Rough Guide "Since opening in 2008, this modern hostel has won awards for its service and excellent facilities."
Frommer's "If a gated courtyard right in the center appears rather a grand address for a hostel, that is because this is no ordinary student traveler dive." Full review
Let's Go "Don’t wait another minute to make a reservation at this hostel—with only 30 beds and the best value in the neighborhood, it’s no surprise that Academy doesn’t have many last-minute vacancies." Full review
OysterBudget
"The 10-room Academy Hostel is a budget property close to the Duomo that's ideal for young travelers looking for a clean, affordable spot for exploring the city." Full review
The Telegraph8.0

Michelin Guide "Situated in the historic centre... Elegant."
Frommer's "There's a certain old-world elegance, reminiscent of an English country manor, to the richly decorated common rooms and the gravel-strewn garden of this 14th-century palazzo." Full review
Fodor's "Though some rooms are small, they are tasteful, and best of all, housed in a 15th-century palazzo that retains some of its wood-coffered ceilings from the 1500s." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Housed in a 15th-century palazzo that was originally a convent, Hotel Monna Lisais located in the city's Piazza Della Signoria." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Close to Santa Croce, the hotel is in a 14th-century palazzo with terracotta floors, white stucco walls and pietra serena (a type of Italian sandstone) detailing."
Star Service "One of the most popular and least expensive choices in town for those whose fantasies run to sleeping and relaxing in an eccentric residential-style dwelling." Full review
