Hotel Scoti Florence
Let me start by saying WOW great location. This pensionne was only a 10 min walk from the Florence railway station, and situated on one of the most fashionable streets in Florence. Infact the hotel was right above the Prada and Gucci showrooms. Most importantly, the city sights are all 5 min walk away from this location, great for quick trips to the Duomo, or bridges across the Arno.
The room although small and smelly at first, was clean, with clean sheets, and large windows which one could open and bask in the warm Italian sun. The bathroom was huge and very modern, clean and completely functional. There was a phone line in the room which one could use to receive and make calls, and call the hotel staff for anything (front desk was non-existant). We got keys to all the doors to the building, hotel and rooms, making it easy for us to come and go as we please.
Anything negative, this hotel made up in their hospitality, the owner “Doreen” was absolutely amazing, she provided us with comfort and service to make us feel right at home, I was provided with a hair dryer, and plastic cutlery and plates within minutes of calling. She was more than willing to let us settle our bill the night before, as we were leaving super early in the morning, as well, we were able to easily split the hotel bill on two credit cards. The only negative thing i can think of is when we booked we were made to undertand that breakfast was complimentary, however upon getting there were were informed that in fact it cost 5€ each and started only at 8:30. The hotel staff seriously apologized for this error and promised to correct it with the booking agency.
All in all, I was very happy and content with my stay here, and will definitely be staying here again when in Florence.
