Delightful hotel. However, lower floors facing the river are noisy... Will stay again, but be more selective with the room location. Bathrooms are quite small but elegant.

I think this hotel is an excellent choice for most travellers, maybe with the exception of a family with small children because of the very busy surroundings with traffic just outside the door (no noice though in the room we had). I could list everything that was fantastic, that would be a very long list.. So instead I mention the only one thing that was not perfect and that was the bed, it was too hard. If you can sleep on a hard bed, stay at this hotel, you will not regret it. it is excellent in every other aspect!

Very nice hotel, excellent location, staff very kind and competent. They gave us a warm welcome (free drink on the terrace) and a nice gift for Easter (chocolate egg and two T-shirts!). Corridors are clean, but very narrow and a bit suffocating. Public areas are elegant and quiet. The terrace is absolutely awsome (you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city, the river, and the countryside in the long distance). An excellent breakfast is served in a huge room with frescoes on the ceiling. It is a nice hotel for a short-term holiday (2 or three days): after a bit you will get tired of tiny spaces. I recommend booking an executive double room or a suite, since the standard double is really too small even for one person.

A four star that is actually a four star. Breakfast-best that we have ever had. The 5th floor bar/terrce is comfortabel and the best view in town. The room was large by European standards. The bath was great but the shower was small. Overall, the best hotel that we have found in Europe

This hotel is now our new Florence hotel, and we have stayed at 4 Florence hotels, including a Ferragamo hotel. We will definitely return to the Hotel Degli Orafi. The rooms, public areas, service were all superb. The breakfast buffet was the best of all the hotels we've stayed at during our vacation. We would recommend this hotel to anyone. Great location, great value, great service, charming, great bathrooms, plumbing, shower, clean.
