I thought it was perfect for the money. Me and my girfriend stayed for 4 nights. We aren't really that interested in staying in luxury - that said its not at all a bad place.

Its pefect for the money and the location is brilliant, its literally a 5 min walk from the train station and shuttle services to both airports.

Everything in Rome is within a 50 minute walk (St Peters being the furthest away). The Coloseum 15mins, Trevi Fountain 25 mins, Pantheon 25 mins, the Jewish Quarter 40 mins.

It is a basic hotel but a very good basic hotel. We got breakfast everyday which was always when we asked for it. Really helpful staff.

I didn't stay at Academy Hostel.
I have been in Plus Hostel...

I'm attending a conference for historical costuming. I'm actually getting there on the 31st and heading North for a few days here and there.

If it's any consolation, I was in Florance in May and had the opportunity to stop in Academy and tour the place. It's a GREAT location. Right next to the Duomo and down the street from the David. Very clean, very friendly, & bright.

I'm from the Dallas / Fort Worth area.

What brings you to Florance?
