Although the suite was impressive to look at, it was not functional. The drain in the shower was clogged causing flooding that actually went under the panels. The room was set up for 2 people not 4 and the phone line in the room went dead to which they were unable to fix. Any time we needed anything we had to go to the lobby to ask for it.

Good location, good hotel.

The Borghese Palace Hotel was a clean, quiet hotel in a great location. This hotel is within walking distance to the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Galleria dell'Accademia, Galleria degli Uffizi and the downtown shopping Area. There were many good restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. The staff was not as friendly or helpful, and the breakfast was limited.

Yes First time in this hotel, very friendly Staff. But never go by car to Florence(Firenze), I went there by car from PISA Airport, till the sign Firenze it was easy, but to find the hotel takes about one hour, there are too many ONEWAY-streets there, so at least I stopped a Taxidriver, and with him it takes 20 min again to the hotel. But for shopping in Firenze it is a very good located hotel, you can shop there until you are poor.

Is this a four star hotel? I'm not sure. To my mind, it provides three star facilities to a very high standard. But I didn't need four star facilities so I can live with that. The price was reasonable enough for Italy and the location is fantastic. Almost everywhere you could want to go in Florence is accessible within 5 minutes on foot.
