When we arrived at hote Emma, we found our reservation had NOT been sent to them by Expedia. They had no record of my reservation and they had NO rooms available. Fortunately, Manager found us ONE room at another hotel. It was ONE room all 4 of us had to share I am very disappointed in Expedia and will NEVER book through them again.

Hotel Emma is exactly as described and seen in pictures. Recently renovated so everything is up to part. Great looking rooms, comfortable bed & nice bathroom. Although, is a bit off the city center (30min walking or 12-15min by taxi/bus) it is rather accessible. My family and I enjoyed strolling to/from the city center and merging as much as we can with the locals :)

The hotel was close to Nelson Mandela convection where I was walking every day for 5-7 min. The only thing I could be happier was not carrying my luggage two levels up ground.

Not a bad hotel but quite far from the town centre
A reasonable hotel but it is a good 30/40 minute walk from the centre of town. Not a massive issue if you are fit and capable and only staying for a short time (we stayed for 4 nights). The room and bathroom were clean and tidy and it was pretty comfortable - the only thing that wasn't so good were the mosquitoes. I would recommend taking some decent repellent. Don't expect a big breakfast as part of the package - it is very basic (but the coffee is lovely).

Clean, comfortable and excellent value
My wife and I stayed for 3 nights at Hotel Emma in July 2014. It's a small hotel situated in a relatively quiet area just north of the city centre. It's a 10 minute bus ride from Santa Maria Novella station on the number 11 and 17 buses, which stop right outside the hotel. The bus stop to go back into the city is just around the corner on Viale dei Mille. Our room to be clean and comfortable and had everything that we needed. The air conditioning was very good which was a real bonus given the hot weather. The buffet breakfast was adequate with a selection of cereals, pastries, bread, cold meats, fruit and hot and cold drinks. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only (very) minor negative comments I would make are that firstly the hotel is situated on the second floor of the building and as far as we could see there wasn't a lift. This was not a problem for us but could potentially be for some guests. Also, as the hotel is so small any noise that is made at reception or the dining room can be heard in the nearby rooms. Again though this wasn't a major issue. Overall we enjoyed our experience of Hotel Emma and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Very nice hotel, a bit farther than ideal.
We spent 2 nights at Hotel Emma. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was basic but adequate. Outside patio was nice, beds were comfortable, staff was friendly. Very good value for the price. The only drawback was that it was a bit far from the city center and we had to take a bus into the city (bus picks up and drops off at Santa Maria Novella train station) - however, the bus stop truly was directly in front of the hotel, so this was not too much of a hassle. We enjoyed our stay here and I would stay here again for the price.

Good for the wallet
Very clean hotel. I picked based on reviews of other travelers. It is not close to the main sites, but several bus stops nearby if you don't feel like walking. We did a combination of both - walking and bus. One person said to go to track 12 from the train station, and we did this, but there was no way to get out of the station and had to go back to the main entrance. It is really very close to the train station. It is on the second floor as other reviewers noted, but there are more like 4 flights of steps to go up, so if you are not traveling light, you should keep this in mind. The reception area is secure as are all the rooms. You need to be buzzed in. I liked this and felt it added an additional layer of security. Our room did not have a view, but there was quite a nice outside patio area at the end of the floor. We did not take advantage of this as we were out and about except for sleeping.

Clean comfortable family run hotel
Quiet location about 45 minutes from train station. Good bus service from right outside hotel. Hotel was very clean and well organised. Room was clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was effective. Breakfast room was lovely and bright and breakfast was adequate. There's also a little terrace balcony where you can sit. Staff / owner very helpful. Even got a small gift when we left!

Reasonable
This hotel is reasonably priced just outside the downtown core a short bus ride on bus 11 or 17 from the train station. Rooms are basic but comfortable and breakfast is included. There are only about 10 rooms and owners are very helpful. Not luxury and not slumming it but ok. Close to athletic complexs and pool if required.

Nice but noisy.
The hotel was a good walk from the centre of Florence but we did it for 4 days no problem. The room was nice, very clean and slept 3. Nice bathroom, great shower. Breakfast was lovely. The only downside was the noise. We were in room 9 which was right next to the entrance and reception. You could hear every coming and going and every word of every discussion being held at reception. Would recommend for a short stay but ask for any other room then 9!

I enjoyed my stay here. Good location close to a bus stop. The staff was very nice. The only thing is we couldn't control the AC from our room. I would definitely recommend it, if you need a budget place to stay in Florence

Lovely Owner
Hotel Emma turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to Europe. Though the room was small compared to others, and maybe not so comfortable, the atmosphere and, in particular, the owner/operator made up for any inconvenience. He is just a wonderful man, and made us the best cappuccino for breakfast every morning! If you are looking for a BnB with great value and oozing with charm, this is it!!! We would definitely go back.

Good for a vacation
We stayed in the hotel for a short time. We have seen the willingness for a polite and good service. However it couldn't match or requirements having our breakfast earlier. The wi-fi connection was extremely slow and difficult. Other than that everything was fine.

I love Italy!!!
Stay was nice and pleasant. If you wish to stay away from the city noise, save some money for equally good quality it's best to stay outside of the city center. The hotel is very nice and good value for the price. Next to the hotel there is nice pizzeria (the best I ate during the stay) and also ice cream shop on the main road. Max 10 minutes bus ride from the central station
