Really delighted with the hotel - we paid 69 euro per night. Because Florence is expensive and we'd got a bit of a deal we had braced ourselves for a bit of a kip but were more than surprised when the hotel was clean, spacious, well run and in an ideal location. The roof top terrace was lovely - as... more

Hotel Pro’s: Staff – I can’t praise the staff there enough. The wonderful woman at the front was a godsend after our car was towed (parked in a no parking zone). She called towing companies and the local police for us. I couldn’t have asked for more. Cleanliness – spotless! Location – couldn’t have asked for a better spot! 20... more

I stayed at La Scaletta for five nights in May 2009. The location cannot be beat. The Ponte Vecchio was a block away, the beautiful Pitti Palace is your backyard. Florence is not a big city and it's easy to walk just about everywhere from this location. My room was much bigger than I was expecting. As a solo traveler,... more

Yes it is an inexpensive place to stay but not a good value. Not very clean, poor design due to it being an old palace that has been broken into small rooms. For example we had to step up to open our door, then step down to enter our room, then step up to enter the bath. I have two... more

We recently stayed in this hotel & I have to say that we were more than disapointed - apart from it's location which is fantastic everything else is very poor & centainly not for people who may find it hard to get up & down the many narrow stairs - most of which are concrete! It is in a very... more

Consider a different hotel. Stayed here 5 days and though the terrace and location are very nice, there are issues. The terrace at night is a bar, it was open to the public while we were there. The security cannot support bar customers and protect the hotel customers. Access to the bar is access to the entire hotel, which has... more

The location and value would be tough to beat. The service was very good and the breakfast and terrace delightful. The rooms and bathrooms are quite large but there is little ambiance and the walls are paper thin. From here, we walked everywhere in Firenze and Trattoria Bordino is a wonderfully delicious restaurant around the corner. There are stairs and... more

The hotel is very well located, one block away from ponte vechio and 5 minute walk to the Ufizzi Palace. The staff was very friendly and helpful at all times. The hotel itself is quite cozy, the rooms are decorated with old furniture which I liked very much as it went along with the whole feeling of the city. It... more

I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights in the course of 2 stints in Florence in April. The hotel is clean, the rooms comfortable, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the rooftop terraces really clinch the deal--they are truly a haven from busy, tourist-packed Florence. The location is just about a block from Ponte Vecchio so incredibly convenient... more
