I needed a place near the Firenze train station and Hotel Ester was perfect. It was only a five-minute walk from the station and the staff at reception were very quick and attentive to my needs. When I retrieved my suitcase after 12 days in storage, it was ready in the reception area and I was able to pick it up quickly and return to the station easily in time for my train. Totally satisfied with this location for luggage storage!
- Alessio
Contact was friendly and straightforward, and as it’s a hotel, I felt comfortable leaving my luggage there; the long opening hours were, of course, brilliant too

- Tracy
Hotel staff were in the hall. Within minutes, our booking had been retrieved and the cases were on their way to be stored safely for us. Excellent service!
- Nina
Easy storage with polite personnel that speaks English. They even have an extra entrance solely for the purpose of storing luggage and were careful in handling it.
- Jason
The location of the hotel is perfect for someone arriving at Santa Maria Novella, about a 100m walk total. The staff on the hotel were very friendly and accommodating, I can’t say enough nice things about them. Would highly recommend this place.
- Jorge
It is the perfect location, very close to the train station and within walking distance of several tourist attractions, and it has very kind service. Highly recommended!

Florence Cathedral bag policy and official cloakroom rules
Only bags and packages up to 35 cm x 30 cm x 15 cm may enter Florence Cathedral. For a Dome or Bell Tower climb, bags must be deposited at least 30 minutes before the booked time.
The official Grande Guardaroba at Piazza Duomo 38/r is free for ticket holders and operates daily from 7:30 AM to 8:15 PM. It will not accept luggage over 25 kg.
For larger or heavier items, Stasher luggage storage near the Duomo has no bag size or weight limits. Several storage points near the Florence Cathedral entrance stay open late, which is useful after the official cloakroom has closed.
Planning your visit: Cathedral hours and tour times
The cathedral nave is free to enter, with no ticket or reservation required. Sightseeing runs Monday to Saturday from 10:15 AM to 3:45 PM, so plan luggage storage around that window.
An official guided tour lasts 45 minutes, which gives a clear minimum for anyone visiting the cathedral with bags to store nearby. The whole monument complex closes on Easter Sunday, 25 December and 1 January, so do not arrange storage solely for a cathedral visit on those dates.
Getting to the Cathedral area with luggage
San Lorenzo Square is the closest bus stop for Florence Cathedral, with C1, C2 and C4 services stopping a 2-minute walk from the entrance. Pucci Cathedral is also nearby, served by C1, 14 and 23, with a 3 to 5-minute walk.
For tram arrivals, T2 stops at San Marco - University, 5 to 9 minutes on foot from the Cathedral. Unità and Alamanni - Stazione, served by T1 and T2, are 10 to 12 minutes away on foot.
