A family run business. Very clean hotel and attentive staff. Only downside was being on the third floor and no lift. Other than that it was a great place to stay. Internet worked well. Gabriel makes a mean coffee.

2 Brothers running a hotel. We weren’t expecting much from a little hotel in Florence but when we walked in we were greeted by 2 of the nicest hosts we’ve ever come across in our travels. They will make sure you have coffee, they will make sure you have a great day ahead of you. No itinerary? They have a map with all the main spots and are happy to encourage you to see the city. No dinner plans? They know a couple good spots for you to check out. Overall they were kind and warm and made us feel like they wanted us to have a good time. They could be ambassadors and in fact I thought of them as such. The hotel is located next Michelangelo’s childhood home ( 1 for history) While the rooms are small they are clean and comfortable (who stays in bed all day in Florence anyway?) You’re in the heart of the city so anywhere you wanted to go is 20 minutes walking. Unless you want to splurge for a “fancier” hotel because you can, LOOK NO FURTHER. TLDR: Great Location, Even Better Staff

Great small hotel in Florence
Hotel Santa Croce is a fine little hotel in Florence. It is centrally located near everything. The room was small but typical for a small European hotel. The bed was very comfortable and everything you need is provided. It is very clean. The breakfast is simple continental style but more than adequate, and the staff will make you as many delicious cappuccinos as you desire. The staff including owners Mario and Gabriel are wonderful; very accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed our stay there and would not hesitate to stay here again if we returned to Florence.

Absolutely fantastic stay at the Hotel Santa Croce. There wasn’t a request the staff couldn’t help us with. They even brought out breakfast items that were celiac safe which was excellent. The room was small but the hotel is well taken care of. The AC in the room worked excellently. Location location location. Everything you would want to see was within an easy walk.

Great location, clean rooms and kind staff
This hotel is located in the heart of Florence, in walking distance to most of the attractions. Our room was very clean and the breakfast was good. The staff were kind and friendly. On check-in Mario showed us all the attractions around the hotel on a map. We had an issue with our room and Gabriel (sorry if I am not spelling his name correctly) was very kind and was responsive to the issue, they changed our room and refunded that night's fee. We had great few days in Florence in this hotel and left there happy and satisfied.

I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. FIRST IT WAS A HOTEL. THEY SENT ME TO A ROOM IN A NEARBY BUILDING. HORRIBLE OUTSIDE, SCARY STAIRS, OLD AND SMALL ROOM. THEY MAKE YOU THINK YOU ARE BOOKING A HOTEL AND THEY GIVE YOU A SUBSTANDARD ROOM IN A BUILDING. THEY OBLIDGED ME TO REGISTER BEFORE 10PM, IN A HOTEL!!

We cannot understand the meaning of your review. Practically your review means that you have booked without reading a single feature of the accommodation and the conditions of the Hotel that you were booking. If you had been careful to read all the clearly specified details instead of just stopping at the super offer price you grabbed, you wouldn't have been disappointed. We accept constructive criticism but this complaint is attributable only to your fault and no one else's!You've booked a studio apartment in the annex in the building next door (it's written right in the name of the accommodation you've chosen..."Standard Apartment in the ANNEX"...we can't get any clearer than that!) and it measures about 28 square meters. Do you call small it ? It is a very large size for an accommodation in the historic center of Florence, and all the more so for a 2 star Hotel. Among other things, complete with equipped kitchen and table with chairs.We don't force anyone, on the contrary, we have reminded you about something that you should have already known because it is clearly indicated and that is that check-in is possible until 10.30 pm because the reception closes after a while, as clearly indicated online before confirming...and you didn't read this either! Yes, we are a Hotel with a capital H, a Hotel that all Guests appreciate for our warm and hospitality. We are a 2-star Hotel and for law, we have obligation of 12 hours a day, not 24 hours. But we actually do many more, 18-19 hours a day, so we offer a service far superior to our category.You complain about the characteristics of the building which is a 400 year old building in the heart of the Historic Center of Florence, above the remains of the Roman amphitheater and next door to the house where Michelangelo grew up.Next time, read carefully the characteristics of the accommodation you are booking instead of criticizing the honest work of others unnecessarily just for your mistake and your negligence.

Good morning Sara, we are pleased that you appreciated the service of our staff but we cannot understand these heavy words about our property which is a historic building of over 500 years in the heart of the Historic Center of Florence, completely renovated both in the rooms and in the bathrooms and common areas and all spaces have been optimized to take advantage of every corner.The shower cubicle in the room in which you staied is not very large but is made up of a standard 80x70 centimetres shower tray and also all the measures in square meters and the characteristics of the entire room, bathrooms and realistic photos are clearly published online, so we cannot understand this your amazement.We are really sorry not to have satisfied you further but we cannot understand what you expected more and we believe we don't deserve such a disparaging vote.Regards, StaffHotel Santa Croce

