"I enjoyed the traditional Florentine decor at Hotel Alba Palace — each room is unique with antique terracotta floors, arched ceilings and exposed brick walls; the fantastic complimentary breakfast is served in a tranquil atrium with a glass ceiling, and rooms include a flatscreen TV, minibar, desk, Nespresso machine, hairdryer and safe, while bathrooms are small but have great water pressure and twin rooms are available for solo travelers who want to avoid hostels." - Matthew Kepnes
