HOTEL BOSTON, Florence

The hotel sits in the historic centre, within easy walking distance of most major sights-Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, and the Accademia are all 10-15 minutes on foot. Santa Maria Novella station is a 5-minute walk, with tram lines connecting to the airport and other parts of the city. For drivers, the hotel is accessible through the ZTL zone, and a guarded garage (€26/24h) is located 100 metres away. The area is lively, with numerous restaurants, cafés, and shops just steps from the door. Public parking on the street is not available for tourists; use the nearby garage.

Standard double rooms feature colourful bed linen and wood furniture, with city or inner courtyard views. The single rooms are compact but well-equipped with a walk-in shower and slippers. For more space, the quadruple room has three beds and city views, while the suite offers a separate living area and a kitchen with stovetop, microwave, and refrigerator-ideal for longer stays. Rooms facing the garden are noticeably quieter; those near reception or the street may experience noise from check-in traffic. Some rooms are described as small, with limited storage, so planning accordingly is advisable. All rooms are non-smoking, soundproofed, and have a safe and heating.
