Not the prettiest location, but so convenient to train, and easy walking to all major attractions. The very best part was our service . Nadia, specifically, went way above and beyond to be so helpful, as well as friendly and courteous every day. For this reason, I would recommend hotel Berna to friends!!!

The room was nice and clean but really small. Nice view. This is not a hotel it is more like an expensive bed and breakfast, and the breakfast is continental style. The location is great. The checkout is at 10:30 am!!!!!!!!!! Not even noon. Good for one night stay but not worth the almost 400 dollars a I paid for the night. We were 4, two adults and two kids and could barely fit in the room.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Berna. We chose the location based on proximity to the train and our guided tours while in Florence. Both were extremely close by which was helpful. The hotel was a tad difficult to find (small plaque on the building) and the elevator was tiny and not much use. The room for four was very small and the area is loud at all times of day and night. We used a white noise machine to try and cancel out while sleeping. Staff were extremely kind and helpful.

Stayed in Florence for 3 days and the Hotel was within short walking distance to the Duomo, train station, and many tasty restaurants. The room itself was good for the amount of days staying there, we really enjoyed having the option of logging into Netflix because we like to sleep with the TV on. Nadia was very helpful, friendly, and pleasant to be around. It was convenient having breakfast right in the hotel for €8 and it wasn’t bad, it was the right amount of food. Overall, my husband and I enjoyed our stay.

Excellent location, value and service!
We only stayed 2 days in Florence so a central location was critical. This was a great location especially for a last minute booking! Other than some traffic restrictions that we didn’t understand there were no issues. The hotel called the local authorities and had the fines removed, and even sent us documents for proof, beyond excellent service! We even received a friendly “bravo” for sleeping late and enjoying actually being on vacation!

?!@!
We were there for 2 nights. The 1st night AC was almost not working and the summer heat in Italy has started. Terrifying summer heat. The next morning, there WAS NO ELECTRICITY. We needed to bathe because of the sticky feeling from the night before. But I think our AC was not really working in the first place because when we got home the next day from our day tour, the cover of the AC was not there. It really looked like it was inspected. And lo and behold, there was a fan left in the room. It was so hot, we were given A fan to replace the AC that we paid for and the heat was terrible. Our body was sore from so much sweating. We joined our tour without the benefit of a refreshing shower because how could we? It was sooo dark in the bathroom? If not for the beauty of Italy I would rage hell. I think we deserve to be reimbursed from this trip. Just saying. We were just glad we were leaving on the third day.

Es ist ein schönes, kleines neu renoviertes Hotel mit 9 Zi. In einem Altbau. Betten fest aber bequem. super gelegen an der Altstadt und neben Bahnhof. Perfekt um die Altstadt zu besuchen, Dom , Uffizien etc. Auf Wunsch für ca 8 Euro Frühstück. Parkplatz 35 € 24 Std. vis a vis in Innenhof. Alles war prima, kleines Manko die Zimmer sind sehr Ringhörig zum Flur, man hört jedes Gespräch und Geräusch. Bei unserem 2 -tägigen Aufenthalt war morgens zwischen 6-7 unten im Hinterhof lauter Lärm, ev wurde Ware abgeladen vom Supermarkt unten drin oder Arbeiter mit Schubkarren?? Würden jedoch auch sofort wieder kommen. Personal super Hilfsbereit und sehr nett.!! Vielen Dank!!!

駅から徒歩5分程と近いです。駅からホテルの間にファストフード店やスーパーがあります。部屋にもよると思いますが、私達の部屋はフロントデスクのある建物とは違う建物にあり、スタッフさんが案内してくれ丁寧に説明してくれました。建物の出入口、エレベーター、階段の出入口、ホテルの部屋共有出入口、宿泊する部屋のドアと5つの鍵が必要で、面倒ではありますがセキュリティはきちんとしていると感じました。部屋は十分な広さでした。ミニキッチンにはポット、電磁調理器(しかし、調理器具や食器はありません)冷蔵庫がありました。フロントデスクのある建物のエレベーターはとても小さくて人一人とスーツケース1つ位しか乗りません。

Muy buen hotel
La habitacion que reserve se encontraba en el edificio principal del hotel, pero como el edificio estaba en reparaciones, me dieron uno mucho mejor en el edificio de al lado. Muy lindo, totalmente reciclado y moderno, espacioso, muy seguro. La ubicacion del hotel es perfecta, esta a 150 metros de la estacion de trenes Sta Lucia. Y queda muy cerca de todos los lugares de interes turistico ( no hizo falta tomar ningun transporte). Hay muchos lugares para almorzar y del precio y calidad que uno prefiera. El hotel cuenta con ascensor (muy importante). La chica que nos atendio muy amable, y atenta a los detalles.
