Wanda

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The two-star Hotel Wanda could use some updating, but its location on the less-touristy Via Ghibellina (close to the Church of Santa Croce), makes this a sure pick for those wanting cheap rooms with peace and quiet, and surroundings that are definitively day-to-day Florence.

Once inside, the place seems practically soundproof, a far cry from the noise of shoppers downstairs. We give Hotel Wanda more than her two stars for interior design. Seven rooms feature ceramic floors, mirror-inlaid walls and a total hodgepodge of furniture, which include charmingly ridiculous wall-attached headboards. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning and television.

Bathrooms are small, with checkerboard tiles and good, sturdy appliances. Some rooms have private baths. Those that share a bathroom down the hallway have in-room sinks.

While the Wanda’s décor is decidedly loud, the quiet hood should ensure that you'll enjoy a calm, restful night's sleep at this friendly hotel.
