My wife and I stayed here during a three day visit to Florence. Location is good with only a short walk to all the main attractions yet near enough to the railway station. The room was clean and although basic, it had everything we needed at a very affordable price. We booked direct and found this was cheapest. The room... more

Just returned from a trip to Florence. Hotel is clean, good location and was a cool haven in the heat. Staff very friendly, excellent venue if arriving by train. We found the location quiet and our room was overlooking the main street. I agree with other reviewers there are plenty of good value places to eat in the immediate area. more

We stayed for 4 nights in Alba. It's in a great location, walking distance from the main train station (turn right and head for the Santa Maria Novella church) and also to the Duomo etc. Rather than trudging around all day looking for decent reasonable restaurants, turn right at the hotel entrance and make your choice from any in the... more

We stayed at the Hotel Alba recently for two nights and found the hotel to be excellent. The location, a 2 minute walk from the train station, is excellent (even though it is a little bit of a walk from the main attractions - but in Florence, everything is close). The staff at the front desk were very helpful and... more

We found this hotel online and it looked ok and seemed quite central. When we got there it surpassed our expectations. The hotel is really central near the main train station and is within easy walking distance of all the attractions in the centre of Florence. Our room was quiet with a view over the central courtyard. The breakfast provided... more

The location of this hotel was perfect. Very close to everything you would want to see. You can walk everywhere. We had the family (quad) room that sleeps 4 people. It was awesome! The bathroom was huge, it was 2 stories with a double on the bottom and two twins on the loft. It had a lovely balcony facing the... more

The Hotel Alba is a fantastic hotel that exceeded our expectations! Very close to the train station and within walking distance of all major sights, the hotel was a great find. We were most impressed with our large room that included an upstairs loft and outside patio. The spa bathroom was extremely well-appointed with features that offered a nice respite... more

The Hotel Alba is small, but charming in a convenience part of town. The rooms were clean, but sparse and the breakfast was certainly passable. What made this hotel special was the service. The front desk staff recommended the best restaurants, the set us up on a great Tuscany day trip that was much more unique and affordable than the... more
