From: SP, USA
Date of Stay: October, 2007
This was the dirtiest hotel I have ever been inside of. The rooms were filthy, the bathrooms disgusting. Bugs abound. I would never advise anyone to stay in this hotel.
 
From: Wojciech Kotlarz, United Kingdom
Date of Stay: August, 2008
Good place to sleep, safe and clean rooms, good continental breakfast, airconditioned rooms, walking distance from attractions.
 
From: Reviewer has requested to be kept anonymous.
Date of Stay: January, 2008
Convenient location. Good breakfast. Helpful with lost passport.
 
From: LU, Italy
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Our room was quite poor: dirty floor and walls, and too little bathroom. However the public area is big and the breakfast great.
 
From: Alexander Robinson, United States
Date of Stay: January, 2008
The Castri Hotel was in a great location very close to the SMN train station. The room was spatious (triple) and the staff was fairly helpful. It is still within walking distance to all the main sights around the river, but it does take about 10-15 minutes.
 
From: IRINA ISMAILOVA/SOZZI, Italy
Date of Stay: July, 2007
woas not more worse than this hotel in Venice !
 
From: Tamara Rea, Australia
Date of Stay: January, 2008
Hotel room very basic - worn and tired looking. Location good. 10 min walk to Train and bus station and walking distance to main attractions in Florence. Breakfast offered simple but enough to keep you going for the day. We would stay there again given price and location.
 
From: SD, Denmark
Date of Stay: July, 2007
Very well located at a reasonable price. Friendly service but if you arrive in a private car please note that parking is not included in the price - add approx. 33 EUR a day at garage nearby. However it is Firenze with limited parking areas, so what can you expect!
 
From: Reviewer has requested to be kept anonymous.
Date of Stay: December, 2007
I had read some terrible reviews of this hotel before booking; however, our room was decent and the location is excellent. For the price, the hotel is a good bargain.
 
From: LE, USA
Date of Stay: June, 2007
This hotel was really hard to find-espicially if you have a car and don't know the city well. It was a little older then I thought it would be but it was sufficient. The bathrooms are terribly small also.
 
From: anne scott, Norway
Date of Stay: November, 2007
Excellent service, felt very well looked after. Loved our stay here!
 
From: AP, Italy

If you are not a beatles' fan look for another location!
 
From: Douglas Coles, New Zealand
Date of Stay: October, 2007
A 200 yard walk fron the Santa Maria railway station and close to the Central Market. Very good breakfast facilities and lovely gardens. Self service laundry facilities just around the corner. Reception staff speek English.
 
From: SR, United Kingdom
Date of Stay: June, 2006
Great location. Short walk from the train station and the duomo and very easy to find. A bit expensive but nice room. Get a room facing the garden as its very quiet, nice view of the duomo too
 
From: YM, Italy
Date of Stay: May, 2006
Il rapporto qualita' prezzo ha lasciato desiderare...ma bisogna anche capire che i prezzi a Firenze come a Roma sono così.. La pulizia e' molto scarsa e state attenti: il garage non è di proprieta' dell'albergo. Avete un'altra bella spesa sorpresa da fare..! pazienza..
 
From: Mauro Ibotti, Italy
Date of Stay: April, 2006
A suggestion: ask for a room in the garden-side. It 's less noisy! No problem concerning others aspects, if you don't expect too much.
 
From: Joanne Orchard, United Kingdom
Date of Stay: March, 2006
The hotel caters for school trips and while we were there we had problems around getting breakfast as the children took all available food, and on our last night which was the first night of a new group we were kept awake with children running up and down the hallway and banging on our door and then constantly telephoning our room.
 
From: Philippe Cramer, France
Date of Stay: August, 2005
décoration un peu vieillotte. mériterait une remise à neuf. avons du réclamer du gel douche non remis en place !
 
From: Casey Gann, USA
Date of Stay: June, 2005
Our stay at the Castri was great! The garden is beautiful and very peaceful. Breakfast was good. Service was great. Location was perfect. It was far enough away from major sites that it wasn't terribly loud (esp. with a room on the garden side), but close enough to walk anywhere. Great restaurants close by. Website said that internet is available; this is a little misleading. It is not available at the hotel (unless you use dial-up) but is available around the corner. It was great for the price and an overall great stay. I would go there again.

Everything was fine about this hotel i would stay again
