The place was well located, is was close to the train station which we used to get to and leave the city. They start serving breakfast early which is great for any plans. I had a single bed room, which was small (normal in the center) but very comfortable, I had a good sleep the time I was there. Also, I arrived almost one hour earlier to what I had told them and the rooms were already ready.

Proximity to the train station. Good breakfast and clean.
A bit expensive for a 3 star hotel.

I had a great stay at Alba Palace Hotel. The location is perfect—close to all the main attractions but still quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was also a nice bonus with good variety. Overall, a very pleasant stay and I’d definitely recommend it!

Amazing hotel in a great location. Very close to the train station, so you don't have to walk far with your luggage. Room was super clean, breakfast was nice and the staff was super nice and attentive.

It is really a lovely little hotel! The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and the rooms and public areas were well-maintained. It's close to the train station, Santa Maria Novella church, the famous Santa Maria Novella perfumery, and several good places to eat. I will be recommending it to other traveler friends. By the way, I appreciated that there were 2 ways to have coffee in the room: A kettle and instant coffee packets (and tea bags) and a mini espresso machine with pods. And real mugs with saucers and spoons -- I appreciate those little touches.
This is not a big complaint, at all, because I would stay here again happily. However, for me as a hot-natured American, the room was a bit warm and stuffy, even in February. And, since my room overlooked a busy passageway, it was too loud to sleep with the window open. Making things even warmer, the bed had a nice (but warm) memory foam mattress! :) Finally, the bathroom had a heated towel rack -- and most people would love that, but it couldn't be turned off, so the bathroom always felt a bit warm, too. But -- the hotel graciously supplied a fan for my room, which helped a lot.

The location was close to the trains/tram station. Many major tourist sights are within 10-15mins walking distance. There were some very good (traditional) restaurants within walking distance. Travelling alone I felt quite safe walking the streets late at night around the area. Reception is 24hr, so great for early hour check out.
