About
Hotel Savonarola - Florence
Hotel Savonarola is a no-frills 2-star property set on Viale Giacomo Matteotti, about 0.9 km from Piazza del Duomo. It offers free Wi-Fi throughout, a lift, and a car park — a practical combination for travellers who want to be within walking distance of Florence's historic core without paying central prices.
The hotel positions itself as a budget option, yet guests frequently mention the friendly and helpful staff who speak good English and offer sightseeing advice. Rooms are described as functional and clean, with common areas that suit those open to a more hostel-like experience.
With check-in available until 23:59 and a 24-hour reception, it caters well to late arrivals. The location is a trade-off: not in the thick of the tourist crowds, but close enough to reach the major sites in under 20 minutes on foot.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Central enough for sightseeing — At 0.9 km from Piazza del Duomo, guests can reach most major sites in under 20 minutes on foot, making it a convenient base without the premium price tag.
- Welcoming and helpful staff — Multiple reviews highlight the front desk team's fluency in English and their willingness to provide sightseeing advice, which adds a personal touch.
- Clean and functional rooms — Rooms are described as clean with fresh towels and sheets, and air conditioning is available — a comfort that's not always expected at this level.
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Breakfast doesn't impress — One guest directly criticised the breakfast, and it's not listed among the hotel's amenities, suggesting it may be basic or limited.
- Not in the heart of the action — The hotel sits on the outskirts of Florence's historic centre, so some may find the walk to major sights a bit longer than staying closer to the Duomo.
- Limited on-site amenities — Beyond Wi-Fi and 24-hour reception, the hotel offers no restaurant, gym, or other extras — a trade-off for the budget price.

7.9Verified guest“The location and 24-hour reception were ideal for the price. Good value for being so close to the centre.”
7.9Verified guest“Perfect spot — about a 15-minute stroll to the heart of Florence. Every staff member spoke great English and was happy to suggest sightseeing ideas. The room was practical, with fresh towels and sheets, and free Wi-Fi worked in the shared areas. I'd happily stay here again.”
7.9Verified guest“Breakfast was the weak point.”
7.9Verified guest“I was initially cautious about the 'budget hotel' tag, but the team was incredibly accommodating and our room was spotless. The air conditioning and free Wi-Fi were big bonuses. Florence is compact, so despite being slightly on the edge of things, it's less than a 20-minute walk to all the main attractions. We weren't backpackers, but the large common areas would suit that crowd well. Overall, excellent value for money — I'd recommend it without hesitation.”
