable and friendly!

Four of us stayed here and four of us loved it. What great value for money. Rooms are clean, comfortable and well decorated. The staff are very friendly and helpful; the location is safe and within 20 minutes walk of the major attractions. We thought we might be some way out at first but were so pleased that we had walked everywhere from the hotel, we felt like we knew Florence well by the end of stay.
