Albergo Sonia - A residential district Florence hotel with air conditioning and proximity to hospitals

Located in the heart of Careggi Rifredi, Albergo Sonia features 25 rooms across three floors, each equipped with air conditioning and cool tiled floors. This smoke-free Florence hotel, operating since the early 1970s, provides a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout, and vending machines for snacks and drinks. Most rooms include a private bathroom, kettle, and Select Comfort beds. The morning breakfast service offers coffee or cappuccino, fruit juice, and croissants. A bar/lounge and snack bar/deli cater to guests throughout the day. Business travelers benefit from desk spaces in rooms. The property stands just a 5-minute walk from both the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Careggi hospital and Firenze Rifredi Train Station.

Pros

Located 2952.8 ft from the new Pediatric Meyer entrance on Viale Pieraccini

Professional host management ensures safety features including fire extinguishers

Accepts bookings without credit card requirement

Some rooms feature elegant wrought-iron beds and rustic furniture

Cons

2 miles distance from Santa Maria Novella central station

3 miles from Peretola Airport

“While a bit outside the center, its proximity to convenient bus lines and a soon-to-open tram makes getting around Florence simple; plus, the neighborhood offers a local feel. The simply furnished, clean rooms include air conditioning, and a very good café next door more than compensates for the modest breakfast. In my opinion, this represents a solid value choice.”
