Hotel Caravaggio

This is a pretty hotel, located in a great area. Nice Bathrooms and fittings. Equidistant between the train station and the Duomo and very good value.

Make sure that you request a room at the back of the hotel, not the front. The hotel is on a busy road junction and bus route (which is convenient) but I found the traffic noise and headlights unbearable in the initial room I was allocated. Fortunately another room was available at the back where I had a peaceful nights sleep. The pillows are the flattest I've ever come across.

The hotel was conveniently located in the city, and though the room was small, it was comfortable, especially the bed. One staff person was particularly kind, and following his recommendations, my grandson and I had a much more lovely time in Florence. The breakfast in the morning was a buffet which was well priced and presented a variety of breads and baked goods, cheeses, meats, fruits, etc., but the best part was the little balcony overlooking the small courtyard of the hotel below and the rooftops of other buildings. I had my zen moments of the day there. Also, the flavored water in the lobby was quite refreshing! Coffee was good too!

I would have liked a small washcloth/face cloth in the bathroom. These did not appear in any of the places I stayed, so I guess they aren't a thing in Italy.

Hotel Caravaggio was very comfortable and in a great location close to the main station, the Central Market (5minutes) and easy walking distance to most of the major sights (Duomo 10m, Uffizi 15m). Everything was so close! I loved looking out my window and seeing no less than five domes/spires/bell towers, including Giotto’s. The lounge/bar area is very nice and this opens through doors out to the garden where you can have a drink. The reception staff were lovely and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again next time in Florence.

8 minute straight walk from airport tram. 10, 20 min walk from monuments. Bus stop right in front if too much walking during the day. I asked for a quiet room, so it was. Amazing breakfast with REAL orange juice. Don't underestimate the pleasure of the real stuff Vs concentrate. Variety of bread, fruit, pastry, cereals, cheeses, meats. Ultra nice staff. The hotel is not a flashy, ultra modern, but I was not looking for a hotel to stay during the day. A nice little backyard. Air conditioning. Clean, with everything I needed. I would stay again.

The hotel was very clean and facilities good. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. Location very handy for station and not too far to walk to sites. The little terrace was great and much appreciated after a hot tiring day.

Our room was adjacent to the breakfast room and the staff were very noisy setting up each morning. It also overlooked the next door restaurants terrace which was very noisy at night and the view from our rooms overlooked their flat metal roof. Not the view of Florence rooftops I dreamed of.

The complimentary drink during the evening was lovely especially in the patio out the back of the hotel. The hotel staff were all very friendly and kind and the room was well looked after and clean.

We were placed right next to the lift which meant we could hear everyne returning to their rooms in the evening and going down to breakfast in the morning as if they were right next to our door. It's difficult because these buildings are old and I'm sure they've done what they can but i think a little more attempt at noise cancellation, if possible, would make this room amazing.

The hotel is located a short walk from the Duomo, and there are several side streets nearby with a great choice of restaurants. Breakfast is taken in a dining room. The concierge staff were very helpful and gave us some good recommendations for lunch and dinner. We had pre-dinner drinks in the garden which was very pleasant. A tip if you are planning to visit any of the galleries - on the first Sunday of each month they are free. We timed our stay perfectly!

Breakfast choices were a little limited but this wasn't a big problem for us. The beds were also a little firm and the shower quite small.

The location is quite convenient—walking distance (~10 mins) from the Central Station and Market, a lot of restaurants (there’s also an annexed cafe to the hotel) and shops nearby, and accessible by public transport (bus stop right across the hotel entrance). The rooms were small but comfortable and quiet. The welcome drinks were also a nice touch.

Not a big deal but that the smoke from cigarettes in the garden tends to come into the lobby seating area.

The staff is very friendly and I liked how the hotel is decorated, especially the Caravaggio print in my room. The location is walking distance to the SMN train station, and near many museums in the town center. There is a nice park across the street.

The pillows were hard.

The facility was clean and staff was friendly. very good breakfast buffet available with gluten free options. Front desk staff for the most part helpful in arranging dinner reservations and calling cabs. nice courtyard to sit and relax. Happy hour and bar service available every evening which was nice touch after long day of sightseeing.

Nothing really stood out that was negative.
