We absolutely loved this hotel. It has some sort of a very good vibe and a cute character to it. The cleanliness was amazing. The staff are very friendly. They served breakfast every day, which was very good. The location of the hotel is also very good, it was only five minutes from the train station and about 10 minutes. Walk from the town center. I highly recommend it and if you go back to Florence, we will stay at the same spot.

Lovely stay at the hotel Alba. Rooms were very spacious and the beds were comfortable. Hotel is located roughly 5 minutes from train station, which is very convenient. It is also no more than maybe 20 minutes to most attractions (by foot). Breakfast in the morning was tasty and all the staff were very friendly. Would definitely stay again!
