The two-star Hotel Montreal offers the reliability of a standard hotel with a few charming touches thrown in. It’s well-located on the busy Via della Scala, a few minutes’ walk from Santa Maria Novella and the river.

The Montreal’s 20 guest rooms are furnished with utilitarian, Ikea-esque pieces, while gold-striped wallpaper and rust-and-gold brocades add a touch of elegance. Quads have walls to divide their sleeping areas for extra privacy. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, satellite television and free Wi-Fi.

Most of the bathrooms are modern, with box showers, hair dryers and shiny white sinks. A few older bathrooms have dated fixtures and Italian-style showers without water dividers.

The hotel mixes baroque style with the building’s remaining medieval details. We loved the walls that showcase original stone and etched blocks. The ground-floor bar, where breakfast is served for an additional fee, has a simple, diner feel—with a baroque couch.

Note: Only some of the rooms are non-smoking, and the smell is sometimes noticeable in non-smoking areas.
