This was an exceptional middle of the Price hotel. Staff was super friendly and helpful, the breakfast was exceptional, the room was very clean. They had a nice courtyard area to have a drink and a great rooftop restaurant with one of the most amazing views. The bathroom was small, but Iā€™m seeing that is to be expected visiting Italy. The location was perfect for us, 10 minute walk to the main train station, which will take you everywhere.

Loved everything about the beautiful Croce di Malta. My room with a balcony was exceptonal with a beautiful outlook. Hotel staff without exception were helpful, friendly and professional. They went out of their way to find me a room for one night that I was unable to book online, meaning I didn't have to move. Tje rooftop bar had a stunning view over Florence & the pool was lovely to return to after a day of sightseeing & walking. I would most definitely stay at the Croce di Malta again. H

Nice hotel close to all of the main attractions. Located very close to the train station. Hotel staff all very nice. Room was simple but more than enough. Air conditioning was working very well. If you want to be located right in the action you could stay a little closer to the Duomo but this hotel was very nice overall

Seven-minute walk from the main train station, and within walking distance to several major tourist attractions in Florence, the location of this property is ideal. Front desk staff always greet you with smile. Room we had is loft style. While comfortable, the decor and finish are fairly basic. Outdoor pool is not heated so it might not be suitable to swim in when outdoor temperature dips. Maintenance around the pool area is poor with dirty (some even broken)lounge chairs. Breakfast on the other hand is impressive, even comparable to some of the 5 star hotels we stayed. Enjoyed our stay in general. Wish the maintenance of public areas such as pool and the rooftop terrace could be kept up.

Look no further...book your Florence adventure with a room at Croce Di Malta! Centrally located to the Duomo [~3-4 blocks...be sure to check it out at night from the roof top bar! ], easy walk to most other museums/sites/restaurants, you can even walk from the Santa Maria Novella train station! Original room was too warm...no problem! Dani

Everything about the hotel was clean and well maintained. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed with a good bathroom. The breakfast had a wide choice, was excellent and the staff worked extremely hard. Being just a short walk from the bus and tram station made it easy to get to from the airport, but then everywhere we wanted to visit was also an easy walk. Just a perfect location to visit Florence.

We loved our stay at Croce Di Malta, it was our second visit to the hotel, having stayed there 25 years ago and actually got engaged there on the balcony, so it will always have a special place in our hearts. Great city views from the rooftop. Buffet breakfast was delicious and the staff are super polite and helpful. Can't wait to stay there again.
