 Date of Stay: September, 2006
 Hotel is in good location and is great value in comparision to other hotels in Florence. Staff were very welcoming and hugely helpful, a great asset. Perhaps we were unlucky with the room we had, it overlooked the road, the noise from the traffic below was deafening.....especially early in the morning! Overall, would recommend.
 
2. From: Meador Jason

 I stayed in Florence for two nights. Both nights I stayed with the Albion Hotel and was extremely pleased with the service provided. I will suggest this stay to all of my friends. Great Job!

 Great hotel. Good location, friendly and very helpful staff. Only one slight criticism, although the hotel was very quaint and authentic italian, our room could have perhaps done with a lick of paint. But overall, a very enjoyable stay.

 Date of Stay: March, 2006
 good location, 2 blocks from the river 10 mins stroll to Bridge and Railway station.Staff Helpful and polite room had TV with Italian sky so english movie and live premiership matches. Breakfast normal Italian buffet as expected. Nightlife around the hotel is good with both english type pubs, steakhouse, chinese and local tuscan. One drawback Saturday night expect a lot of noise from local teenages that congragate around the square where the hotel is which goes on till 3 in the morning. Apart from that very nice.
 
7. From: Doberczak Linda
 Date of Stay: February, 2006
 The Albion was wonderful- the owners were friendly and went out of their way to help us enjoy our visit. The staff was pleasant and competent. We reserved a room for four, but on arrival were offered a small suite in a quieter location for the same price. It was about a 15 minute stroll into town, but that was known when we rented it. Great value, great people. We would go there again.
 
8. From: Levy David
 Date of Stay: July, 2005
 great location, about 15 minute walk to the centre; the family running the hotel are extremely friendly and helpful; the free internet terminal is useful; hotel has its own parking (for reasonable charge).
 
9. From: Voltmann Stephen
 Date of Stay: February, 2004
 we enjoyed our stay at the Albion. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was convenient. The room was clean and large.

 We enjoyed our stay at the Albion Hotel very much. It has a warm atmosphere and the staff is friendly and provides an efficient and personalized service. It is also very well located. I highly recommend it.
