“Hotel Alex strikes me as a practical choice for families seeking affordable comfort in Florence. Its location, though not in the bustling historic center, offers a quieter residential atmosphere with convenient tram access. The provision of free parking and an on-site restaurant serving Tuscan cuisine are definite advantages in a city where both are often scarce.”
