This was a great place to stay in Florence. The location is ideal and it's just a beautiful and historic hotel! Such a nice change from our crappy, dingy hotel in Bologna. Breakfast is a little overpriced, okay a lot overpriced, so I would definitely pass on that next time.

Loved it!

Stayed 7 days. Location not too picturesque as it is across from train station, however, central to absolutely everything!. Bring your walking shoes. Decor is beautiful with a great old world flavor. Had a large, outside room on 3rd floor with a King size bed. Some street noise but not enough to bother with. The inside rooms might be quieter but we saw them and they were really small and cramped. A little wear around edges of bathroom but immaculately clean. Free buffet breakfast delicious (especially the coffee) with excellent variety. Views from rooftop garden excellent photo op. My only complaint was the wash cloths---there were none to be had. Perhaps this is cultural but I for one like to wash my face.

On check-in, the staff was very friendly and helpful. My wife and I stayed seven nights so the person at check-in gave us a free room upgrade. The room was extremely large even compared to US standards. The room had a 20 ft ornate wooden ceiling and a wooden parquet floor. It was wonderful. Free breakfast on the top floor restaurant was great - both for the food and the view of the city! This hotel had a great location being next to the train station and in the heart of the old city. We could walk to all the major city sites in just minutes. Plus, there are many fine restaurants within a minute walk from the hotel. Just a few steps from the hotel is an underground walkway to the train station which is nice since you can take day trips out of Florence to Pisa, Venice or any one of the many great Tuscan hill villages. Plus, it has a bus stop just outside the front door, too. 20 Euro cab ride from the airport to hotel but you can take a bus from the airport. My advice is to spring for the cab. It?s much faster. When I return to Florence, I will stay here again. It was wonderful. The architecture and art of this hotel matched the famed architecture and art of Florence.

We had a wonderful stay at this Hotel. We are from Australia and booked this hotel well in advance. From the first instance. The room was so nice, the maid was so good. The room was kept clean. We had dinner at the lovely restaurant twice it was excellent. We were sorry to leave. We recommend this hotel and look forward to coming back again when visiting Florence.
