    This property is quaint and lovely- the only negative is the tiny luggage lift, but this is normal in many of Italys older buildings.

    Hotel Berna is a boutique hotel located on the 3rd level of the building. It is around the corner from the Firenze SMN railway station and walking distance to all of Florence’s attractions. It is clean & secure and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    I was frustrated with the volume of auto reply emails asking for the same information re tourist tax and passport info. there was never a personal reply from the hotel to say they received my info the first time.

    excellent location, clean, comfortable beds. We only spent one night and they kindly held our bags while we toured the city. If we were spending more time in Florence I would want a bigger space for 3 people.

    I can't think of anything really. For some people not having a 24/7 reception is a problem, but not for us. For most of the day, they were there. But we had to get out and catch a train at like 6AM. We knew there was no reception open that early. We talked to the staff and they gave instructions about were to left the keys on the desk and voilá! Pretty easy. By the way, the owner answers any questions on whatsapp right away. So if there is any problem, I guess she will be there asap to help.

    The staff was really friendly and helpful. Room was 100% clean with all the necessary amenities inside the bathroom (shampoo, soap, really good shower, etc). There was a minibar inside the room, which was a nice surprise. In front and right on the side there are two supermarkets. Right in the corner, a 24/7 Mcdonalds and coffee shops. The location is amazing if you want to walk everywhere. Close to the train station, etc. Nice beds (we stayed in a room for three). I cannot complain.

    The rooms needs to be updated. The furniture is outdated and one of the bathroom tiles were broken.

    The location was really good. Close to the train station, restaurants and grocery store. It was a little bit noisy during the night. So light sleepers might not like this area. The staff is amazing, really helpful and accommodating. The room was really clean.

    the hotel is in a building which has a very, very small elevator that does not inspire confidence and means multiple trips to get more than one person with one suitcase upstairs [like those photos of how many college students can fit into an old telephone booth].

    the location was most convenient for our arrival by train: we were easily able to walk from the train station with all our luggage without needing a taxi, and the hotel is near restaurants for lunch / dinner and very conveniently close to Santa Maria Novella. The room was amazingly comfortable and included a desk for computer users. And the price was very reasonable which is hard to find in the center of Florence. The buffet breakfast was typical and included.

    Great hotel in the center of Florence. The rooms are confortable and the staff was welcoming. We had a room that was facing the street, thus noisy at night and in the early morning. But overall great value for money.

    Hotel is a 5 minute walk from the train station and easy to find. Staff was very welcoming on arrival. We arrived around 9 in the morning and we was aloud to leave our luggage till check in which was in the afternoon. Museums were within walking distance. Room was clean on arrival and also had a fridge. Shower was nice and powerful and warm. Room also had a couple of art pictures which added a nice touch. If I went back to Florence I would stay again

    I can recommend Hotel Berna to anyone looking for a budget accommodation in central Florens!

    This hotel is not suitable for people who have difficulties walking. The hotel reception and rooms are located a few floors up in an old building. A small elevator is available. The neighborhood where the hotel is located feels a little rough (close to a well known railway and bus station).

    Hotel Berna is a very well located budget accommodation alternative if you are looking at discovering the main cultural attractions of Florence by foot. Their staff are very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is good. We particularly appreciated their help in finding a suitable solution to park our car for 2 days.
