We stayed at the apartment room adjacent from the hotel. The room was spacious and in good condition. The staff was always super helpful and welcoming. Great place to stay in the historical center.

Localização do hotel é muito boa, em uma zona bem central da cidade. Quarto confortável, ar condicionado funciona bem. As escadas são um pouco apertada para subir com as malas, mas eles sempre se prontificam a ajudar a subir. A maior dificuldade, que não é só do hotel, mas de Florença em si é em relação ao estacionamento. A zona ztl é bem grande, então você meio que obrigatoriamente tem que colocar em uma garagem paga dentro da região que eles “autenticam” sua placa e permitem a entrada na região. A estadia foi excelente, faltou um pouco de conhecimento da nossa parte em relação a estacionamento, mas o hotel é muito bom.

We had a small apartment in the auxiliary building just steps from the main office. Complete with kitchenette, microwave, kettle and stove top cooking with all necessary dishes and utensils, it met all our needs. The staff were very friendly and truly helpful. We would stay there again without hesitation.

The location is great. The check in process is very thoughtful and caring as they take time to map your location and points of interest. They really compensate for being a 2 star hotel with their customer service. Being in the historic district, they can’t have modern amenities like an elevator and other conveniences. If you’re staying in the heat of the summer, don’t leave your screenless windows open overnight, the mosquitoes will eat you alive.

The hotel is a historic building and gives easy access to all the main attractions, restaurants etc. We had great communication from the hotel and all staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. Shower was smaller than usual, but had good water pressure and maintained a stable temperature. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Florence.

Hotel Santa Croce is a fine little hotel in Florence. It is centrally located near everything. The room was small but typical for a small European hotel. The bed was very comfortable and everything you need is provided. It is very clean. The breakfast is simple continental style but more than adequate, and the staff will make you as many delicious cappuccinos as you desire. The staff including owners Mario and Gabriel are wonderful; very accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed our stay there and would not hesitate to stay here again if we returned to Florence.

This hotel is located in the heart of Florence, in walking distance to most of the attractions. Our room was very clean and the breakfast was good. The staff were kind and friendly. On check-in Mario showed us all the attractions around the hotel on a map. We had an issue with our room and Gabriel (sorry if I am not spelling his name correctly) was very kind and was responsive to the issue, they changed our room and refunded that night's fee. We had great few days in Florence in this hotel and left there happy and satisfied.

This hotel is your chance to stay in a piece of history! The building is old, so expect small rooms, bathroom, stairs, and spotty WiFi. But, it's such a unique experience and the staff are amazing and so helpful. Breakfast was more than enough to get you through the morning. I would definitely stay again!

Positive of this property is location. It’s very close to major attractions. Staff is very friendly. Negative is the size of the room and specifically shower. There was barely any room to turn around while standing in the shower. Not sure if all the showers are like that, we were on the first floor. Another issue was noise. There was lot of noise from the outside street and also from the people running inside the building. Air conditioner wasn’t cooling enough, was shutting off every few minutes. Overall, it was a positive experience with some negative.

Mario and the staff were incredibly accommodating. We were helped from the minute we stepped into the doors of the lobby till we checked out 8 days later. Traveling internationally can be intimidating but Hotel Santa Croce put all the uneasiness I had being in a foreign land with my wife and son to rest. I will return to Italy and I will absolutely stay here again.

The room was small but the hotel is well taken care of. The AC in the room worked excellently. Location location location. Everything you would want to see was within an easy walk. We would go back to Hotel Santa Croce for our next visit!

We really liked the location; it was quieter and less hectic but still close to all the main sites. The staff were lovely and friendly. The concierge sat down with us when we arrived with a map and showed us where the main attractions and several family style restaurants. The breakfast had many options and all the cappuccino you wanted.

