Hotel Azzi

Very central location, staff were very helpful and polite Rooms are definitely a hostel style, curtains didnt stop the light they were very thin and too far away from the window A basic 3 star hotel

5-8 minute walk from Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station/bus terminal to the hotel. Hella convenient. Lovely staff, very helpful and attentive. Has the option to store luggage in a locked room before and after check-in. All you have to do is ask. Although not totally secure. Some staff will take you there and make sure you are entering or exiting with your own baggage but others are fine with the honor system. Which cool, just don't put anything valuable in there. I did come back once to take my things out and the door was open from when it was last accessed. I think there's an option for storing valuables that I read about but didn't use during my stay. Solid wifi access. No key access. App is used to access particular floors, room, and shared kitchen areas. My phone was unreliable and didn't work to open my room initially, forgot to turn on Bluetooth whoops, but you're also sent a pin number to type into the keypad to get in. Stayed in a single bed room with private bath. Room itself was super cute. Had a nice outdoor patio area. It was only separated from the next room's patio by some plants so don't expect too much privacy. You have the option to lock the inner glass door though. Expect noise. It's attached to a hostel. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Bathroom was clean. Water pressure in the shower was great. Hair dryer worked a charm, bonus! I did notice some ants coming in from under the molding, ew. But I didn't have any food in my bags so they didn't stick around. They had some free breakfast in the morning when I first arrived that people were helping themselves to on the first floor. I think there's also food you can help yourself to in the kitchen area all day as a guest. They have games nights and happy hour if you're into meeting people. I'm a hermit though so I can't speak to how they were lols. Little pricy for a one night stay for me but the location was tops, I did have a private room with my own bathroom, and didn't help myself to the available food. I'm sure if you're someone who would take advantage of the social events it would've been more worth it.
