From: Ann Ten Seldam, Australia
Date of Stay: September, 2008
this hotel was overall very good. Our room was over a noisy lane which leads to the station so we heard luggage being rattled over the cobblestones at all hours , rubbish being collected and one very noisy party of Australian men who had obviously been out for a good night( shame on our compatriots). There seem to be just a few rooms facing this way so just ask for an internal one. the staff were very helpful . Our room was lovely. the breakfast is adequate but basic. the hotel is just a short walk from the railway station which was very useful.

Our trip to Florence was beautiful and what made even better was our stay at Porta Faenza Hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful. The hotel is within a confortable walking distance from every historical and cultural site. When I return to Florence, I will stay at the Porta Faenza Hotel again.
 
From: MM, USA
Date of Stay: June, 2008
Room was very small, but comfortable. (We had the “Double Economy” type of room.) Recommend at least the next size larger, as you could not walk around the bed if someone was sitting at the desk. Desk clerks were very helpful. Breakfast was cereals, fruit, bread/rolls, meats & cheese. Internet connection is wireless, which we could not get to work in our room. Also, only available in two hour increments, although the desk clerk will give you passwords for more than one period at a time if requested. Close to train station, but in a nice area.

When I was approaching the hotel, I saw the neon sign and wasn't too hopeful. I was pleasantly surprised to enter a huge room, by European standards. The room was clean, the staff spoke English and the queen bed was huge. This place was bargain during the Christmas season. It was very close to the train station and near all the major sights by walking.

Muy bien situado para la visita a Florencia, cerca de la estacion de tren en una calle casi peatonal, el personal es atento y la habitación es acojedora y tranquila, el desayuno es correcto, el zumo de brick (en otros hoteles de italia desconocemos el proceso que siguen para volver el agua de color naranja), del hotel al Duomo 8 minutos andando, hotel muy recomendable.

Very nice property. Polite, helpful, clean and spacious rooms. Little to no noise travels between rooms, but street noise is an issue. I'm not sure this would be better at any other nearby hotels.

This charming hotel is located close to the train station and only a stone's throw from the San Lorenzo market and the Duomo. The Uffizi and the Accademia are also within walking distance. The rooms of this hotel are gorgeously furnished. Staff are very professional and friendly. Free internet is definitely a plus. Will return in the future.

Date of Stay: December, 2007
Internet reviews persuaded us to choose this hotel and we were not disappointed. Even after a long and tiring journey, it was easy to drag our bag from the railway station to the Porta Faenza. Once inside we were kindly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The room (at the back opening on to a courtyard) was small but extremely quiet. The bathroom was a good size and well equipped. In the morning the breakfast, which included fresh fruit, was all we could have wished for. The position of the hotel is ideal. The Via Faenza is not busy but it is in easy walking distance of all the artistic and architectural attractions that we wanted to see. In the evening there is a good choice of restaurants a few minutes away. The staff, from the chamber maids to the management, were very friendly and extremely helpful, charming in fact. We stayed four nights and would use this hotel again. We felt it represented very good value for money and we liked its atmosphere.

We went to Firenze to have a look at the beautiful art galleries. We left the Terravision bus and we only walk five m' to reach Porta Faenza. We especially appreciate the cleaning of our room. We recommend the restaurant Nerone situated in the same street at two m' from the hotel.

Beatrice was cheerful and quite accomadating. Initial room was tiny tiny tiny but eventually we were switched to a larger room (although it was near the lobby and noisy early in AM). Location very convenient to train station.

Excellent hotel - located in an old historic bldg but underwent renovation, nice stylized interior design. Good value. Has elevator! The only complaint is that they are serving for breakfast the worst coffee in Italy.
