Hotel Alessandra

From the very first moment of being welcomed by Monti we had a great experience at the Hotel Allesandra. Monti showed us the room we had booked as well as several others that were available and we did opt to upgrade to a larger room with a mini-fridge and coffee maker. We were there during a heat wave and the air conditioning was a real plus. The breakfast buffet was good with a variety of breads and pastries, eggs and cheese and prosciutto available. The owners were gracious and welcoming and helped us book taxis and answered questions. The location is great! All major attractions are within walking distance and the Ponte Vecchio is super close. My only caution is that this is not well suited to people with physical handicaps as the you have to climb a bit to get to the small elevator.

Desk staff was very helpful and courteous.

This is a wonderful hotel built in 1507 and designed by Michaelangelo. We loved the charm and the neighborhood was perfect. The staff was very kind and helpful. Monti was extremely friendly and fun. We very much enjoyed him and his tales of the history of the hotel. Breakfast was delicious. The staff will offer to make you a special cappuccino if you so desire. Everything is within a few minutes. Very walkable. Monti very clearly described to us how to drive to the hotel and arranged for our car to be taken away and parked nearby. Monti cheered for us for being able to navigate the narrow streets. The hotel has a lift however it is a couple of flights up to access it. We enjoyed our room and were very comfortable. The hotel staff held our bags for us after checkout and even arranged for our car to be moved to a closer garage with a quick and easy escape route from the city when we were ready to leave later that day. The mini bar had cheaply priced drinks and more could be purchased at the reception desk. This just shows the kindness of this particular hotel.

Great family nice people CLEAN!!!