Good morning Mark,we are very sorry you didn't get a good impression. We are opened to any kind of criticism but, just for clarification, we remind you that we have both rooms and apartments and you have chosen and booked a 28 square meters studio apartment, a very large space, especially for the historic center of Florence (we are literally 2 steps from the Uffizi Gallery and all the main sites to visit ). We don't know what measures you are used to or expected to find (since they are clearly stated in the online description as well as a realistic photo gallery of both the apartment and the bathroom!) but if you say that 28 square meters studio in the heart of Historical Centre of Florence is a small size...it's really out of place, specially in a 2 stars Hotel. You probably didn't realize our category and are used to completely different canons.And we just can't understand what you mean by spartan since it is a completely renovated apartment but keeping the classic standards, being in a stodic building of the 1.300s.You could have shown this your discontent here and we would have considered together what to do to satisfy you. You always smiled and even at checkout, to our question if everything was ok, you answered yes with a smile.We hope you will come back to our Hotel, so we will make you change your mind about our property.Sincerely,StaffHotel Santa Croce

We stayed in the apartment adjacent to Hotel Santa Croce which was run by the hotel. The staff could not be more helpful and the apartment was very nice overall -- good air conditioning, quiet, clean, and roomy. The hotel and apartment are located in an ideal part of Florence -- just outside of Piazza Santa Croce and 3-8 minutes walk from Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, the Uffizi, etc. Again, the staff -- especially Mario -- were very accommodating and helpful.

Perfect hotel in Florence run by 2 awesome owners
This is a little gem of a place so close to all the main points of interests. It is a very old building that is UNESCO protected and is next to the old building where Michelangelo grew up. It has a decent size room exactly as advertised. Very well maintained and was good enough for the family of 4. Beds were very comfortable and the rooms were promptly made up every day. WE stayed here a total of 4 nights. August 1st through August 5th 2019. Mario & Gabriel are the two brothers that run this place and are amazing. There love for what they do and the attention and care for the customers shows in everything at the hotel. The breakfast area is small but the happiness with which it is served makes your day great right from the beginning. This place is so close to one of the best Gelato places (Vivoli). Some great restaurants are just steps away. Santa croce church, Uffizi gallery are withing 3-5 minutes walking from the hotel. We had an incident where we thought that we left our phone in a taxi. This was on a Sunday night when Gabriel & Mario were both off and were with their families. Despite that Gabriel was so nice to take my call and work with the Cab companies to identify the particular cab driver. Although we later located the phone through someone who found it outside the hotel, we were very impressed by Gabriel's help through the process. I have no issues recommending this place to anyone visiting Florence and looking for a reasonably priced Hotel. .

This hotel was very old. Had no elevator. The only ac was a wall unit that you had to turn off when leaving the room. We did not stay even one night. No ac in the building and very small rooms. I dont know how they are rated three stars on expedia as this hotel is not what they represent online. Very disappointed.

Instead of criticizing and denigrating the honest work of others, be careful when you book since you are convinced to book a 3, 4 star hotel while in reality you have booked a 2 star hotel, as clearly specified everywhere. So be careful next time, to avoid accusing others who are not at fault but only for your mistake and for your distraction. We are a very appreciated 2-star hotel in Florence and most of our Guests consider us to be of a superior category (as demonstrated by the thousands of highly positive reviews), but if you don't even know what you are booking, it's obvious that you will never be satisfied.

This is a unique small Hotel, extremely old and gives you a trip back in time as to how hotels used to be before mass tourism. There is no lift and I was on the 3rd floor so plenty of steps but I had help with my bag from the lovely staff who are very attentive at all times. There is always someone on reception and there to help if you need it. As a female travelling on her own I felt very at ease here. The breakfast was continental and I enjoyed fruit, yoghurt and croissants along with a choice of coffee each day. There is also a fridge at reception with a choice of welcome cold drinks particularly as when I was there the temperature reached 40 degrees. The rooms are small but what more do you need than a comfortable bed, air conditioning a clean bathroom and wifi. I would certainly recommend this as a place to stay for those who do not want the trappings of modern tourism. The hotel is only 100 meters from Piazza della Signoria, The Uffizi Gallery and Piazza Santa Croce, it is close to both to the Duomo and to the Ponte Vecchio bridge. I will most certainly stay here again when I visit Florence.

Good Morning Mr. Aidan, thank you for advising us to other future Guests but we cannot understand your complaints. Just for clarification, we remind you that you need to pay more attention during the booking process as all the details of the rooms and the structure are clearly specified. You have booked a single room with a single bed and we have offered you a double room with a double bed for the same price and you talk about small rooms despite the square meters and all other features are clearly indicated before confirming the booking. We can't understand what kind of space you were expecting. We strongly recommend that you pay attention before booking as everything is clearly defined and we are completely transparent in every detail. Therefore, it is not possible to be more honest than we already are. In this way you will avoid being disappointed by something you should have already known if you read carefully. We thank you again for choosing us and we hope to host you again in the future. Best wishes, Staff Hotel Santa Croce

Excellent small hotel in Firenze, great location
This was a very nice small hotel, in a great location. The staff were super helpful,the beds were really comfortable and the breakfast was even better than average. One of the best small hotels we’ve stayed in in Italy, actually the best. Only small negative was we were on the top floor, no lift but it did us good.

Staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to accommodate us. Breakfast options were excellent. Hotel is very old (parts dating to the 600's) and as a result is a lacking some amenities due to its designation as a historic site. The lack of elevator can be problematic if you have heavy luggage to cart to the fourth floor. Typical small rooms and bathrooms, but clean.
