Re: Portrait Firenze, I think it depends which category you book. The entry-level categories go out the back, towards the delivery entrance and garbage dumps of other hotels. There is noise until late at night, and then it starts again with the first garbage truck at 5.00 in the morning emptying the containers.
The better categories facing the river are perfectly fine.

Do you looking for something comfortable or luxury? If it's luxury the favorites in this thread should do as they are not so far away from the station but also not next door.

Hey richarddd, back in 2021 you posted a thread where you said, "Florence: Portrait Firenze looks good and gets great reviews. We like the location a lot. Our only concern is street noise interfering with sleep.... The last time we were in Florence we stayed in the Rocco Forte Savoy, which was good other than unacceptable noise at night." I see your post about Savoy here.
Sounds like you didn't have a problem with noise at Portrait?

In Florence, I ended up choosing Palazzo Portinari Salviati (thanks for livefromtuscany). I posted a review thread in the forums here.
