Hotel Orcagna
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-23.
This is worth booking if you want a quiet base outside the historic centre with a strong breakfast, and you do not mind a 20-minute walk or short bus ride to the Duomo and Uffizi. Skip it if you prefer to step out the door straight into the old town.

Orcagna suits travellers who value sleep quality and a neighbourhood feel over being in the thick of tourist crowds. It sits in Campo di Marte, a residential pocket outside Florence's restricted traffic zone. Families, couples wanting peace at night, and anyone happy to start the day with a walk or quick bus trip will like it here.
If you want to roll out of bed onto cobblestones beside the Duomo, this is the wrong pick. The Uffizi and cathedral are both around 20 minutes on foot. You will need to plan your return journey after evening dinners; public transport or a taxi will be necessary if you stay out late. Solo travellers on a tight schedule who want to maximise museum time might prefer our Budget choice closer to the centre.
Location and getting to the main sights
The hotel is on Via Orcagna in Campo di Marte, roughly 1.5 kilometres from the David, Florence Cathedral and the Uffizi. Those walking times are straight-line estimates of 19 to 20 minutes; actual pavement routes may take a few minutes longer.
You are outside the limited-traffic zone, which means taxis and ride-hailing apps can drop you at the door. Buses run from the area toward the historic centre; check current routes and times before you travel. For return trips after dark or with tired children, budget for a taxi or confirm the last bus times.
What 2,418 guests say about their stays
The hotel scores 9.1 out of 10 across 2,418 reviews, placing it joint fourth among 15 properties in the provider sample. The location score is 8.8, reflecting the quiet surroundings and the trade-off of not being in the old town.
Guests consistently praise the breakfast: a buffet with sweet and savoury options including fresh pastries, eggs and bacon. They also highlight the peaceful residential setting and the straightforward walk to major sights when the weather cooperates.
The main grumble is parking. Secure spaces are available at a nearby garage, but not on-site. If you are driving, factor in the walk from the garage to the hotel and any daily parking fees, which are not confirmed in our data.
Price and how it compares with our other two Florence picks
The reference price is €168 per night for two adults, 10 to 12 November 2026. That figure is 43 per cent below the sample median of €206.65, making Orcagna the middle option in our three-hotel shortlist.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Kursaal & Ausonia, is listed at €102 per night with an 8.4 guest score and three stars. Our Luxury choice, Golden Tower Hotel & Spa, costs €426 per night and scores 9.4 with five stars. Orcagna delivers a two-star property with a guest rating closer to the luxury end, at less than half the price. You sacrifice on-site parking and a central postcode, but you gain a well-regarded breakfast and high cleanliness marks.
Why this hotel made our top three
Orcagna earned the Best Value slot by balancing guest satisfaction, review volume and price. It scored joint fourth for reviews among 15 eligible Florence hotels in the provider sample, yet costs well under the median nightly rate.
The combination of a 9.1 score, more than 2,400 reviews and that €168 reference price means you get a tried-and-tested property with a strong breakfast in a quiet area, without paying luxury rates or settling for the cheapest room in a louder part of town.
Important details before you book
The €168 price is a reference figure for November 2026, not a live quote. Actual rates will shift by season, booking date and room type. Check current prices and cancellation terms before you pay.
Room size, soundproofing between units, renovation history and whether breakfast is included in your rate are not confirmed in our data. Ask the property directly if these matter to you. Pets are listed as permitted; confirm any fees or restrictions. Air conditioning and 24-hour front desk are noted; verify both are working if you visit in high summer or arrive late at night.
Breakfast options include continental, Italian, American, buffet and to-go formats. Confirm which is offered on your dates and whether there is an extra charge. Secure parking is at a nearby garage, not in the building; ask for the exact address, walking distance and daily cost when you book.
