Located about a 10-minute walk from Florence's top attractions, the three-star Hotel Mario is a pretty package: a mid-range hotel with all the trimmings. For those who crave creature comforts, even the peak double room rate may be worth it (considering the charm, comfort and convenience). That said, Mario's doubles do start on the low side.

Housed in a 17th-century Renaissance building, the Mario sets an elegant scene with dark wood, arched doors and stained glass. Wood-beamed or vaulted ceilings accent tasteful red-and-gold brocade bedding. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, LCD TVs and complimentary toiletries. Bathrooms are long, narrow, and shiny.

Guests kick off their days in a breakfast room resembling a 14th-century banquet hall, and then pop right outdoors to a vibrant part of the city, where everyone (including actual Florentines) shops. Hotel Mario's is cute, clean and worth the splurge.

Breakfast and Wi-Fi are included, and guests receive an extra perk on arrival—a welcome drink to kick off your stay. Cheers!

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.
