Castello di Albola

The hotel is just off from the buzzing city street and night time can be noisy. You really need ear plugs to be able to have a good night sleep. The location is right near Uffizi Gallery and walkable to everywhere. One thing lucking about the hotel is that there is no kettle and there are no facilities to have hot drinks in the room, which was disappointed. The hotel room is very clean and spacious. The shower time can be a tricky; the hot water is supplied by a tank water system. If one person has shower evern a quick one, next person gets a warm cold shower.... so its best to think who gets shower first or timing between if you are staying more than 2 people. Breakfast is very basic and average, not funcy. I personally don't think this hotel classes as 4 stars, it's rather 3 stars. Be prepare to pay for a city tax on your arrival in cash. We didn't know (there was a note in the details but it was easily missed as it was wrtten in the hiding and expanding sections) and luckily we had cash with us, it was a very surprise cahrge and it wasn't cheap.

Hotel is very clean and upgraded room to Jr. suite . Stuff is very nice and helpful

The room lacked counter space especially in the bathroom where there was none. There were only two outlets in the room that you could use for charging electronics. The lobby was very inviting and well appointed as was the breakfast room. The breakfast was exceptional with a huge variety of eats to choose from. The staff is very pleasant.
