Really convenient place to stay , 5 min walk from the train station and everything else is so close, the staff were very friendly, and rooms are very quiet
This place is super convenient if you’re arriving by train. It’s about a 10 min walk or less. Very convenient to walk to almost all attractions and food. We never once needed transportation. Easy check in and room was always clean every morning. Is recommend and stay again if we ever went back!
Excellent hotel with everything you need to explore Florence 10 minute walk from the train station 10 minute walk to all the lovely sites Florence has to offer.
We had a quad room for 3 nights that was more than adequate for 2 adults and 2 teenagers, was cleaned daily and the staff on reception were always cheerful and helpful.

This hotel is conveniently located and hotel staff is very friendly. If you are bringing heavy baggage, be aware that there is no elevator so you must lug your belongings up and down a narrow and stuffy staircase. Room was adequate, bathroom was small.
The staff were awesome at Hotel Spagna. They were knowledgeable and very willing to help. Our room was clean and the bed was comfy. The A/C was nice and cooled the room quickly. The only negative was the cramped bathroom, but i would definitely stay here again.
The entire staff was great the location was perfect but unfortunately the hotel is a little run down, no elevator for bags and having 4 people not very convenient I stayed one night so not to rough for a single night.
Superb location. Step off the tram from the airport, it’s 200m away. Ideally situated for the historical centre, cafes, and restaurants. The staff deserve a special mention - very friendly and welcoming. A point worth mentioning however, there is no lift. This may be an issue for some.
Excellent location and kindly staff, the only I can complain is about the elevator, was not available for 2nd floor and had to carry my heavy luggage

Overhead shower did not work, there was a hole in the bathroom wall and very small bathroom. Great Wi-Fi and shower heat and pressure.

Convenient for walking to most tourist spots. Bed and bathroom both clean. Bathroom has no shelves at all - nowhere for even a toothbrush. No water in room. No cups to use tap water. No breakfast, but nice coffee shop right across the road.

The staff at this hotel is wonderful—very kind, helpful, and genuinely sweet. The location is perfect for travelers arriving by train or anyone who wants to explore a walkable area. Most major sites are within a 15-minute walk, many just 6 minutes away.
Unfortunately, my room fell short in three critical areas: breakfast, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning. The hotel does not offer breakfast at all, despite listings that suggest otherwise—this needs to be updated on the hotel’s website and on Expedia. There is no kitchen or food service, which is important to note for travelers who rely on hotel dining.
I tried to endure the 90°F (32°C) room temperature on the first night, but when the Wi-Fi went down the next day (while the room was still uncomfortably warm), I had to request a room change so I could continue planning my trip. I was relocated from my paid deluxe double to a much smaller single room with a twin bed—half the size in both sleeping space and bathroom.
I’m disappointed that the hotel is refusing to offer any reimbursement—not even partial—for the lack of Wi-Fi, air conditioning, or breakfast, or for the fact that I was downgraded to a significantly smaller room despite having paid for a larger one. The front desk staff deserves five stars; the hotel itself four stars; amenities deserves two.
