We booked two nights at this hotel and were very disappointed. First I would like to say that the lady that greeted us at the desk was absolutely lovely. She was so helpful and very kind and I couldn't have asked for better reception. We were disappointed with the location and the cleanliness of the rooms. The location is less... more

We booked the Hotel Basilea based on Rick Steve's Italy 2007 book. He classifed it as a typical 3-star hotel. Oh my, does he have some things to learn about what a 3-star hotel is. First the lift would only hold one person and one suite case. Once we entered the room, which had a very musty smell I could... more

I stayed in this hotel when I went with EF Tours my senior year of high school. I loved this hotel! It was one of the best that we stayed in! I found the service great and the fact that you could walk from the hotel to anywhere was an added plus, since that was one of the few places... more

There was a mix up with my reservation at this hotel. I called several times from California to ensure I'd have a room for 2 nights. The hotel was only able to accomodate me for 1 night but said would try hard for a 2nd night. Since I never got a response I booked 1 night with their sister Hotel... more

I was booked into the hotel for a stay of almost two weeks (early March 2007, off season), and arrived with low expectations due to some of the comments on Tripadvisor. My own opinion is that this hotel represents a good value in Florence if you book a room for around 75 euros a night (or less) for a double... more

I stayed here for two nights in May 2005. My room was large. However, it was somewhat dingy and the furniture was old. The bathroom was small and dirty. My room had a balcony but there was no view. The staff was friendly and there was free internet in the lobby. Breakfast was good. I would recommend this hotel only... more

Thank goodness our stay in Florence was only 2 nights otherwise we would have definitely found somewhere else. The front desk attendants were as pleasant as they need to be. Our biggest gripe is that the room (#208) was just plain old dirty. Think our initial reaction upon entering was, eewww gross. Stains on the walls, dingy, and grungy. The... more

We just returned from 2 weeks in Italy, which included 3 days and 2 nights in Florence. We used Rick Steve's Italy 2006 book to plan our trip. He recommended this hotel in the book. It's not in a great location, although it's close to the train station. About a 10 to 15 minute brisk walk to the center of... more

We've stayed at the Basilea for 2 nights. Con's: 1. *Very* small rooms - hard to move around in 2. Old / bad shape furniture and facilities 3. Paper thin room doors with old unsafe locks Pro's: 1. Good & central location (Via Guelfa #41, Florence). 2. Helpful staff - Especially Carlo the night shift clerk 3. The hotel has... more
