8/10 Very good

I really overall enjoyed my stay at Hotel la Scala. The room was lovely, the staff were friendly, the breakfast was excellent, and the location was very convenient to both the train station and the sights. I very much appreciated that the room had A/C since it was unseasonably warm during my visit. My one disappointment is that I had booked a room with a lovely large bathtub, but the tub stopper didn't seal properly and I couldn't actually fill the bathtub to use it. I did inform the staff while I was there, so hopefully this can be fixed for future customers. The lighting in the bathroom area also flickered between brighter and dimmer light level. I do not know if it was an issue with the bulb or the fixture.

The hotel is very close to the train station, and all the main attractions are within walking distance. There are also plenty of restaurants right outside the hotel. Both the room and the bathroom were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. The sunny-side-up eggs with runny yolks were fantastic!

Convenient location just a short walk from train station. Turning right out of the hotel and you're quickly in the middle of everything you could wish to see in Florence. We were a family of four in room 8 which worked well, although the shower pressure could have been better. Excellent breakfast and helpful staff. Would highly recommend.

Very nice and helpful staff, good breakfast buffet, great location with Santa Maria Novella and its piazza just around the corner. Spacious, luxurious bathroom and powerful air conditioning. With the old furniture and painted ceiling the ambiance in my room felt very much like an Italian place with history.

The motel room was clean and very comfortable. The staff was courteous and helpful at all times. The breakfast was very good. A suggestion from me to management, as to send a description of how to enter the motel and how the elevator works prior to arrival would’ve been helpful. Especially for foreign visitors. Like the central location. I would stay there again.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The place was spotless clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good but the breakfast room was small (one big table for all guests). The A/C was very noisy and I had to turn it off in the night. The entire technical installationg (door access, elevator, lights) is very poor which, in additon to the noisy A/C, was a major concern. At some point I was unable to turn off the light and head to sleep with a mask. If you operate a light switch its a lottery if the light (and which one) goes on or off. The room was small with little light, a plastic chair and no table. There was a fridge with free water, which was nice.
