Aurum Firenze

aurum hotel is strategically in the center of florence, very close to the duomo (cathedral) as well as the shopping district. There's also a lot of restaurants and bar to choose from. the hotel rooms are smallish, but its enough if you intend to just sleep over after a long and exhausting day. the hotel also offer free breakfast on the 5th floor. the breakfast are all cold cuts, cereals and pretty much standard. i just wish they offer scrambled eggs, sausages or bacon. the hotel location is very close to Firenze SMN, its probably a 3-4 min walk from the station. all tourist attractions are walking distance from the hotel.

The room was very dirty. The walls were filthy. The soap holder in the bathroom was broken and lying on the sink, we had to fix it. The blinds in the room were broken and the floors were not vacuumed. The location was great as it was walking distance to several attractions and shopping.

Like I said before, the only thing we saw was the receptionists. Our flight landed at 10:40 pm (we were with 4 years old twins) and when we got there they relocated us to an “ok” hotel. They said that the A/C was not working in the room they had for us. They, however, paid for the taxi but the 5 stars hotel where they sent us was more like a 3! And not as close to the center. Staff was nice but it was very inconvenient!

The only concern is that the AC was not working properly.

The location is excellent, conveniently located near the train station and also close to everything. The room is not big but is function well. Enjoy breakfast at the 5th floor with great view. T Many thanks go to Flavio for his excellent service when my son got food allergy at the market place. Overall, we had an excellent stay at this hotel.
