Accommodations in Florence are as diverse as the city itself. Florence Italy hotels range from the most luxurious five star resort overlooking the Arno, to the Spartan one star economy hotel next to the train station. Florence Italy hotels (actually, all Italian hotels) are ranked by the government by a star system that goes from one star through five stars. While it would seem like a good idea that they rate each hotel to make it easier to choose, the system is not very consistent and can leave travelers less than content with their selection.

Most of the more expensive hotels will be in the city center near the main attractions while a lot of the more affordable one and two star hotels will be slightly farther out near the Santa Maria Novella train station or in the Oltrarno across the river.
The Oltrarno is a wonderful place to make your base with its amazing restaurants, piazzas and churches.
