I was in this hotel Last September ant really enjoyed my stay there, but I didn't know why it doesn't have a good note on trip adviser. So, it has a great location in the old city, about 5 min to the DUOMO. The décoration style is a old italian fashion, but nice, very clean and quiet. beds are comfortable... More

This hotel was within walking distance of the market, duomo, Ufuzzi and Ponte Vecchio bridge! The couple who owned the hotel were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast provided every morning was very nice! The rooms were very simple, but it was perfect for us, since we were usually gone all day anyway. This is not a fancy hotel... More

I decided on staying overnight in Florence on a Saturday night at the spur of the moment without having any reservations and without any internet connection. The first Hotel I went by was full, the second was Hotel Boston, where I was greeted very friendly by the couple who runs the Hotel, and offered me a vacant doubleroom towards the... More

We were in Hotel Nuova Italia but then got shifted to Hotel Boston after bed bug bites in Nuova Italia! Boston was supposed to be a 3-star hotel but our rooms were smelling like sewers! Bathroom was terrible- it was so stenchy as if it was a hot spot for central sewer system for the entire city. The only reason... More

Hotel Boston is a small, family-run hotel, about a 5 minute walk to the Duomo, on Via Guelfa. I booked a single room for about 10 days. The room was incredibly small, with the shower outside of the room, and for 50 euros a night, I expected a bit larger of a place, but it was clean, the service was... More

I intended to stay there for two nights (90 euro per night) but immediately checked out after the first. The place looks clean but the airconditioning was not working. The place felt like an oven. We had a double room. Then we decided to opened the window to cool down the place (since it is winter), we thought that opening... More
