Nice hotel in the heart of Firenze , friendly staff, comfortable rooms (although a bit small). The only caveat is there’s no coffee machines in the room which should be a standard in all hotels nowadays.

Beautiful hotel on a lovely piazza and facing the Arno. Quiet outside of the busiest tourist area . But still walkable to all that you would want to see in Florence. Great roof top bar and restaurant. Service very useful and friendly.

A beautiful hotel in the heart of Florence. Nowhere was too far to walk. The room was amazing and the surroundings were magnificent. The staff were fantastic and the bar area was amazing with a live Piano play on each evening.

Very elegant hotel with an old school customer service oriented staff. They happily helped with every request. Make sure that you don’t skip the rooftop dining. The only thing better than the food is the view!

Superb

We've visited Florence several times now and always loved walking pas this iconic building with the view that one day I would stay there. This visit that goal materialised. A great reception from the ladies in reception led us to our room facing the Arno River. The room was huge, king sized bed, and bathroom well appointed. Clean and spacious. Superb bedroom. Breakfast is also a treat. They have a chef who makes the most fantastic omlettes, and the stocking of the buffet breakfast is done maticuloulsly. Our go-to hotel from now on when we will inevitably return to Florence.
