When it says it's close to the Duomo, it is! I couldn't believe it... we just walked out the front door, turned left, and there it was! Great central location, and lots of restaurants very close by. There's an elevator in the building so you don't have to drag your luggage up several flights of stairs. The staff were super nice and helpful. I totally recommend Hotel Costantini! The only thing that I would say to be aware of is that it's so close to the Duomo that the bells will wake you up every morning! They start at 7am. I actually liked this because it prevented me from sleeping in and wasting my time in Florence, but if you plan on partying hard and dealing with a hangover in the morning, don't stay close to the Duomo!
