Top hotels in Santa Croce
Plaza Hotel Lucchesi
Wonderful and clean room. Staff were friendly and helpful. 25 minute or less walk to major sites. Was nice to feel at the edge of the city for less noise and view of the river but still walkable to everything.

Aurum Uffizi
This hotel is all about location… close to everything about 10-15 mins by walking. The entrance of the hotel is a bit scary at night time on my personal view. The room is big and clean. Don’t expect much on breakfast … it’s enough for you to start the day.
