About

Hotel Duca D'Aosta

Hotel Duca D'Aosta is a modest 2-star property with just eight rooms, located on Via Fiume, a short stroll from Florence's Santa Maria Novella train station. The hotel's real draw is its location: guests consistently praise being able to walk to the Duomo, the central market, and the main shopping streets within minutes. The building has a working lift, and the rooms are kept clean and come with essential comforts like air conditioning, heating, and tea and coffee facilities.

Service is a standout — multiple reviews mention the friendly and helpful staff, and a 24-hour coffee station adds a welcoming touch. The hotel offers practical amenities for a city break: express check-in/out, luggage storage, laundry service, and tour assistance. While the rooms are simple and the property is small, it delivers solid value for travellers who want convenience and reliability over frills. Note that check-in is between 14:00 and 22:00, and check-out is from 08:00 to 10:00.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms are basic — With just eight rooms and a 2-star classification, the accommodations are simple — some guests have found them more hostel-like than hotel-like.
  • Limited dining options — While there is a restaurant on site and in-room breakfast is available, the dining experience may not be a highlight for all guests.
  • Strict check-in and check-out windows — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, and check-out is from 08:00 to 10:00 — not ideal for travellers with very early or late arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel isn't an option as pets are not permitted on the property.

“The rooms are reasonably spacious and well heated, with a comfortable double bed. The location is amazing and incredibly close to downtown Florence.”

8.7Verified guest

“The hotel is brilliant and clean, with a nice design and a good restaurant. The location is marvellous and incredibly central, and it's very close to the train station.”

8.7Verified guest

“I just got back from two weeks in Italy, and this was the worst hotel I stayed at. It's rated 2 stars, but I think it barely passes as a youth hostel. I stayed in the single room (Room 8) for four nights. Pros: the location is very convenient, just 2 minutes from the Santa Maria Novella station and a supermarket down the street. There is a working elevator.”

8.7Verified guest

“The location is ideal, right in front of the main railway station. A supermarket is a 2-minute walk around the corner. The air conditioning worked great in the hot Florentine weather. The elevator on the ground floor meant no lugging heavy luggage upstairs. The staff were very friendly and always helpful. The room came with a balcony and good bathroom fittings.”
