HOTEL SPAGNA, Florence

The hotel is ideally placed for exploring Florence on foot: Santa Maria Novella is 300 m away, Piazza del Duomo is a 4-minute walk, and Palazzo Vecchio is reachable in 7 minutes. The Uffizi Gallery is less than 1 km. Florence Airport (FLR) is 9 km away and directly connected by the T2 tram line, with a stop adjacent to the hotel. The area is dense with restaurants-at least seven are within a 0.5 km radius-as well as a supermarket. The central train station is about 5 minutes on foot, making day trips easy. For those arriving by car, parking is arranged off-site to avoid ZTL restrictions.

Room types include single, twin/double, triple, and quadruple, with private bathrooms featuring a shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Each room has a wardrobe, heating, and a minibar (no microwave). Rooms are generally small, especially for four people, and some are described as basic or in need of refresh - wallpaper peeling and dated furnishings occur in some units. Road-facing rooms can be noisy from traffic, and some rooms have limited natural light with windows facing internal courtyards. Air conditioning is available but can be inconsistent; some units may struggle on very hot days. No lift means climbing steep, narrow stairs; rooms are not available on the ground floor. If you prefer a double bed, book the Deluxe Double or Twin Room and specify your preference.

WiFi is available free of charge in all rooms. Daily housekeeping is included. Luggage storage is free of charge from morning arrival until evening after checkout. Laundry service is available for an additional charge. The reception is staffed from 12:00 to 21:00; after hours, access is via key code and monitored CCTV. The hotel uses key-card access, smoke alarms, and security alarms. Staff speak English, Spanish, French, and Italian and are consistently described as friendly and helpful. No business centre, but fax/photocopying is available. Paid off-site parking (Garage Michelangelo, €26 per 24h) is arranged with a valet service to avoid ZTL fines.
