2 star Hotels in Santa Croce

This is a great place to stay very reasonably especially if you want to explore Florence on foot. I stayed here 6 nights in mid-February. The rooms are comfortable but you won't want to stay in when you have Florence to see. I was traveling alone and felt very safe walking from here to the Piazza della Signoria to watch all the action take place at night and stand amongst the statues. Mario was patient and answered all my questions about where to go, how to get there, and helped to book a tour and investigate going to the opera. The breakfast was good - cappuccino, croissants, yogurt, juices, cereal, etc. There is a safe in the room to store your valuables. I was on the 3rd floor and had to walk up but am always looking for exercise while traveling to burn off the gelato and chianti!

We stayed at the Hotel Bologna for four nights recently. This hotel may not be in the centre of Florence but it is comfortably within walking distance. The staff are very helpful and always ready to recommend restaurants,arrange trips and phone for taxis amongst other things. The breakfast is delicious (chocolate croissants!!) and there is plenty of choice including meats, eggs, tomatoes etc. as well as the usual juices, yoghourts, cereals, breads and spreads. In our room the beds were very comfortable and we slept well apart from the odd time that other guests made noise going past. The bathroom is quite small but everything works and is more than adequate. All in all a delightful stay in a very beautiful city

I'd asked in my booking for gluten free breakfast and when arrived was overwhelmed by the effort the staff had gone to for me. i was provided with a basket of gluten free goodies for breakfast, a list of local restaurants that could cater for gluten free diet and they had consulted with a local chef. i've never had such great treatment! the hotel is basic, but very clean and nicely decorated. the room was much bigger than expected and a fridge in the room was really handy. staff were very helpful and friendly. it's about a 15 minute walk to main florence and is just off the river. it's in a nice area nearby good restaurants, shops and supermarket.

The staff members were amazing. Very helpful and friendly! They offered fantastic recommendations for dining and delicious gelato afterwards. The breakfast was amazing and you had the choice of eating indoors or on their terrace which has a great view of the Duomo. The hotel was a bit hard to find (top floor of the building). The room was very clean but the bed was a bit hard for my taste. The A/C was fabulous after a long day of sightseeing and the view was very relaxing. Only surprise was finding out the bathroom was also the shower stall but that could be common in a small European hotel.
