This hotel has the very best location. You wake up in the morning with a beautiful view of the cupulas and towers of important buildings all around. Nice, comfortable beds, nice bathroom (need to put additional towers for women), with a nice robe and slippers. It offers a very good breakfast, but I think they can offer lunch and dinner for they already have the space. I honestly don't know why they don't. Closeby there are pizza and restaurants where you can eat on a budget. People are courteous and elegant, helpful in getting whatever you need. I will certainly repeat my visit and highly recommend it!!.

Beautiful historic hotel in a central location. Just a couple of blocks from the Santa Maria Del Fiore, short walk to Uffizi and the river and about 15 minute walk to Accademia. The staff was extremely nice and helpful and the hotel was spotless. They provided restaurant recommendations that were among the best meals we had in all of Italy. Highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Florence.

We enjoyed our stay here! Our room was comfortable and clean, with great AC for some seriously hot days 90 degrees (F). The staff was extremely helpful. We loved the breakfast buffet. Had a great view of the duomo and the rest of the city from the rooftop bar! Loved the location—we walked everywhere from the hotel. Would definitely return!

A mixed review, and I hope the otel look at this and make some chnages or explain why: Beautiful building right in the centre of Florence. Perfect for short walks to the old town and Duomo and piazzas. Down side of that is drunken tourists at 2am screaming in the road outside and rubbish collections early on plus laundry delivery & collection around 1am. Not good if you had a city view room as we did, despite being on the 4th floor. It is weird and frustrating you cannot take any food from breakfast area to your room, not even a croissant to have with a coffee after the breakfast service is done or if you want to sit somewhere more private. You can take a cup of coffee away though. Management decision blamed by staff and wow, it is enforced ! Milk is not placed near the coffee and drink area, it's in another area where the cereals are so you have to walk back and forward. Again, weird. The ground floor bar area is never open. Management decision blamed by staff. Shame as it is a nice area just off reception. The roof terrace (one of the main reasons we chose this place) and lounge only open 6pm to 11pm. It cannot be accessed during the day so no outside space available until 6pm and you must buy at least 1 drink (fair enough) and it is not cheap but hey, what a view ! Therefore you are unable to buy any drink/fluids at all until it opens. Management decision blamed by staff. This is a 4 star hotel where you cannot get a drink of any sort. Weird. When asked about this I was told to use the vending machines which are on some floors to buy water or snacks but they are switched off or don't work so you would need to leave the hotel to go get a drink of anything really. Room 425 - Not enough plug sockets in the room to charge mobiles, mossie tablet thing or use brought hairdryer. Only 1 was accessible without unplugging a fixture or moving furniture. Mirror too high to see on the all for short wife but a small tv on the wall below the mirror. Pointless set up as women are unable to apply make up at the dresser as the tv is right in front not the mirror which is above. The bathroom mirror also way is too high for the average person (male or female). The hallway mirror is too dark so insufficient lighting. Picky, I know. No hooks in bathroom for hanging robes or the wet towels or our wash bag so had to drape them over the doors. Weird. No glasses provided in the room at all not even to rinse and brush your teeth with. Just 2 cardboard cups by the kettle with a basic coffee sachet. Beware of the lift doors shutting too early and hitting customers, knocking coffee to the floor and bashing into your arms. We observed daily impacts and some colourful language. Did we like the holiday stay ? Yes, mainly for the building ambience and roof terrace but there are better and much cheaper alternatives to pick from. A shame really as it could be so much nicer with some changes. I am aware the high cost is funding the building, which must cost a lot to maintain but it slips down on some basics here.…

This hotel is so centrally located to everything in Florence - you can walk to anything that you want to see or do. Surrounded by tons of restaurants, you don’t have to go far to find a great meal, amazing gelato, and all of the shopping is within walking distance. The rooms are spacious (we had a family suite which was 2 separate rooms and was perfect for our teenage daughters) and very clean. This hotel is one of the oldest in the city, according to a staff member, but it has been beautifully restored and updated. The hotel provides parking, which is an additional cost, and has a very nice European breakfast for $25/person. It can be a little tricky to navigate the streets of Florence with a car even with GPS, so I would recommend getting the specifics & details about parking to unload bags, etc. before arriving at the hotel. The rooftop deck is a must-do at sunset and you will need a reservation to ensure that you get a seat! Don’t miss it, it’s so worth it.…

Perfect location, very friendly staff, clean/spacious rooms, good a/c. The only reason I'm not giving this hotel a 5/5 is because they advertise a rooftop bar, which is one of the reasons I booked this hotel, and we were never able to get a reservation (we stayed 4 nights).

Hotel was lovely, we had a small issue with one of the rooms but this was dealt with quickly and room was changed when brought to the attention of the front desk. Breakfast and amenities was good. The front desk staff were faultless- my mum broke her ankle on holiday and they were so helpful, organising taxis and a trip to the hospital. Location was prime

Step outside and you’re in the heart of Florence with everything on your doorstep. We booked the rooftop terrace bar both evenings to watch the sunset and enjoyed excellent cocktails. Our family room was great with comfy beds - a double, twin and two bathrooms (no sofa bed). We heard very little noise considering the location. We used the car park so pulled up outside to unload and the car park guy collected our car and brought it back when we were ready to leave. Thank you to the lovely staff.

This is a wonderful hotel in a perfect location. It is a couple minutes to all the main attractions. The rooms are beautiful. We stayed in a family suite that had two rooms connected by a hallway and private entrance with two bathrooms which was perfect for a family of 4. The roof top bar is small but very nice with great views. The hotel staff was great and recommended restaurants all of which were superb. We ordered the fruit plate waiting for us upon arrival and it was perfect after a day of traveling in the hot weather. I would highly recommend for families

The location was incredible. The rooms were beautiful. The architecture was stunning. The buffet breakfast was the best I have had. Staff were helpful and friendly. Honestly - you step out the door and you are in the middle of it all. Good A/C (and we were in the middle of a heatwave).
