Hotel La Scala was great. An older Italian building with a cool metal gate inside the main door really makes it feel like Italy. The walls are thin and during the day you can hear the chatter from the dining area but it’s honestly not bad cause you’ll be up and out in Florence. The staff was amazing and friendly, you have a kettle and amenities in your room, the shower set up is a bit weird with the billable glass walls but it’s fine. The breakfast every morning is included and is great. Cooked fresh and the staff who make it are very friendly. The location is great, walkable anywhere you need to go and close to the train station. I stayed here 3 nights and would highly recommend it.

We chose Hotel la Scala based on its proximity to the train station. In that, it does not disappoint. Location is wonderful! It is a busy street and we found that it was a rather noisy stay, which came from the road outside our window. The accomodations were comfortable. The complimentary bottles of water and breakfast was much appreciated! Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel for those looking for a comfortable stay near the train station.
