Although the budget-friendly two-star Hotel Fiorita is located steps from the Santa Maria Novella train station, it leaves all the noise and ruckus outside. The views from the gorgeous breakfast room are as attractive as the wonderful rates.

The Fiorita’s 22 rooms feature country-style furniture and sunny color schemes. In-room amenities include air conditioning, minibar and flat-screen TV. Bathrooms are private, and almost all have been renovated. They have gleaming box showers with detachable shower heads.

The Fiorita, which is located on the third floor of an early 20th-century building, has been owned and operated by the same family since the early ‘80s. The hotel retains many of the building’s original architectural features, including the painstakingly restored stained-glass doors.

The window-lined breakfast room is located upstairs, practically on the rooftop (be careful on the old narrow staircase!). It’s an ideal place for enjoying the included breakfast and incredible views.

There is a computer and printer station in the lobby, Wi-Fi is available for free throughout the property and there is an old-school elevator.

1.1km to city center

San Lorenzo

Just northeast of the train station sits one of Florence's most colorful neighborhoods. San Lorenzo is home to much of the city's foreign-born population, many of whom man the stands at the bustling local market. The area is the cheapest place to shop and snack in the center of the city.

Peruse the stands wisely for real leather bags and accessories, and be on the lookout for fakes. The streets around the market are home to kebab stands and Asian markets galore, as well as cheap clothing and shoe shops. (Read our guide to shopping in the city's markets.)

Choosing a hotel in San Lorenzo is a great option, especially for budget travelers, as cheapo options abound. (Seriously, there are apartment buildings that house independent family-run pensions on each floor!) The quick proximity to Florence's train station make it convenient, and the neighborhood's local flavor makes it more interesting (and less touristy) than more central 'hoods.
