Max Hotel Livorno is a 4-star hotel and our Best Value pick in the city. It works best for practical stays: a night before a ferry, a train connection, or a road trip with a car to park. Free parking and family rooms are listed, and so is a restaurant.
Skip it if you want to walk to the historic sights. The landmarks in our data are all more than 30 minutes away on foot. Its guest score of 8.0 is also the lowest of our three Livorno picks, so travellers who rank hotels on reviews may prefer the alternatives.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Via Giotto Ciardi 28. Guests rate the location 7.4, a modest score, but they like being close to the ferry port, the train station and the Modigliani Forum.
By our straight-line estimates, the New Synagogue of Livorno is about 2.6 km away, roughly 33 minutes on foot. The Monument of the Four Moors is about 2.9 km (36 minutes) and the Old Fortress about 3.1 km (39 minutes). All three are far on foot, so plan on public transport or a taxi for sightseeing.
Free parking is listed, which makes a car the easiest way to use this hotel. Confirm availability for your dates.
What guests say
The 8.0 score comes from 2,252 reviews. It placed joint 3rd of the 3 eligible hotels in our sample, so it is the lowest-scored of our picks here.
Guests like the practical location near the port and station, and they praise cleanliness, with tidy, well-maintained rooms and bathrooms.
Breakfast draws the main criticism. The buffet is varied and starts early, but service can be slow and the room gets crowded. Breakfast types are not listed in our data, and whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed. Check both when you book.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price we saw was €109.00 a night for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, about €218 in total, a little above the sample median of €103.75. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Prices in Livorno did not follow the usual order on our reference dates. Our Budget pick, Hotel Rex, was €103.75 with 8.3. Our Luxury pick, GH Palazzo Suite & SPA, was the cheapest of the three at €94.40, with 8.4 and 5 stars. So on those dates this hotel cost the most and scored the least. Its case rests on free parking, its position near the port and station, and its clean rooms, plus free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Why it made our top 3
Only 3 eligible hotels were in our Livorno sample. The Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price; it is not necessarily the cheapest.
With so few candidates, this hotel took the middle slot. Be clear-eyed: on our reference dates the Luxury pick was both cheaper and better rated. Check live prices, because that may differ on your dates.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the room description and rate conditions carefully.
Compare today's price with GH Palazzo Suite & SPA before committing. If you take this hotel, confirm free parking, ask whether breakfast is included, and plan transport into the old centre.
