The hotel is in a good location near the train station and within 5-10 minutes walk to the Mercato Centrale and the Duomo. The rooms are small but clean. However, it is noisy.

If you are at all sensitive to noise, then it is very important that you get a room in the back of the hotel. We stayed in the front and the traffic and other street noise was very loud. I had earplugs and it was still difficult to sleep (I have spent hundreds of nights in hotel rooms around the world for business and leisure travel so I do have some good comparisons).

I asked to change rooms (or even hotels) and the staff were not very sympathetic saying that it is a 'city hotel' and that they would charge me a cancelation fee if I moved hotels (48 hour cancelation policy).

Had a wonderful 2 nights in Hotel Caravaggio. This has to be one of the best small hotels I have ever encountered in a European city. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely. Our room was spotless. Location was great - 5 min walk from train station, 10 minutes from shops and sights. What a bargain - highly recommended.

Although this hotel can be a bit hard to find.. (we highly recommend taking your GPS).. it is a great little hotel. The rooms were very clean, the beds were comfortable.. it has very good air conditioning. The bathrooms are a good size and very clean.

This hotel has a small cafe, with seating outside, really nice for a cup of espresso. They also have great views of the Duomo. Although, you may not get all the convienences of a large hotel chain, you really feel like you're getting an authentic italian experience at Hotel Caravaggio.

This hotel is within walking distance of almost all the major attractions. Although I highly recommend renting a scooter.. fyi, you can rent scooters online before your trip, if you don't and you're travelling during the busy time, you might be out of luck.

My husband and I highly recommend this hotel.

We got a wonderful price for three nights at the Hotel Caravaggio (less than whatwe paid for 1 or 2 nights in other cities). Our room was in the front of the hotel, but the noise at night was minimal. By morning we did hear the traffic, but we wanted to get up anyway--no use sleeping in while in Florence! Room was a decent size and clean. The breakfast was very good with plenty to choose from. Location was fine. Short walk to all attractions. We had a car we had to park in the garage and it cost us 25 Euros a night, but we were glad we had the car to visit some of the hill towns.
