    The location was great. It was about 4min walking from the Tram Station Unitá, and above a really nice bar that served some delightful aperitivo. The staff was always really nice, and they kept my bags in the last day after my check-out. I stayed in a room with personal bathroom, and it was all very clean and functional. The room was spatious and comfortable, and the noise cancelling was almost 100%. It certainly kept away most of the noise from the busy street. Another nice touch: it was rather cold for most of the weekend, so the heating was turned on in the bathroom, so I never was cold while taking a shower. Overall, I think it was really worth it, and a great value-quality choice.

    The location of this place is possibly the best location one could have hoped for in Florence. And the woman at the reception was super friendly and nice which made us feel comfortable at the place.

    Nothing, it was great

    Lovely staff, feels far warmer and full of character than normal hotels. The room was very pretty and the location was nice too. The staff all spoke good English too which is always relieving for those who don’t speak the local language.

    The WiFi was patchy at best which was disappointing but the stay overall was still extremely pleasant. Worth noting that the city tax was asked for in cash only!

    The location was fabulous and the room wonderfully comfortable

    The furniture was a little bit old and worn, and also the sink and taps in the bedroom too. But for the price and location, you can't really complain. There was a bit of noise from the bars and restaurants downstairs but that's part and parcel of the atmosphere of these small Italian streets.

    The location was great, the staff were friendly, the beds were comfortable, the room temperature was fine. It was a cosy place.

    - The hairdryer is awful, I had to spend around an hour to more or less make my hair dry. - Ventilation in bathroom switched on automatically after turning on the light and was working and making noise for some time after switching it off. It will not let you sleep if you will use it in the night time. But I used light near the mirror so could avoid that noise. - I didn't have problem with noise from the streets in the evening but in the morning it was not possible to sleep. But it's not a fault of the hotel - they made everything they could. Windows are very good. It's because of the central location. - There is a common toilet or bathroom on the floor, so you will hear how people visit it. - It would be nice to have 2 big towels - for body and hair, I had one big and one very small and thin.

    - central location close to all main attractions - facilities are quite old but everything is very clean - I got a better room than I booked - large and with great view - Good internet connection - shampoo and soap are provided

    The check out time is at 10.30am which is quite early.

    Cosy little room with basic amenities (including a working mini fridge and hair dryer) and a nice view of the street.

    Due to the location , it was very noisy if the windows remain open. They had triple glass, so complete silent if all was closed. But if anyone has mild claustrophobia, it can be a problem. It was resolved with a fan, supplied by the hotel staff.

    Hotel was very central and close to train station. There were several pubs and restaurants around. This review is for a 2* hotel. So bearing in mind this, the room was good. Not luxurious, basic, but the mattresses were excellent and the room was a good size.

    The room is directly on a busy tourist street. However when the windows are closed you don't hear any noise(very good isolated windows). Location to the central station, Duomo and Galleria Academia is in walking distance from the hotel. The lady at the reception was very very very friendly and explained everything nicely. She is a sweetheart. The shared bathroom was always clean and tidy. You are allowed to leave your baggage free of charge at the hotel after check-out untill 17:00.

    The decor is dated but that isn’t much of an issue.

    Charming but dated, Hotel Lorena, is well situated near all the sites and great restaurants and shopping. We loved the view of the Duomo from our top floor room.

    Facilities listed in booking.com said it had air conditioning however, it was not ON. We did not need it as it was not that hot. But we had booked this expecting that there will be AC as mentioned in the advertisement

    Central location - very close (walking distance) to the main attractions in florence. Very friendly staff, spacious rooms and excellent location with a lot of food and drinks available nearby. The rooms were exteremely tidy and overall it was a comfortable stay. Luggage storage option was available which helped us immensely to travel around Florence without the worry of our bags. I will recommend this to my friends.

    Room was very basic but you get what you pay for and for a 2 star hotel in the middle of Florence it was a good deal. This place has a strange requirement that you have to leave your keys at the desk when you go out, which was a bit annoying.

    Great central location. Pretty comfy bed. Windows that open to let in the air but which are quite good at muffling they very busy street below when closed.
