“Hotel Astro Mediceo impressed me with its nod to neoclassical style, paired with updated comforts, and I especially like the on-site bistro that focuses on traditional Italian cooking; plus, its location outside the bustling city center is a real advantage. The staff's dedication seems to cultivate a welcoming atmosphere, and the thoughtful touches, such as personalized meal options and bicycle rentals, elevate the experience. In my opinion, it's a solid choice for those seeking a more intimate Florentine experience.”

Really good Hospitality and Convenient Location

friendly staffeasy check-inunresponsive touchscreen

the staff were very friendly and spoke good english. it was very easy to check-in as the needed information was shared beforehand. the staff was very accomodating for our late arrival. i appreciated the good water pressure for the shower.

our room only had two sky lights adjustable with a frequently unresponsive touch screen. it would automatically close if it sensed any rain. on days that are hot with a sprinkle of rain it's very uncomfortable.

Location

8/10

the hotel is a 20 euro taxi fare to the centre, but there are two bus routes available nearby. tramworks are in progress, but upon completion, they will likely enhance the accessibility of the hotel, i believe.

Rooms

Dining
