Was very close to center of Florence. Room was big but a little run down could have been cleaner
Otel güzel fakat resepsiyonun sabahları açık olması alışık olmadığımız bir durum.Biraz fazla yürüyerek merkeze ulaşabilirsiniz.Herşeye rağmen tavsiye ederim.

noisy room & unfriendly staff
Not the friendliest staff, the bed is extremely uncomfortable and the layout of the room doesn’t make too much sense. There is a school wall2wall so you can imagine how noisy the hotel was.
I really enjoyed my stay at the Relais Modern. While the room was basic, it was spacious, clean, it had everything I needed and it was comfortable. The location was also excellent, only a 5min walk to the Accademia Gallery, 10mins to the Duomo and 20mins to everywhere else in the city. There was also a bus stop right outside. It may have not been the most romantic hotel if that’s what you’re after, but for a solo traveller, friends or family trip it was great.
La habitación excelente , ubicación perfecta, solo pondría unas cortinas más gruesas para que en la noche no pase la luz de la calle ya qué hay un faro afuera y la luz pasa totalmente y molesta al intentar dormir
This hotel was simply AMAZING.
Clean and big room and bathroom. Super comfy and quiet. And the staff was so nice and welcoming. The cute little breakfast area was perfect to get your day started.
Easy to access. Close to the city center. We’ll come back! :) grazie mille!
We came as a family of 4 (2 teenagers) and loved our rooms at Relais Modern. The rooms were very clean, spacious, and well air conditioned. Perfect location. About a 10 min walk to Il Duomo and other sites, so we were in a quiet neighbourhood out of the main tourist clog. I would absolutely stay here again.

Location is nice, facilities are bad.
Too bad the lack of a constant employee at the hotel. Reception only works until noon. A tiny hotel. The room and beds were nice but the internet sucks, which was one of the most important things for us to keep the child entertained in the evening and to liaise with our family. It's hard to say breakfast for breakfast. There's only a cake, a cornflex, a jam. Honey was frozen. We're never saturated.
Muy cómodo, el personal muy amable, el desayuno natural riquísimo. Fue la mejor opción!

Great location, hot rooms
The location is great. People at the hotel are very friendly and accommodating but the A/C doesn’t work very well. It was a very hot summer and the room was super hot at night making it difficult to rest
Ótima localização, atendimento, limpeza e cordialidade. Quarto impecável!

Fist off, this property is not conveniently located, and the breakfast was very poor. Basically just cold meats and cheeses. However, the worst part of the entire experience was the hotel’s handling of us having to leave a day early.
The front desk leaves at 1pm, so there is no way of handling issues that may arise. On the morning that we needed to leave, we immediately went to the desk and explained our situation. We were told that it would be no problem, we just needed Expedia to call and okay the refund for the night. However, when Expedia called, the same desk agent told them that he would not allow a refund, and Expedia wanted to escalate it to management. As we left, the front desk assured us that it would be taken care of (did not make sense).
A few days later, we received an email from Expedia stating that no refund could be issued in reference to the cancellation policy. But, the cancellation policy referenced did not match what is listed in the hotel’s website.
I’d stay far away from Relais Modern.

Met our needs, great air conditioning and quiet, a little outside the city center, but nothing great, next time I’m in Florence, I’ll probably look for another place to stay. Check in and check out was very quick and easy.
The rooms were very spacious and squeaky clean. The bed was extremely confortable and large for a stay in Europe. The place is a little far from the train station and the old city of Florence but has plenty of bus stations around to get around the city. If you don’t mind a bit of a walk into town or staying in a larger group, recommended.
