Check Hotel Bretagna. It's on the Arno near Ponte Trinita and Ponte Vecchio and easy walking distance to most sights and to the train station. They have a variety of rooms. They have their own website and are also on booking.com. So many don't misses - Academia, Uffizi for the David and art, the Duomo, Sta. Croce, mercato centrale, Piazzale Michelangelo (for the view) are some we enjoyed. We were there in March 2009 for five days and loved it. Have a great time.

Is this your first time in Florence? Do you have the RS Florence/Tuscany book for 2011 or at least the Italy 2011 book? If not, they're the perfect starting point. And it will help if you define "reasonable" in specific dollar or euro amounts. After all, no one wants lodging with "unreasonable" rates. :-) Good luck.
