This was our fourth stay at the Rivoli; we've kept it a secret from everyone except close friends until now. It's extremely well located being only a short distance from the main station of Santa Maria Novella and yet only 5 mins from the best sights and shopping. The staff are smartly attired, polite, friendly and helpful. The rooms and... more

We were delighted by this hotel housed in a former monastery. Prime location, delightful ground and a killer courtyard area for lounging or dining. While we were told the property was a three star listing, we feel it far exceeded several of the four star hotels on our journey. The front desk staff was enchanting and truly helpful--a pleasant change... more

A great location and a very good hotel. The only thing that could have been better is a bigger bathroom and if we had a balcony. Staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was clean and well maintained. Most sites were close by and walkable and only 5 minutes from the station. The jacquzi was great to relax in... more

The staff were very helpful, and spoke excellent English. The room overlooked the courtyard and got the morning sun. It was reasonably sized and well appointed, and the bathroom was... more

While the hotel is real close to the rail station it feel slike it's miles away. You can walk the short distance in 5/7 minutes day or night. The location was excellent and the room was fine and not on the small side. The bathroom was also full size and both were very clean. Most rooms have a small balcony... more

Stayed here with a friend, just 10 mins walk into the main part of the city but far enough away to be out of the chaos. Very close to the station also - no need for taxis. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, breakfast was very good for Italy and the room was very clean. The best feature... more
