Pros

Evening bar service with expert local wine and cocktail preparation
Valet parking available through partnership with nearby garage
Greenhouse-style breakfast room with made-to-order options
Cons
Hectic environment due to train station proximity

“C-Hotels Diplomat stands out with its vintage decor and prime location near Florence's train station, a boon for travelers with luggage and those arriving by train; I particularly appreciate the 24-hour self-service bar with complimentary snacks. While some may find the immediate surroundings a bit gritty, the hotel's proximity to major attractions-a comfortable walk-and complimentary parking make it a solid choice. This hotel definitely leans into convenience.”
