If you arrive in Florence by train then the position of Vasari Palace is hard to beat. The centre with all of its attractions is only 15 minutes walk and restaurants abound. The hotel is a little tired but clean and pleasant enough. The reception staff are outstanding, with nothing to much trouble. The only down side for me was... More

Hotel Vasari Palace is in an excellent position, less than five minutes walking from S.M. Novella train station and about 10 from the Cathedral and the centre. The ensuite room (booked for my parents) was clean, tidy, with mini-fridge and flat-screen tv. . Furniture wasn't brand new nor so classy, but in good conditions. Breakfast was (I was told) ok...

I stayed at the Vasari Palace for two nights in mid-April. The hotel is about a five-minute walk from the Santa Maria Novella train station, but is well removed from the attendant hustle and bustle, fast-food outlets, etc. However, the street on which it is located is open to vehicular traffic, which could pose a noise problem for street-facing rooms....

Like other reviewers, we thought that with such unbeatable rates in a city like Florence, we could not expect much. We were pleasantly surprised for the two nights we stayed. The hotel is comfortable, in an excellent location - 5 minutes from the railroad station and within walking distance of all the sights of Florence. A nice breakfast is served... More

I liked it. When booking this kind of hotel one has a certain amount of trepidation, the likelihood that it will be a dump (at this price) is quite high. However, my fears were relieved when I entered. It is not a high end property so expect to compromise on a few things, such as the shower. Nevertheless you get... More

I really liked this hotel. Its location is very central and you can walk everywhere. Having my car parked in the hotel courtyard was a great bonus. It was also easy to reach the place as it is just next to the railway station. The hotel is welcoming, the beds were OK and the service very helpful. The room was... More

I had an experience similar to the previous post. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the hotel was very clean. The shower was tiny, but we had sliding doors, it was almost impossible to raise my arms the wash my hair and I am not a large person. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. There was an...

We were very pleased with the staff at the Hotel Vasari, but unfortunately the accommodations were not pleasant. My main complaint is the shower. The shower was so small, that the curtain stuck to you the entire time. Our room also smelled musty and damp. Opening the windows did not help. It may have just been our specific room. I... More

The location (5mins to Santa Maria Novella train station and 10mins to city centre) and the cost of the hotel was why we chose it, however I wouldnt have accepted a 'dump' and was pleased that we didnt get one! The rooms were comfortable - nothing special, but clean and good value. The staff were accomodating and the breakfast was... More
