 Date of Stay: July, 2006
 Nice, clean hotel. Great value. If the air conditioning doesn't work, then you'll be eaten alive by mosquitoes. Our air conditioner had some issues and they had to give us a plug-in device. Also, they charge for internet use even though an employee told me it was free of charge when I inquired. Having internet access in your hotel room is a nice bonus though!
 
2. From: Centner Carl-Ludwig
 Date of Stay: March, 2006
 Nice place to stay. Friendly stuff and a good price for the service.
 
3. From: Fullarton Frances
 Date of Stay: November, 2005
 Marvellous coffee and lots of it for breakfast. Courteous and helpful staff. Very much enjoyed the stay and would return. No distance from important things to see in Florence. I don't understand those people who implied it was some distance from the centre of things. A flat walk all the way to the Duomo and beyond.
 
4. From: Evans Philip
 Date of Stay: June, 2005
 Rooms very so lovely and clean with good air conditioning. Great to come back to after the heat of the city. Wonderful afternoon tea delivered to the room at small cost. Reception staff so helpful with maps etc. A bit of a walk from the city but worth it.
 
5. From: Jersby Johan
 Date of Stay: October, 2004
 Very nice hotel. Nice 10 minute walk into the central parts of the town. Nice non touristic resturants on the walk into central Florence. Can highly recomend this hotel
 
6. From: Velikovich Mikhail
 Date of Stay: October, 2004
 It is a nice hotel but it is far from the center and requires about 20-25 minutes walking. It's ok in the morning but in the evening after all that sightseeing it's no fun at all. Also it means that you will not come to the hotel for/after lunch for a few minutes break since it means loosing additional 45 minutes on walking. All in all, it's a nice place, rooms are quiet and spacious, breafkast - ok, but I will not stay there again.
 
7. From: Thornberry Margaret
 Date of Stay: October, 2004
 Aside from some problems with mosquitoes--we were on the ground floor and there were no screens--the hotel was fine. It's just blocks from SMN train station on a busy street, but in spite of that we found it quiet..our rooms were in the rear. It's a several blocks walk either way to the Duomo in one direction and the Stibbert Museum in the other, but doable. The Italian modern design is an interesting contrast to the usual. Staff was friendly and helpful.
 
8. From: Lewis Rachel
 Date of Stay: August, 2004
 the hotel La Fortezza is a clean, airy hotel with very friendly and competent staff. there was a problem with our room when we first arrived, so they had booked us into a nearby hotel of a greater star rating and equal price for the night while our room was sorted out. the rooms are simple and modern, well air conditioned and clean. the only gripe was that when you used the shower it resulted in water absolutely everywhere and we had to use our towels to try and mop the floor! other than that, it was lovely; breakfast was adequate for the price, and although situated on the very edge of florence, it was a pleasant walk into the centre. i would highly recommend la fortezza to anyone on a bit of a budget- it is far enough away from the centre to escape the noise and prices, but if you are prepared to walk a bit, then it's excellent for the money.

 The car park is 10 euros per day.
 
10. From: Cope James
 Date of Stay: June, 2004
 Only negative was that the location is not very convenient to the train station -- required a taxi (2 taxis for a party of five).
 
11. From: Bogosian Mary
 Date of Stay: May, 2004
 La Fortezza was way better than I expected. It has been renovated beautifully. The hotel staff were excellent, spoke English, and were very helpful with tips on restaurants and how to get around Florence. The daily "Continental Breakfast" was incredible. Huge selections, very nice new dining area, and the young girl working in the dining area was so nice, sweet and attentive. I highly recommend this hotel. Excellent value for the money.
 
12. From: Romero Fernando
 Date of Stay: May, 2004
 Great hotel. Very Very impressive room, I'd like to stay a little more if I could. Everything is new and clean, all made from a modern design. The breakfast was very nice. Not so close to the main station, but you can go walking (about 15 mim to 20 min).
 
13. From: Lee Oi Ming
 Date of Stay: January, 2004
 the breakfast is cool!!! Interior design is fantastic! Staff is nice. I would stay here again next time when visiting florence! Good place to stay. P.S: The ceiling lamp in the lobby is very good and impressive!

 It's a beautiful hotel well kept and very modern , I will highly recommend this property to my associates in the airline business.

 Date of Stay: July, 2003
 friendly staff,5 minutes walk from down town. for a short term business trip or vacation, La Fortezza is a nice place to stay.
 
16. From: Austin Neil
 Date of Stay: April, 2003
 The disapointment was the lack of general amenities. Considering this was a 3* hotel there was no real public space/bar/restaurant for relaxtion. When you return to the hotel it was basically straight back to the room to sit on the bed there being no seating in the room. Additionally the bathroom was constructed dangerously - the shower at the sloping end of the bath with no anti-slip floor making it dangerous. The bath too small, probably only 4'6" with the taps at one end the outlet at the other - very poor design. Whilst the hotel had obviously invested heavily and in a nouvelle style it just lacked something. The breakfast room had plastic designer tables barely 24" square with 4 seats, just about room for 1. The breakfast/reception and cleaning staff were excellent.
