c-hotels Ambasciatori

Four-star three minutes from the station, for anyone tired of dragging bags

Hours: Check-in from 15:00, check-out by 11:00
Per night (approx.): 약 €79~123
Address: Via Luigi Alamanni 3, beside SMN station, Florence

A four-star on Via Alamanni beside SMN that turns up again and again in honeymoon and tour write-ups. Off the train and checked in within three minutes, it suits a one- or two-night stop before moving on. The rooms are showing their age, though, and in peak season prices jump enough that one reviewer called it overpriced for anything but the location. Book it in the shoulder months, for the location alone.
