Hotel Albani Firenze

10/10 Excellent
"Staff very helpful! Room was ready early which was wonderful since we arrived before the check-in time with all of our luggage. Excellent location - only a few minute walk to the train station. Close to shopping/dining options. Since we travelled to Italy in late September/early October, we found out after the first night that they turn the A/C off at night so our room was a little warm for sleeping. They did offer us a fan to use. Good breakfast options. Loved our stay!"
