We chose Hotel la Scala based on its proximity to the train station. In that, it does not disappoint. Location is wonderful! It is a busy street and we found that it was a rather noisy stay, which came from the road outside our window. The accomodations were comfortable. The complimentary bottles of water and breakfast was much appreciated! Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel for those looking for a comfortable stay near the train station.

A beautiful historic building transferred into a small hotel, where the staff are personable and facilities, while a bit different are wonderful to be part of in this city. The hotel manager, Medi was exceptional, friendly and knowledgeable - a rare find in a bustling city

Everything was great especially with Sherry and the other young lady at breakfast. But the elevator being broken didn’t help my 82-yr old father when going up to the 2nd floor.

The room was comfortable. A/C worked very well. The front desk woman was a delight and the gentleman serving breakfast provided great conversation during my meal. Very close to everything! Will stay here again if i come to Florence!

Monica

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Cons: We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. The first time we saw the room was immediately a disappointment, is nothing close to what the pictures show. The room was very small, no natural light, no opportunity to open the outside window. In terms of cleanliness was poor, the smell to detergent, cleaning products and deodorant spray was unbelievable. Our nose started hurting after 5 minutes of being in the room. We asked the manager to look after this and their answer was “I can’t do anything, sorry”. That is no the customer service we expect at a hotel. Be careful about bringing tons of luggage, the property has an elevator but is tiny and very slow, probably you’ll need to take the stairs always. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for families. Just solo travelers and couples. Pros: Good area, close to restaurants, coffee shops, main attractions of the city and the train station.
