This hotel is in walking distance from the train station. In a lovely piazza with some lovely restaurants and a fun Irish Bar. The hotel is clean, with friendly helpful staff. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. We upgraded to a suite for an extra £50 per night. What an amazing treat. The suite had a fabulous bathroom with super... More

I stayed here For business and was upgraded to a suite when I checked in. This is a really nice policy the hotel has for female guests, and a wonderful welcome to an excellent hotel. The Room had a small balcony with a great view over the square out front and the adjacent church. The suite was actually large enough... More

We chose this hotel blind-folded, and exceeded our expectations. Better location than expected: close to the train station (on of the reasons for choosing was coming by train from Venezia), it is also real close to tha impressing Cathedral, where the must-see city begins. You can make mostly everything walking, two streets from the real stuff, at a better price... More

Located about half a block from the main train station and within easy walking distance to all the sights of Florence this hotel was a fabulous place to stay. The rooms were of good size with plenty of room to spread out your traveling gear/suitcase etc. Ensuite bathroom was beautifully clean and towels were of good quality. Free internet provided... More

A great location, nice rooms, very pleasant staff. My wife and I picked this hotel on a whim and it exceeded our expectations - was a perfect location with an expansive area in front of the hotel for just sitting and people watching. Its close to the train station, close to the River and I would pick it again when... More

The hotel is within walking distance from every attraction. Service was superb, the restaurant delicious, breakfast OK (surprisingly no toasted bread though). The room was not very large, but we had a beautiful view on the square and the city. We were there with a gift package so we cannot comment on the price/quality ratio. More

Overlooking the Piazza Santa Maria Novella and looking towards the Duomo, it is a beautiful setting. We opened up our windows and shutters anytime we were in our room. We were walking distance to the train station which made it easy to hop a train for a day trip to various places. We only ate breakfast at the restaurant, which... More

The location is excellent as it is within walking distance of the train station and many of the sights in Florence. Their are plenty of shops and Restaurants to try nearby as the Hotel Restaurant is a little pricey if on a... More

We selected this hotel having stayed at the Grand Minerva in Rome 3 years ago. Once again, we were delighted by the location, staff and overall experience. We used this hotel as a 6 night "base" as we toured Tuscany and the beautiful city of Florence. We had tremendous success with restaurant recommendations (Il Trebbio was our favorite) and we... More
