Wonderful property. The room was everything we could wish for. It is also centrally located, near the train station, about 25 minutes to the airport and easy walking to the Duomo and Baptistry. The only suggestion I would have is to upgrade the internet. It sometimes was slow and we experienced some drops.
We can easily recommend our room #5

Great spot near train station
We needed a place to stay near the tram station for our last night before flying home. The location was perfect (not far from the train from Rome, and close to the tram to the airport the next day). The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the communication about how to get in/submit our passports was clear and efficient.
The only downside was the steep, narrow final flight of stairs to the apartment.

This property is nisleading from the outside. Once you are in the building from the street it is charming. The lift was very handy. Once inside the actual Apollo Hoyse area it updated and modern. Beds are comfortable area is clean. Coffee service in the room a bonus and the staff friendly and helpful.
I recommend this place uf you are visiting Florence

Checking was easy, we felt very safe and this is a great location. The room was perfectly appointed, but we had a sewer smell both nights. Sunday night into Monday trash truck comes and is very loud, but they provide earplugs for you! Elisa was WONDERFUL, great restaurant recommendations, we were able to leave luggage in secure area by room on check out day for several hours.

A decent size room close to the station and in a very convenient area for restaurants. Getting checked in is a bit of a pain - quite a few messages between the accomodation and me to sort out passport details (required by law), payment of local room tax and finally codes for getting in as their is no reception. So just be aware and don't leave things to the last minute. Florence is expensive so this wasn't bad value compared to other options in the center.

This hotel is really well placed if you’re travelling by train, literally round the corner from the main station in Florence. The rooms are on the 3rd floor but there is a lift if you’re travelling with luggage. The rooms were very spacious and well equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryer and toiletries. There were even a few different bottles of wine in the room with wine glasses priced between €10-€15 which we thought was a really nice touch. Our room had a small balcony too which was lovely to sit on with a drink. The area around the building is pretty busy due to its location to the train station, so you could hear some noise from outside, but it didn’t really affect us. If you’re sensitive to it though I’d recommend bringing earplugs. We’d definitely stay here again.
