Palazzo Lombardo

It is a decent hotel with well managed good amenities. The rooms are clean and they have beutiful interiors. The ambiance if the hotel is in sync with the history of Florence where we can see sculptures and furniture making special impact. The front desk is not full time but they make arrangements for check in at any time. Breakfast is not served which probably makes the limitation along with the problem of climbing a few steps from ground to lobby with luggage in had

Firstly please note that this is not a hotel but more of a guest house. I am looking to provide a review/information that will give true details about the place as supposed to just my experience. The place itself is great, the rooms are great and keep to the old look and feel of Florence. The building overall has the rich Florence culture and was great to stay in. The rooms are well kept and serviced everyday. In regards to the location, it is very far from the city centre however literally next to Florence's football stadium. So depend's on what type of visit you are looking to do. That said, if you are looking somewhere affordable and/or away from the city centre due to the noise/crowds then this is a place to keep in mind. You can walk 5 minutes to the train station and take the overground train into central Florence (1 stop, about 10 minutes), however this is an overground service and therefore trains are not as frequent and after a long day walking around the city it can feel very long to take an overground train back to your room (especially if it's dark and late). Taxi''s are obviously an option, but when you weigh up the cost of taking a taxi back and forth from the city centre you might have just considered a hotel in the city. Another thing to keep in mind, during my stay, they only had a fix/set time for the reception to be managed (which was 9am-6pm). Therefore if you need someone after 6pm or before 9am there is an emergency number to call. This is all dependent on your needs, for example in case you have someone elderly and needs support after 6pm or early morning, this would be on you to sort out or call the emergency number to arrange. Not having a reception managed all the time can have its difficulties, for example, if you ever need a taxi in short notice the place will be unable to help, if you need to checkout before 9am for flight or other reasons, there is no way to do this. This place does not serve any kind of food, however they have complimentary tea and coffee available at all times in a shared lounge area (shared by all guests).
