2 star Hotels in Santa Croce

Hotel is pretty close to downtown. 15min by walk to downtown. Hotel staffs were very kind!! Breakfast was very nice!!

This charming historic hotel is run by two hard-working brothers. They go out of their way to ensure their guests' comfort and provide many tips for sightseeing and restaurants. The excellent cappucino is a great way to begin the day. The location ensures that you are close to all of the beautiful sights of Florence. It was recommended that we take the walk up to The Piazzale Michelangelo, this was a highlight of the trip, amazing view!! The hotel is in an ancient building, but the brothers have updated, note there is no elevator, but they kindly bring your luggage up to your room. The rooms are small but comfortable. The shower is very small, just be aware if you are tall. Our best experiences in Italy were with family owned businesses and The Hotel Santa Croce was no exception!!

Great experience overall!! The hotel is not right next to the main sights, BUT its only a 20 minute walk to Duomo. That is really the only drawback to this hotel. Given the rooms, cleanliness, friendly staff, free breakfast, lower price, and overall experience, we did not find it a problem making the longer walk and thought it was a great choice. We were greeted nicely when we checked in. We were given a map with directions to all the major sites. We were told about the bus line (and if you are worried about the walk the bus was really cheap- i think 1.20 euro-and they sold tickets to you at the hotel! It also stopped right around the corner. On our last day we opted for this bus rather than walk because we had our luggage. The room has a great A/C, big new shower, comfortable bed and large flat screen tv. Honestly, we spent two weeks in italy- stayed in two other hotels- and this was probably the best deal we had. Great price for what you get! Oh and the staff helped us call a taxi one day and the breakfast was good. Tray of croissants, jellies, scrMbled eggs, pastry tray, cereal, fruit, orange juice, milk, coffee. Plenty to get you going. What can I say, my group missed it when we checked out and moved to a new city!!
