Hotel is conveniently located five minute walk to train station and ten minutes to Domo, Ponte Vecchio Bridge, major tourist attractions, shops and dining options. Room was well laid out, clean, spacious, comfortable with towel warmer, bidet, mini fridge and good WiFi. Breakfast was excellent with wide variety of pastries, fruits, yogurts, hot / cold items and numerous coffee selections. Staff were friendly, helpful and house cleaning was very good. Hotel was very considerate in providing coffee, biscuits, etc. for pre-dawn flight. Wife enjoyed numerous artwork displays throughout. Highly recommend accommodation and would definitely stay here again

Very clean, nice staff, excellent continental breakfast... however we were placed in a room with an unheated bathrroom and a set of stairs inside our room which we had to use to access the loft area. Since we are older, this meant going up and down freezing cold stairs and using basically a very nice unheated outhouse before scaling all those stairs to the bedroom (which was hard to keep warm with an unheated lower level below.) The website pictures certainly did not show that.

Breakfast variety the best I have ever had at a hotel buffet. Wonderful pastries and scrambled eggs as well as savory and cereals . Held luggage till 8p so simplified the day to tour. Allowed earlier check in at noon and check out 11a. Room renovated. Simple tasteful. The spa looked great. Few blocks from station made it so simple to get transit to Rome and elsewhere to uffizi etc. close to money exchange no fees and fair rate as well as hostels where there are bars. Great for families or groups.elevator and when finished a veranda with views.

Hotel Mia Cara's front desk person when we arrived was fabulous! He was very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable--the beds were hard, which we like, and the pillows were firm. Maid service came every day. Things in the room were not in great condition, and a few things mysteriously broke during our stay (when we weren't there, I think when the maid was cleaning, as it was the shower handle and toilet bowl brush). Construction was happening on the floor below us, so it was loud during the day, and the street outside was very noisy at night due to the bar next door, and early morning, due to people setting up their shops. Breakfast had a wide range of choices, which was a definite perk of staying here! It's close to the train station and walking distance to many desirable locations, especially the Duomo.

Hotel Mia Cara was a welcome stay whilst in Florence (especially as I caught a horrible chest infection travelling to Europe). The staff were extremely helpful and happy to assist with any queries. They offer a laundry service which was GREAT after a week of travelling. Wi-fi in the hotel was great. Lifts on site which was a welcome change. Bed was super comfy too. Room and bathrooms were very clean and spacious - even had a small bar fridge to keep drinks or snacks cool. Air conditioner in room was brilliant. Location of this hotel was perfect, as only a short walk from the train station - trust me, with luggage it makes things ALOT easier - and very close to a lot of tourist spots and places to eat. Breakfast was fantastic - hot and cold options ranging from a variety of egg options, yoghurts, pastries, cereals... They had a bit of everything and was delicious. Would highly recommend Hotel Mia Cara.

The front desk clerk was accommodating and very nice. She offered to help us find a nice restaurant as it was our anniversary. The breakfast offered by the hotel was average. The room was small. Disappointing that in order to get ice, you have to go across the street to a bar. The room temperature was very warm! They have to keep the room between 22-25C. After spending all day in 90+F weather, walk-in 10 miles I really wanted to be able to cool off and not perspire all night long and not sleep well. It is a very convenient location for the train, shopping and dining.
