Hotel Albani Firenze

8/10 Good
"The hotel was at a Good location. However, we stayed on the corner of 4th floor. We had to take 3 steps down upon entering the room. We only had a skylight with no actual window on the wall to look outside. The biggest problem was the room was really hot even with the ac on the coolest temperature setting. We had to open the skylight and we were still hot and couldn’t sleep at night."

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Florence hotel. If you're seeking a more distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you find the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but thanks to Florence's excellent public transport options, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there’s often great value for money. Opting for these alternative locations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
