“My time at Alba Palace was marked by its exceptional proximity to Florence's main attractions, easily reachable on foot, and a surprisingly quiet atmosphere despite the central setting. The comfort of the rooms, particularly the well-functioning air conditioning and thoughtfully designed split-level spaces, made for a restful stay. Breakfast, though with limited hot choices, was consistently good and the staff's welcoming demeanor added a notable warmth.”

perfect loft room experience!
loft room charming style fresh pastries attentive staff
we were three adults so finding a semi-private shared room proved challenging. this hotel presented a loft room and it was perfect! the room's style was very charming, split over two levels. i found this layout ideal for our needs! the breakfast selection included plenty of fresh pastries. the kitchen staff were attentive each morning!
the bathroom was particularly small and i could hear sounds through the thin walls.

convenient location fast connection helpful staff clean room
The location was convenient! I walked only five minutes from the train station to the hotel. The fast Wi-Fi connection was very helpful, and the staff allowed me to store luggage before check-in. The room was clean and very tidy.
The decor looked slightly outdated, though it was still comfortable.

A diverse breakfast buffet with varied options was available each morning, and the coffee was AMAZING!!! The happy hour in the bar included a complimentary drink during afternoons. Breakfast started slightly earlier than scheduled due to my need to catch a flight home.

Convenient Spot Near Station
train station helpful staff breakfast options
The location really worked for me. It was close to the train station. The staff was very helpful, they are kind. The breakfast included many options. I like drink for free two times per week during happy hour.
The bathroom seemed small. Shower also felt a little too small. I could hear everything through the walls. It was very disturbing .
