Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Our family run hotel is right in the heart of Florence old town - near to the Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio. Without doubt, Hotel Alessandra is one of the most centrally located hotels in Florence. In this privileged position, Hotel Alessandra offers a home away from home, with our friendly team and extensive knowledge of the local area. The hotel entrance is situated on the second floor of the building. You can reach the reception floor using the lift, small but working fine (in the 1400s buildings hadn't been designed with this in mind!) but please note that there are around 30 steps from the entrance on the street level to the departure of the lift. We very much look forward to seeing you! Andrea and Anna ... more less

“Hotel is great!”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

The hotel is wonderful! The room was large - we had a double room - and clean with a private bath. The location is very convenient to Uffizi, the Ponte Vecchio, and most of the sites in central Florence. If you arrive in the afternoon, you will most likely be greeted by Monti, who was amazing!! He has an outstanding... More

“Can't find a friendlier place or a better location in Florence!”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

Fabulous location on a quiet street near the river and a short walk to the Uffizi, with the friendliest and most helpful staff imaginable (a special shout-out to the incomparable Monti!). Pleasant room with an air conditioner (wasn't turned on yet but not needed), reliable Wi-fi, and a decent breakfast. On top of that, guests could use the phone for... More

Spot on! You described the good and bad very accurately. We are lovely, Monti is gorgeous, we adore our guests, we have stairs and Italy has mosquitoes! Thank you! More

“Excellent”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

We loved our week long stay at the end of April in the very large suite with a beautiful view! The location is perfect, the staff is all so friendly, and the restaurant recommendations (and reservations made for us) were perfect. The stairs were good exercise after all the eating we did, and we found the breakfast a great start... More

Wel, we hope so too. Stay with us on facebook, and give some great advice to our future clients if you can. We have a wonderful community that helps each other. Would love to have you take part. More

“Excellent small vintage property”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

If you want to be walking distance to all of the treasures of Florence, this is the place. Very short walks to the Uzzifi, the Duomo, the Ponte Vechio. This is a vintage property that's close to 1,000 years old. The adjacent church is from 805AD. It's staying in a piece of history. The first night was probably in their... More

We love your review thank you! We are not quite a thousand years old (over 500 though), and yes - we are riddled with history! And you are spot on - we are not luxury, we are lovely, and we think that's much better. The shared bathroom never is a problem - and we make sure that the bathrooms are... More

“Great location, excellent staff”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

This hotel was perfectly situated just down and one street across from the Ponte Vecchio. Value for money in the heart of Florence. The staff were great. Every single suggestion was a wonderful experience and they helped us out a lot. Monti - you are a special character and made us laugh Breakfast is ok for being included and the... More

Glad that you loved it, and enjoyed our resident character - Monti! He is loved by one and all. Yes, Florence (and Italy in general) do suffer from mosquitoes. However, the problem is not that we in Italy have not heard of fly-screens! We have this other problem that perhaps in Australia you don't have ;-) - 500 year old... More

“Excellent Hotel Alessandra”

This is a centrally positioned hotel which had a family feel about it. We received a very warm welcome from the lady on reception. The en-suite room was huge with lovely antique furniture and had a river view. The breakfast was continental style with plenty of choice. (This hotel would not be practical for anybody with mobility problems as you... More

Wonderful! We love it that you enjoyed it so much! And thank you for taking the time to write here. More

“Good Value for the Money”

Reviewed 2 May 2013

Hotel Alessandra is located in the heart of Florence and was walking distance to everything. It was very affordable for the location. At the same time, be prepared for thin walls and lots of stairs! The hotel is on the 4th floor and there is a lift, but it is extremely small (understandable, since this building is very old), so... More

Mostly wonderful! But thin walls surprises us. Tuscany is reknowned for its ridiculously thick walls - and ours often cause us problems when rewiring or fitting new ari-con units (up to 50-60cm). Would you be so kind as to write to us in private on info@hotelalessandra.com and tell us which room you were in and what the problem was? It... More

“Hospitality Makes the Hotel”

Andrea is as kind a hotelier as you will find, and will go the extra mile to ensure you book the tours you want take or have dinner in a good restaurant. The hotel is in an excellent location near near the river by Ponte Vecchio and near an open market, and rooms are surprisingly spacious. The breakfast is very... More

“Amazing price for something so central in Florence”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

It is difficult to find anything affordable so central in Florence, so I was amazed to find the hotel is also very nice. It is just around the corner from the Ponte Vecchio, but on a quiet street. The rooms were recently refurbished, clean and comfortable, and the staff very courteous and fluent in many languages. The website did not... More

All so good (wifi, stairs, lift, our lovely staff) but we trip up on mattresses. It's a cultural thing! In Italy matteresses are hard - and we truly believe that it is good for your spine. Our matterasses have ALL been recently replaced and are of approved orthodpedic quality. If you have no back pain in your 90s you can... More
