First impressions of Hotel Desiree were very positive. Less than two minutes from the train station. As you enter, you are greeted by a quaint old lift, which takes you to reception on the second floor. Beautiful antique furniture and stained glass add to the charm of the hotel. We were booked in for two nights and unfortunately our room... More

We stayed here just one nite on our way to Venice. Just minutes from the train station which was really convenient considering we went on the train to Pisa from here.Staff were friendly and the breakfast was typical. Shower was a little small and different but that just added to the experience. We would stay here again if we were... More

Very close the the Florence SMN (main) train station. It's max 5 minutes walk from the station. Good breakfast and no traffic noise. More

We stayed for 2 nights in a double room. the stay was great with freindly staff and very great breakfast. I was surprised by the facilities for the price. It is completely value for money. Also it is located very conveniently near to train and bus stop and not far away from tourist attractions. A well priced nice hotel. I... More

Stayed 2 nights in a single room with pleasant experience, and friendly staff. Conveniently located just across from the train/bus terminal, and close to all major tourist attractions, it's a good choice. Be realistic with the nice clean room and don't expect 5 star facilities for the pricing. The bathroom was OK though the shower space was narrow. Breakfast offered... More

It's just across from the train station and close to all the other attractions you would want to see. The room isn't anything special; the bathroom was nice and big. Typical European breakfast offered. It's in a building shared by other small hotel establishments (seemed to be one per floor). This one is on the 3rd floor. More

Conveniently located right around the corner from the SMN train station. Clean and well maintained with original decor. I found it to be a really great value for the money. The best part of the hotel is the staff- they were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout my entire stay and really made me feel welcome and relaxed. I'll definitely be... More
