The Best Affordable Hotels in Florence, from Oltrarno to Santo Spirito | Condé Nast Traveler

"A charming three‑star option on buzzing Piazza Santo Spirito, this Renaissance‑era palazzo — formerly the quirky Pensione Bandini — appeals to independent travelers who prefer timeless atmosphere over five‑star services. The lack of on‑site restaurants isn't an issue given the neighborhood's wide dining choices; breakfasts are served buffet‑style in a powder‑blue dining room with classical music, adding to the Edwardian‑novel feel, and the loggia bar offers cocktails, wines, and evening snacks." - Lucrezia Worthington
