Hotels near Hobby Acquario, Florence

If you are coming to Florence (Firenze) via the train, staying at the Hotel Mercure Firenze Centro is a good choice as it is located just about a block away. It maybe a bit tricky to locate it the sign is not very apparent and is somewhat small. It is more visible from across the street. There is also a side entrance .When we were there in July 2022, they had a mandatory appointment time to reserve for the continental breakfast each morning starting at 7a.m. to avoid overcrowding and social distancing. Hotel Mercure Firenze Centro is a very convenient 10 minute walk to the Duomo. The service was very efficient at check in and they were very more than welcome to store our luggage as check in time wasn't until after 4p.m. The rooms are very huge and daily room service was good.

From the moment I checked in, until the moment I checked out, I was thoroughly looked after at the hotel by the friendly and professional staff. Many thanks to Alessandro on Reception and Claudio from the bar for looking after me so well. If you are travelling from the airport, catch the tram to Uscita Place which is a four minute walk to the hotel. Keep to the left when you alight the tram and the hotel is situated opposite United Colours of Benetton on Via Cerretani. The location of the hotel is fabulous as I walked everywhere. I was upgraded to a Superior King Room, which for Italy was very spacious, clean and comfortable. I asked for a room in a quiet area of the hotel and heard no disturbances throughout my stay. The hotel is not very large and very contemporary inside with a good restaurant, bar and lobby area. I had a complimentary cocktail in the bar and all of my soft drinks in the mini bar were also complimentary and unlimited free water as part of my All Accor status. The breakfast was buffet style and had a quality selection of food and drinks, and an excellent selection of pastries, which I walked off every day. I thoroughly recommend this boutique style hotel for your stay in Florence due to its excellent connection links with the airport, it's location for all the local attractions and large rooms for Italian properties.

Few minutes walk from the station past McDonald’s (exit the station from the left). Hotel is set back so can easily be missed. We had a room for three, one double bed and a low camp bed. Rooms made up everyday and towels changed frequently. Wardrobe with plenty of hangers, safe, complimentary water in fridge. I asked if we could have a kettle and this was no problem. Bathroom quite big, shower cubicle with toiletries. Lovely white, big bath towels. Great location for lots of great restaurants and only minutes away from attractions. Rooms are quite warm but there is air con. Breakfast consists of yogurts, fresh fruit, breads, croissants, scrambled eggs and great coffee. Hotel staff are so helpful, even printed out our tickets for one of our trips. Would stay there again, next time exit the train station from the left!

I arrived with my septuagenarian parents on April 27 for a week-long stay. The hotel provided us with the right room classification on arrival, but I was concerned that the suite was single bathroom instead of two and the closet space was not optimal for our needs. Annamaria, Victoria and Samuele stand out as front office staff who listened and acted swiftly to help address our request for help and resolved the issue the next day. That was the first wow moment of our stay. I also recommend the breakfast (came with our reservation package) and you should take advantage of the Rooftop Bar, the view of the Duomo and across the city 360 degress is suberb. After 10+ visits to Florence, this hotel has become my new preferred location and I anticipate returning here in the years to come.

I have stay in this hotel for 3 times , first 2 times they upgrade me to a junior suet but this time they haven't do this. their breakfast is very good, their services is better, they are always helpful. Hope to come back again and they can do better than this time. I will recommend more friends to live here, the room is very comfortable and special. The nice guys is good services and doing very well on everything. Everyday have a different type of food on their breakfast. The services guys always smell with the peoples.

Great hotel that is very well located, its within walking distance of all the most famous places in Florence. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the lobby of the hotel is beautiful. We found the room and the bed in particular very comfortable. The food served in the breakfast is very good. Our only suggestion is to improve the wifi service, the internet was very slow and sometimes it disconnected. Everything else was perfect, we definitely recommend it.

The front office team is outstanding. Didn't manage to get his name, he was on duty on the night(9/7/2024) we checked in. Extremely patience and fed us with info. Alberto who seems to be the front office manager have been very accommodating. Thank you team. Location is great, steps from Firenze S.M.N and to most tourist spots. Will stay at the property if we visit Florence again.

The staff was very professional and everyone spoke English. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The location was good for me because I could walk to everywhere I wanted to visit. Their ”continental breakfast” was good and had a lot of things - yogurt, muffins, eggs, bacon, croissants, and various other things.

Hotel is in a great location and within walking distance of the main attractions. From Florence Airport it is a short ride on the tram and then a few minutes walk to the hotel. Both the train and bus station are also only a few minutes walk away. Hotel staff are excellent - both at reception and in the restaurant. We had the buffet breakfast each morning and all the usual items you would expect to see were there - both hot and cold. We opted for a smaller room which was on the 2nd floor facing out the rear of the hotel There was no exterior noise. Room was good and had a very comfortable bed. The mini bar contained snacks and drinks such as coke, health drinks all of which was free. Our favourite restaurant was a 5 minute walk - Antica Trattoria Il Giardino dal 1939 located at 61 Via della Scala. Tip - they offered discounts for certain time bookings online. Food and service excellent.

Book a triple room, the room has a sofa bed, European-style decoration, very suitable for the style of this place in Florence, the hotel is also fully equipped. The hotel has a good breakfast, especially like the open-air rooftop restaurant, and breakfast is also a pleasure. The location of the hotel is very good, basically walk.
