You could easily stumble off the train and crash into bed at the cozy Hotel Montreal. Located a few minutes from the train station on the road leading towards the busy Piazza Santa Maria Novella, this little one-star gem offers basic accommodations with lots of space and recently rehabbed bathrooms. We say: Hurray!
A cheery staff greeted us in an adorable lobby, replete with funky maroon leather couches. There's a very small hotel in a big city feeling around here, with a big shiny elevator (attention: it only goes up one floor), narrow hallways, and a seriously retro breakfast room, reminiscent of the 1930s.
The fancy stuff stops right there, but you should feel right at home in the peach colored-rooms with their bright blue carpet, dorm-room style furniture, and lots and lots of space for spreading out. Bathrooms are a lovely surprise, with sparkling white tiles and chunky, block-shaped toilets and bidets.
All in all, Montreal has cool where it counts, space where you want it, and a fabulous location in central Florence. For those looking for value and location, Montreal is an obvious pick.
