The Hotel Medici is one big place, providing 40 acceptable rooms on a palazzo just one block from the Duomo.
Rooms vary in style and quality, but overall, we'd say that the hotel has an old-fashioned, pre-renovation air about it. We're not going to kid you—it isn't fresh and most and the rooms are small and in need of some new paint. Some of the rooms we visited were downright dim.
But wait! There is an upside: 1) Rooms are functional and clean, and 2) prices are way cheap considering the location. It's true, you really are in the center of everything. Not to mention that it's hard to find a €45 double anywhere in the city, much less near the Duomo.
And then there's the view ... The Medici has a gorgeous rooftop terrace with simply breathtaking views high above central Florence. We suggest hanging out up there until you can't keep your eyes open—then retreat to your room. You won't notice a thing! Oh, and many rooms have a view too: Request ahead of time.
