The hotel is well placed just a couple of minutes from the Staion and main attractions. The breakfast was adequate though we went to the covered market and bought fruit and cheese to compliment it. I would recommend the hotel as it did what we wanted. A roof over our heads, a comfy bed and security.

Date of Stay: October, 2008
We first stayed in another hotel in Florence which was around the same price, was much nicer and in a better location. This hotel is close to the train station so not in a great location, was noisy on the street and the actual building was a bit run down. Also the rooms were not very nice and we had trouble finding a good place to eat that was close by after a long day on the train. Overall, not a great value for money. I would not stay here again.
 
From: Brian Eggleston, United States
Date of Stay: May, 2008
Very pleased with the Kursaal & Ausonia. The only negative thing I have to say about the hotel is the "Kursaal" portion of the sign isn't lit at night. Awesome hot beverage machine for the mornings! Very friendly staff. Ask them to help you book at the Accademia and Uffizi as early as possible. ciao bella!

Date of Stay: May, 2008
Quality of Room scored a 4 because my husband thought the bed was too hard. The street the hotel was on was quite noisy but most of the hotels we looked at before booking were also on this street - which was very central to everthing - hence the noise. The hotel staff were very friendly - we had a lovely time - we would like to visit Florence again & would certainly consider this hotel.

This was our first visit to Florence. The hotel is convenient for both the station and the main attractions (both easy walking distance). Hotel doesn't look great from outside but once inside take the lift up to reception where rooms and breakfast room are situated and things improve. Our room had a nice balcony overlooking the rooftops to the Duomo in the distance.

This hotel is well located near the train station, though on a very busy road so you'd be best to ask for a room which doesn't face the street. The decor is a little tired but it was clean and safe and a good breakfast was provided.

Date of Stay: April, 2008
The hotel was furnished to a very high standard, the room and bathroom were lovely and extremely clean. The staff on reception were most helpful providing us with information about what to see in Florence. A good location - 3 minute walk from the train station. Easy to walk to the main attractions within minutes - possible to see all of Florence by foot. Breakfast was very nice with a selection of yoghurts, rolls, crossiants, melba toast, cereal and the italian equilvilant of a jam tart. My only concern was the level of noise in the room. We found it extremely hard to sleep due to the noise of people outside and the constant traffic going up and down via nazionale at all hours. Our room was right next to reception so this also meant alot of noise from people coming in late at night. This is why I rated 4 out of 6 for families with young children as the noise of people drunk outside our door was a little daunting even for me. However this could have been a one off and if your located on the floor below this may not be an issue. Apart from that one thing everything else was great and I would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

The location of the hotel was perfect for exploring Florence on foot. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Satellite TV would have been a plus. Would definitely stay there again.

The staff members were all very sweet, however the owners were irritating, every time they were around there was dispute coming up, payment related issues in particular, such as not accepting credit card payments for services charges and requiring cash payment. The Laundry charge was 10 euros, when I asked him to add on the invoice he said it should be paid by cash otherwise he would charge me 20 euros on the invoice. The heating was not working we freezed every night and morning. But the price and cleanness would be valued as strong points compared to the average hotel in Italy. If I had only 90 euros I would go there again.

We stayed at the hotel twice in a week. First time the room was a little run down but clean and well sized, and with a great view of the duomo. Second time our room was much better with new modern bathroom etc. The hotels location is superb, very central and right next to the market. Staff was friendly and helpful, and breakfast standard italian (a little boring but great coffee). Cheap WIFI (€5 for 24h). Great value for money - would definately stay there again.

Excellent location. Friendly helpful staff. Managed to get the room changed on arrival to a twin instead of a double. Room was a bit small but was ok for the length of time we were in it.

The hotel was very central and within easy walking distance of the main sights. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The hotel is on the 2nd and 3rd floors of a building, there was a minute lift, not good if you are claustraphobic!! The room was basic and clean, the bathroom was very modern and spacious with a good shower. Would stay there again

We did stay 4 nights in Florence and I like this hotel. It has lift (small) and is very close to Santa Maria Novela Station. The breakfast was very good! And we visit all places by foot... it is well located.

Considering the high cost, what you are really paying for is the location. It is in walking distance to the Galleria de l'Accademia (Michelangelo's David) and to the Duomo as well as to the restaurant populated areas and the train station. The room was tackily decorated with dim lighting but otherwise decent. The shower stall does not have walls, so half the bathroom floor gets wet. Reception is on the 3rd floor while rooms are on the 2nd floor, so it was annoying to have to go up to drop off your key before heading out. Breakfast is ok; we never ate there. Internet is expensive; best to go to 1 of the 5 internet cafes around the corner. The manager/owner was very difficult about us leaving a day early stating that we could only cancel through Venere, which is not true. We managed to "escape" by paying at night with the evening staff and dropping off the key early in the morning. In general, staff were helpful; the hotel provides a guide to the city.
