I stayed at this hotel in October of 2009. The hotel is not centrally located. The building is quite old but the rooms are sufficiently sized in comparison to other hotels I've stayed in, in Florence. The front desk clerk at the time was quite helpful, he allowed me to check in early and was conversant in English. With this... More

I've stayed at this hotel many times because it is convenient for our cause. It is nothing exceptional, just a room, most of the time clean with a ok bed and old fashioned furniture. The staff are always very polite and the breakfast is a combination of cheap pastries and cereal. The coffee for italian standards is terrible as it... More

We was extremely pleased with many aspects of this hotel. The reception/breakfast area is attractive, making a good first impression. We were very impressed with our room, which was a good size, very clean and attractively furnished. The en-suite was a good size too. Our room also has a flat screen tv, and free wifi. We were on the top... More

I expected the worse but it was a very good and nice place. Small and friendly. We stay for 4 nights and use the local bus for travel to the center of Florence. The restaurant in the next house was perfect. Not a romantic restaurant, but very good food. More

Hotel is clean and cosy. Rooms are very big and comfortable , bed was perfect. Breakfast which was included in room price was great. Hotel has a free parking and also free Wifi internet access. If you want to go to the center of the city there is a bus station in front of the hotel so it is better... More

After reading other reviews I was very hesitant to book this hotel. But I was very glad that our friends insisted on it. We are traveling a lot so good and reasonably priced hotels are very important. Hotel Alex is very good .Very clean. Good air conditioning. Quite spacious rooms and bathrooms. Helpful and friendly staff especially Donald and Andrea.... More

This was a good hotel if it was sold as a 2-stars but because that's a 3-stars one I have to say that is inadequate. Rooms have old furnitures and mine had the roof with some damp. Bathroom is tiny and wc and bidet are too close and it's impossible to sit on the bidet if you're taller than 160cm!... More

Pros: Very clean. Good air conditioning unit. Quite spacious. Near a good pizza place (Firenze Super Pizza). Helpful and friendly staff. Cons: Far from the city (would not suggest walking). The busses are quick and easy to take once you know the correct lines. Do not trust the bus drivers to drop you near where they think the hotel is... More

The service (nice) and the air conditioning (working) are the only good things about this hotel. One can tell that the building has been renewed recently, but the furnitures is the old (and dirty) one. Cleaning is really something unknown there, breakfast leaves something to be desired, and the rooms on first floor are noisy. But the worst was the... More

As my first time in Europe, I was under the misconception that Bed and Breakfast would in fact include a breakfast. Also looking at the website that stated linens included meant that you had to specificly ask for towels that it promised with your room. This would have been fine if we had been able to ask the mananger of... More
