Hotel Il Sole

We found the management of the hotel to be wonderful, friendly and very helpful on giving us guidance of where to eat and shop. They even went to the trouble to ring some of the business to assist us. The hotel is so close to the station and is about 25 min to Florence. The rooms are very comfortable warm and breakfast is a treat. Can’t recommend it highly enough, we loved 4 days here.

Hotel is in a great location opposite the train station from which you can travel effortlessly to Pisa, Florence etc. Parking is difficult in the summer and the hotel breakfast is basic. Room was clean and the air conditioning was very effective in the bedroom but not evident elsewhere in the building.

This is really a great hotel and we very enjoyed our visit. Very easy to pop into Florence for the whole day, as the well-served train station is just meters away (but no noise or disruption within the hotel). The town itself has some very nice restaurants within a short walk, as recommended by the front desk, and that we enjoyed a lot. Rooms are clean and fresh. Breakfast is nothing special, but it's enough. Overall this is a great way to avoid overpaying for hotel and restaurants in Florence itself, while still being convenient to multiple destinations nearby.

This hotel was perfect for what we needed. We were arriving for a wedding and needed somewhere clean and updated but reasonable to stay and this hotel exceeded our expectations. Our flight was delayed to Pisa and we missed the last train to Empoli, but thankfully I had emailed the hotel ahead of time incase of such an incident and they were beyond helpful, which felt like one last thing to worry about whilst we were stranded in Pisa in the early hours of the morning. So despite eventually getting to our hotel hours later than expected, they had anticipated every doubt or confusion we may have had getting into the hotel in their instructions, which made our arrival so hassle free. Check in was such an ease! Plus the owner and breakfast staff were so welcoming and charming. Thank you for making our stay a wonderful and easy experience! What a wonderful start to our holiday!

Chose Hotel Sole as convenient for visiting family in the area around Empoli. Staff at hotel very friendly and helpful, good breakfast selection. Beds and pillows very comfortable will certainly stay here again.

Excellent affordable location, basic room but spotlessly clean with lovely shower and very friendly and helpful staff. One minute walk to the train station which makes it a perfect location if planning to explore Florence, Pisa or any other surrounding cities. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel is very close to train station which is useful if you want to visit Tuscany

Convenient location next to the train station. Easy to find. Very friendly reception staff and clean hotel and room.
