I use this site for hotels here in Italy: http://en.venere.com/hotels_florence/. You can select specific areas within a city from the map and then sort by price, rating or other criteria. The reviews by past guests are usually useful. I don't stay in Florence very often because I live within two hours of the city. When I do stay there, it's usually in the areas identified as Uffizi, Duomo, or Palazzo Strozzi on the Venere map. The Santa Maria Novella area can be a little less expensive, but it's within easy walking distance of all the major sights. The historic part of Florence is very compact and extremely easy to walk.

I stayed at this place the last time and was pleasently surprised (free internet, good breakfast, good value, lower priced than the places I usually stay): http://en.venere.com/hotels_florence/palazzo_strozzi/hotel_bretagna.html#

Near center is the best choice for sight seeing and night life. You can go to Scoobit.com, the hotel search engine at http://www.scoobit.com Switch the language to English, then fill the form with city name (Florence) you can leave the address field blank. Then click on "Search hotel". I went to MSNHotel Bigallo, nice and clean place, loving it. Scroll down and look on the right. But feel free to choose the hotel that best fits your needs. It's a safe website I've used many times so far, and you can book on line. You're gonna love Florence. It's such a beautiful city and there's so much to see.

The area around the back of the cathedral (the duomo) is the best, as u can find cheap hotel, is in the centre close to all must-sees and during night time is lively and has a lot of bars and restaurants.

For instance, anything around via del Corso or Via del Proconsolo is good. There a lot of little streets, and beautiful charming spots. U will love florence.

Oh, if u want to get a breathtaking view of the city (river, mountains on the other side), plus an extra typical-country like italian bite, go to Fiesole. It is a small town outside the city, really close. U can get an urban bus line to get there, just ask in the hotel or in the bus station.
