Frommer's "This old-fashioned pensione in a 1507 palazzo just off the river charges little for its simple comfort and kind hospitality. The rooms differ greatly in size and style." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Located on the second and third floors of a 16th-century building, this central hotel, with its vaulted ceilings, retains an aura of grandeur."
Rough Guide "An unpretentious and very good two-star with 27 rooms [nearly all with bathroom] occupying a sixteenth-century palazzo and furnished in a mixture of antique and modern styles."
Fodor's "An aura of grandeur pervades these clean, ample rooms a block from the Ponte Vecchio." Full review

EuroCheapo "The cozy, two-star Hotel Alessandra has got hospitality down to an art." Full review