2 Brothers running a hotel. We weren’t expecting much from a little hotel in Florence but when we walked in we were greeted by 2 of the nicest hosts we’ve ever come across in our travels. They will make sure you have coffee, they will make sure you have a great day ahead of you. No itinerary? They have a map with all the main spots and are happy to encourage you to see the city. No dinner plans? They know a couple good spots for you to check out. Overall they were kind and warm and made us feel like they wanted us to have a good time. They could be ambassadors and in fact I thought of them as such. The hotel is located next Michelangelo’s childhood home ( 1 for history) While the rooms are small they are clean and comfortable (who stays in bed all day in Florence anyway?) You’re in the heart of the city so anywhere you wanted to go is 20 minutes walking. Unless you want to splurge for a “fancier” hotel because you can, LOOK NO FURTHER. TLDR: Great Location, Even Better Staff

The room was clean and tidy. Shower was smaller than usual, but had good water pressure and maintained a stable temperature. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Florence.

The hotel is built into the old walls of the remains of the Florence coliseum. It’s on a lively alleyway next to the house Michelangelo grew up in and near Santa Croce square. For history lovers and people who like to be comfortably in the thick of things, it’s an excellent place to stay.

Positive of this property is location. It’s very close to major attractions. Staff is very friendly. Negative is the size of the room and specifically shower. There was barely any room to turn around while standing in the shower. Not sure if all the showers are like that, we were on the first floor. Another issue was noise. There was lot of noise from the outside street and also from the people running inside the building. Air conditioner wasn’t cooling enough, was shutting off every few minutes. Overall, it was a positive experience with some negative.

We really liked the location; it was quieter and less hectic but still close to all the main sites. The staff were lovely and friendly. The concierge sat down with us when we arrived with a map and showed us where the main attractions and several family style restaurants. The breakfast had many options and all the cappuccino you wanted.

The staff is very kind. The hotel is older, but very clean. The location is right in the middle of the touristy parts of Florence. The breakfast is basic. We heard no noise the whole time -- it was a peaceful place.

Absolutely fantastic stay at the Hotel Santa Croce. There wasn’t a request the staff couldn’t help us with. They even brought out breakfast items that were celiac safe which was excellent. The room was small but the hotel is well taken care of. The AC in the room worked excellently. Location location location. Everything you would want to see was within an easy walk. We would go back to Hotel Santa Croce for our next visit!

Florens är en underbar stad, hotellet placerad helt underbart, historisk byggnad, står granne med Michelangelo’s bostad. Ligger centralt. Vi var på resan när det var väldigt varmt, och närheten till centrum gör att vi gick till rummet mitt på dagen, duscha av och svalka oss. Personalen är trevlig, alltid på plats, mycket hjälpsam. Frukosten kändes som lite extra med serveringen och uppfyllda önskemål. Glad personal, lätt att prata med.

Hotel Santa Croce is a fine little hotel in Florence. It is centrally located near everything. The room was small but typical for a small European hotel. The bed was very comfortable and everything you need is provided. It is very clean. The breakfast is simple continental style but more than adequate, and the staff will make you as many delicious cappuccinos as you desire. The staff including owners Mario and Gabriel are wonderful; very accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed our stay there and would not hesitate to stay here again if we returned to Florence.

Miguel y Gabriele geniales, el trato buenisimo, siempre atentos y con buen animo, Quiza lo unico que me incomodo.fue la.habitacion para mis expectativas pequeña y sin vista a la calle, el.baño reducido, TV pequeña, quiza por las caracteristicas del edificio , que es muy antaño, pero céntrico lo que lo hace caro para lo que se ofrece, pero se te olvida con la atencion de los propietarios. Su desayuno muy rico

This hotel is located in the heart of Florence, in walking distance to most of the attractions. Our room was very clean and the breakfast was good. The staff were kind and friendly. On check-in Mario showed us all the attractions around the hotel on a map. We had an issue with our room and Gabriel (sorry if I am not spelling his name correctly) was very kind and was responsive to the issue, they changed our room and refunded that night's fee. We had great few days in Florence in this hotel and left there happy and satisfied.
