Clean. Conveniently located (5-10 min max, walk from Santa Maria Novella Train Station). Walking distance (15-20 min max) to the majority of the attractions in Firenze. Quiet. Good restaurants close by. Staff is courteous & efficient. Breakfast is good- plentiful. Rooms were well-equipped & laid out. Have to pay 5 Euro/24h for WiFi access which is spotty- but hey, you're... More

Situated close the the bus/railway stations approx. 6-10 minute walk. Centrally located for sightseeing on foot. The rooms were spacious, and my husband and I were particularly happy as we were allocated a room with a patio, the majority of rooms had small balconies. A quiet hotel, just perfect for a weekend break, friendly staff, great choice at the breakfast... More

The hotel is 2 minutes' walk away from Santa Maria Novella, and about 10 minutes' walk from the Duomo (or 20 slow walking and window shopping). It has a very quiet and lovely inner courtyard with a superb restaurant. There is a fab hot tub as well, although as it's also in a courtyard you feel rather on display as... More

The USP of this hotel is its location. Its barely 5 mins from the train station, which makes it super convenient. It is also extremely close to the Santa Maria square and some great restaurants around the area. You can walk to Duomo and other museums which aren't more than a 15-20 mins walk. Our room was great, looked like... More

The room was very nice with free wifi the first night then available for 5 Euros daily. The hotel has a very nice breakfast buffet excellent selection with a friendly staff.... More

We stayed two nights in this hotel. The location is very good, not far away from the city center, but not too close, so it's relatively quiet, especially if the room is internal (don't expect any view from the window). It's also very close to the train station if it matters. On other hand if you have a car, you... More

We spent two nights at Hotel Rivoli, and would have happily stayed longer. All the staff we encountered were friendly and professional. The hotel decor was lovely, and our room was very clean and comfortable. The stand-out for us were the meals (dinner and breakfast) we enjoyed at the hotels' restaurant. The dinner service was outstanding, the wait staff were... More

We stayed here for 6 nights in late April 2013. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We were given a room overlooking the courtyard. Most of the time it was quiet, though there were nights we were kept awake by people chatting outside. The room only has the air conditioning turned on from June to Sept so it... More
