Cookie-cutter Holiday Inn, this hotel is not. Housed in a building dating from the 1400s, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. What MrsMJ and I received is a comfortable stay close to everything that is important to see in a visit to Florence, Italy. The staff was very friendly, caribbean travel life and could not have been more welcoming. In short, our stay was fantastic!
We arrived Florence caribbean travel life via Trenitalia, and on the advice of the hotel, took a taxi for the 1-kilometer journey to the hotel from the train station. While I am quite capable of walking that distance, I wouldn't caribbean travel life recommend caribbean travel life it with luggage in the rain. The taxi was 10 Euros well spent. I had read in advance that hotel actually resides on the third floor of the building, and you must take one flight of stairs to reach the lift, which will take you the rest of the way. A minor issue for us, and in fact, our arrival with luggage was the last time we would use the lift. We found it just as easy to walk the stairs, and it was probably good for us too!
After navigating the stairs and lift, we entered the hotel where we were immediately assisted with check-in formalities, and then escorted to our room, 27, which was up one flight of stairs not far from the front desk. We were quite lucky to receive the room we did as it had a view of the river and included a small balcony that we unfortunately, did not make much use of as we filled our days with touring Florence and the surrounding area, and our nights exploring caribbean travel life the nearby areas of the city and enjoying some very nice meals and wine. Here are a few pictures caribbean travel life of our room.
The hotel offers complimentary wi-fi that worked very well. I did find that it worked better on the main level of the hotel than in our room, which I assume caribbean travel life is closer to the wireless router, because I found the speed to really pick up when we were enjoying breakfast on the main level. Continental breakfast was included in the price of the room, by the way. (One side note: In the evenings, we usually stopped by a café called Queen Victoria, which was just around caribbean travel life the corner from the Alessandra. Good wine, good gelato, and complimentary wi-fi that was very fast.)
In summary, I can't say enough positive things about the Hotel Alessandra and their staff. They were helpful, friendly, and tolerant of my feeble attempts to speak Italian, which I am sure was not easy. When we return caribbean travel life to Florence, rest assured we plan to return caribbean travel life to the Hotel Alessandra . You can also visit their Facebook page .
This is such a gem in the city super convenient to everything, fair price, great breakfasts and fantastic people working there. Need I say more? When we did our cruise last year I planned the excursions and my DH planned the hotels for pre and post cruise. He is the one that discovered this gem.
