This hotel comes in two parts, one very close to the main train station (exit right, half block or go to the post office side, and cross the street) and its 'annex' which is located around two corners in the same block. Like many hotels, you will need to carry your luggage up a few steps, then there is a... more

The Aurora hotel in Florence is a small hotel located on the third floor of a building adjacent to Santa Maria Novello train station and about a 15 minute walk to Il Duomo so its location is good. The hotel itself is fairly basic but it is clean and the people who work there were very nice, so for me... more

Our terrace room was like a house, including a seperate kitchen and a huge terrace. ıt was a really comfortable hotel, but the air condition was centrally locked. at nights the room was cold. more

I booked this hotel for 2 nights in April. I was arriving from Rome at 10:30PM and would be taking a 6:00AM train to Pisa the next day and chose this hotel because it is across from the train station. I booked a deluxe room for 125EUR that would be in the main building. I did not want to be... more

We chose this hotel for its location which ended up being much more convenient to the train station versus the shopping/arts area of Florence (across the river) but those areas are easily accessible with a short walk. Despite the first impressions of a 3rd floor walk-up (has an elevator) located on a busy street in front of a bus stop,... more
