About

Hotel Victoria

Hotel Victoria occupies a historic building on Via Nazionale, close to Florence's main train station and the Fortezza da Basso exhibition grounds. It's a small property – 12 rooms – with a 24-hour reception and free Wi-Fi throughout. The style leans on the building's original architecture, giving it more character than a typical chain hotel.

Rooms come in single, double, triple, and quadruple configurations, so it suits both solo travellers and small groups. Amenities include air conditioning, heating, flat-screen TVs, and free toiletries. There's a bar/lounge area on site, plus tours and ticket assistance at the desk. Pets are allowed, and cots are available for families.
