My daughter and I stayed at the Hotel Casci for 6 nights in January, and we were delighted with our choice. We are experienced, independent travelers who spend our days out and about, looking at art. The Hotel Casci was the best situated hotel imaginable, just minutes away by foot to all the sights in Florence. Our room was warm, spacious, and very clean and well taken care of, with two comfortable beds and a new bathroom with a large, wonderfully deep bathtub and shower. Best of all was the big breakfast buffet each morning, with lots of fresh fruit (melon, pineapple, clementines, bananas, apples, even lychee), cereals, cakes, breads, meats, cheese, yogurt, and even an egg boiling machine that cooks eggs to your specification. The coffee and cappuccino were delicious and endless.

The hotel is quaintly labyrinthine, in a 15th century palace next door to the Medici Palazzo. It retains the feel of a traditional, family-run pensione while being modern in its conveniences and attitudes. The members of the family speak excellent English, and are warm, welcoming, friendly, helpful, and always present. We felt well taken care of by the staff at Hotel Casci, and we were wonderfully productive in our outings since we were so close to everything!

I stayed at this lovely, family run hotel for three nights recently. The service was fabulous and the position sensational. Very close to Duomo, in fact you can see the baptistry from right in front of the hotel. Also very close to the train station which I walked to, with luggage, when departing Florence. I orginally booked for only a two night stay but decided to stay on an extra night. LIttle problems in the room were fixed immediately when brought to the attention of the super friendly staff. I would definately stay again.

We only got to stay one night but we were very impressed with the staff and the lovely little hotel. Our room was ready even though we were early and on the day we had to leave they stored our luggage happily. The breakfast was yummy and plentiful and the staff were very friendly and helpful. A great location too-only about 200m from the Duomo and close to San Lorenzo market. Also not too far to walk from the station-took about 10 minutes. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and I would highly recommend this as a great budget place to stay.

When we arrived we got a wonderful welcome from the staff. This is a family run hotel, and throughout our stay we received nothing but the very best and friendiest of service, help and advice.
The rooms were comfortable and a good size, though we were unlucky with some rather noisy neighbours for some of our stay. However the beds were very comfortable, and we always had a good night's sleep.

The buffet breakfast each morning was delicious, and served in very pleasant surroundings.

I hope to return to this beautiful city some day. I would be tempted to try a different hotel, however for the location and the price, this hotel is an excellent base to explore, and I would recommend it unreservedly.
