I paid overall $400 per night for this hotel but there was no wifi or breakfast included which really sucked.Like many others noted here one or two reception staff were very rude.The service staff were good and the doorman was prompt.The hotel is about 2 blocks from Florence train station so its very convenient if you plan sidetrips to Pisa/Luca.It...

Service was excellent. Museum reservations were outstanding. Room was much nicer, bigger, cleaner than the first hotal we stayed in Florence. Lucky for us the other hotel only had one night available. No drunk tour group here like is so often the case in Venice and other cities I have stayed in Italy. Will recommend to all my friends.

What a beautiful hotel! The grounds here are gorgeous, and you’re right in the heart of the city so it’s easy to walk everywhere. The bar and breakfast ambiance is quite lovely, and the service is excellent. While Florence wasn’t our favorite city, this hotel was at the top of our list. The concierge recommended some fabulous restaurants, our favorite... More

The attentiveness of the staff was evident form the doorman who opened the cab door for us. The room and bathroom were outstanding. We ate dinner at the hotel and the food was excellent. The lobster pasta had so much lobster I alomost couldn't eat the main course.

We stayed at the hotel for two nights, the room was ok, the bathroom was old but good enough, we had wi-fi in the room. The reception staff spoke good English but some receptionists were rude. Food in the restaurant (both for breakfast and dinner) was good, but the staff was too slow to clean the tables and to fill... More

The Grand Hotel Villa Medici was one of the biggest hotel surprises during my multiple stays in Florence. Having stayed at many other 5-star properties in Florence before (i.e. the Savoy, Four Seasons), I had set the bar very high for my visit here. I must say I was genuinely impressed. The hotel is located in the quiet Porta al... More

Walking distance (10-15 minutes ) to all sites .Very well decorated rooms and those in the 5th floor with huge balcony.The street outside is partly pedestrianized which adds a bonus to the hotel appearance.

We could not be more impressed with the experience AND VALUE at this property. The rooms are large and clean. The staff is as friendly and professional as any property we have stayed at anywhere in the world.

Helpful, quietly attentive staff, well appointed and decorated room with a balcony and a small but relaxing garden - apart from having the peace disturbed by the pigeons. It was impossible to have a drink or eat outside because of them, a real negative.
