Hotel Nuova Italia

Very very very very good place in Firenze and very nice system there

First question to ask is how did this place get to be called a hotel. I have seen better equipped and facilities in hostles. We arrived at this "Hotel " and were given our room, once we checked the room I went back to the reception to as if any other rooms were available as this one was terrible. I was told that only 1 other room was available but is was smaller as the beds were placed in a T shape. so I declined the offer. The room we had was quite small with 2 steel beds ( very good mattresses), A piece of furniture that was perhaps got from IKEA 20 years ago with 3 hangers, there was plaster coming of the walls and water stains on the walls (see pics) There was a window but when I opened it there was a shutter that was locked and could not be opened. The bathroom was perhaps the smallest bathroom I've ever encountered, it had a shower but the sliding doors had been removed and replaced with a shower curtain to enable you to turn around in the bathroom, We booked B&B, and the breakfast was perhaps the worst Breakfast I've ever had, it consisted, of a basket with 2 croissants, 2 very small rolls, toast in a bag and something else in a bag, there was no bread of any kind or even a toaster, there was 2 cereals, as well A waitress served you tea and coffee at the counter to take to your table , my wife said the coffee was great, the tea was ok, but I did ask the waitress if I could have a pot of tea as there was tea pots on a shelf behind her, she put hot water into a milk jug added 2 tea bags and handed it to. me. This was the worst hotel with the worst Breakfast I've ever had, and I've travelled all over this world. For what we paid (144euros) a night, it was a very expensive bad hostle.This is not a hotel it's a rather very expensive poor hostel.

The location of this hotel is perfect - a few minutes walk away from the train station and a few minutes away from the Duomo of Florence. Reasonably priced and excellent deal for a solo traveller. Breakfast (croissants and bread rolls with coffee) was included in the price.

Only good think about this hotel is location. Close to Santa Maria train station and also close to city center. Room was not so clean, very loud nights and mornings. Bathroom was uncomfortable also. Price /performance absolutely is not convenient. Not recommended absolutely.

Staff was very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. Location was good and walkable to the train station, making it an excellent choice for a one-day stay.
