If the 17th-century palazzo that houses the three-star Hotel Bretagna was good enough for the King of Holland, Louis Bonaparte, then gosh darn it, it’s good enough for us Cheapos! Centrally located on the Arno River between the Ponte Vecchio and Santa Maria Novella, 18-room Bretagna offers a little bit of royal treatment, with historic charm to boot.

Get your fill of luxury in the reception hall and parlor, which boast chandeliers and river views. The Bretagna's rooms are simpler, some with antique furniture and metal bed frames. Rooms are equipped with useful amenities like air conditioning, heat, Wi-Fi and satellite TV. (Ask ahead if you want a balcony). If you play your cards right and ask in advance, you might even score a Junior Suite with a Jacuzzi tub and a gorgeous river view!

The Hotel Bretagna wins points for its central location and royal trappings. Half of the palazzo is still intact, and you can gaze at it from the breakfast room.

Breakfast is sometimes included in the room rate (check when booking).

Santa Maria Novella

Across the street from the train station, the area around Piazza Santa Maria Novella is perhaps the most varied neighborhood in the city. The somewhat frantic streets leading to the station get a lot of traffic (both automobile and human), while the other side of the grassy Piazza is formed by narrow, serpentine little streets, characterful buildings and top-notch shopping.

The 'hood is bordered by the river, the train station and the shopping street Via Tornabuoni. As such, this area suffers a bit of an identity crisis. One thing is for sure: once you're here, you're no more than ten-minutes away from anything else.

Sleeping near Santa Maria Novella is a no-brainer for travelers looking for quick-and-easy access to the train station at any hour. Booking a hotel in the area's eastern edges places you basically in the center of town.
