This location in Florence made it easy to access trains, the main square and the River. All our amazing restaurant options were within 5 min. The staff cooked a full breakfast with a positive attitude. My college age son and I had an amazing time.

Close to train able to walk in a few minutes. Busy street quaint with many restaurants. Small hotel with 10 rooms on 3 rd floor of a building. Blends in with the facade of nearby stores and places to stay.

This was great for a family of 4. Breakfast was fresh, lots of choice and as much as you wanted. The room was clean and spacious, nice view to Florence houses around. Convenient to the train station and sights.

Hotel La Scala was great. An older Italian building with a cool metal gate inside the main door really makes it feel like Italy. The walls are thin and during the day you can hear the chatter from the dining area but it’s honestly not bad cause you’ll be up and out in Florence. The staff was amazing and friendly, you have a kettle and amenities in your room, the shower set up is a bit weird with the billable glass walls but it’s fine. The breakfast every morning is included and is great. Cooked fresh and the staff who make it are very friendly. The location is great, walkable anywhere you need to go and close to the train station. I stayed here 3 nights and would highly recommend it.

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
