As you approach Hotel Bavaria to ring the bell, you'll see the buildings of central Florence and even the Duomo off to your left. Enter through a pretty courtyard and hike the two flights of stairs to a true family-run establishment in a 16th-century palazzo. The reception and hallways have wood-paneled ceilings, old scratchy terracotta floors, and creaky antique furniture.

The 17 rooms are relatively large, with bedding in pretty blue brocade and curtains that are endearingly mismatched. The walls are cream-colored and artwork is sparse, but the swirly wrought-iron headboards add some zing. Furniture is a hodge-podge of antiques and antique look-alikes, and some rooms sport enormous original frescos. Amenities are limited to a fan and heat, though free Wi-fi is available. Hotel Bavaria offers rooms with balconies, so ask ahead if you're interested. In proper budget hotel fashion, the cheapest rooms share the bathrooms with other guests.

With a location near the Duomo and a cute family feel, the Hotel Bavaria is a solid Cheapo pick.

Note: The Hotel Bavaria does not have an elevator, and there are lots of stairs.
