Top hotels in San Lorenzo
The Social Hub Florence Lavagnini
"We had the best stay! The staff were all so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The amenities and rooftop bar were incredible. The room was clean. Location was great because it was away from the city center and the crowded areas, but only a quick walk to the main area. 10/10."

Plus Florence - Hostel
"This was an excellent place to stay. I recommend it to any travellers. There is a little grocery store down the street. If you venture up to Piazzale Michelangelo and Basilica of San Miniato al Monte, the bus #12 literally drops you off in front of the hostel."
