Very friendly and helpful reception. Nice location at the river. Old building, but clean. No restaurant or extras in the hotel. Room was clean, though carpeted. Temperature adjustable: window could be opened and heater regulated. Bed fine and silent room. Bathroom fine, nothing special. All in all nothing special, but fine and for a good price. More

I do not have much bad as such to say for the hotel, it is a little basic but then it is not 5*, the welcome was polite and helpful, parking is a little problem as outside the hotel the charge is 3 euros per hour flat rate, although the hotel can arrange for your car to be collected and... More

We stayed here as a family. The triple room had a nice tall painted ceiling and a view of the Arno. The bathrooms were nicely appointed as well. The breakfast was decent. The staff helped us pick restaurants in the area. Even though it was a short walk from the sites of Florence, we could drive our car to the... More

Despite being under construction on the Arno river side this hotel was a pleasure to stay at. The lobby has warm woodworking and marble to great you besides some cherubs dangling from the ceiling. The staff has good English and is warm and informative.The rooms are of nice size and well appointed with a nice courtyard within the building. The... More

After viewing this hotel's website, I had great expectations of this hotel, but I was somewhat disappointed. Perhaps I was expecting too much. When we arrived we were impressed by the exterior, the foyer and lounge areas which were very charming, and better than expected for a 3 star hotel. However our room in the basement area, even though it... More

We stayed here for honeymoon. We loved everything about the hotel except for the rooms having paper thin walls. We could hear the people in the other room 'till late and early in the morning again. The staff where helpfull and breakfast was plenty. More

We loved our time in Florence, and the Hotel River was a great hotel and surpased our expectations. It was great value for money and much nicer than other similarly prced hotels we stayed in throughout Italy and France. Our room had a nice balcony and a great view of the river. We like being a little way away from... More

What a great hotel...from the people who run it to the rooms and the views and the breakfast...this is a great hotel at a great price. We send many clients here also, since our company is "LOVERS OF ITALY" we get a lot of...."OH I loved this hotel...." from them. All and all a great, warm, clean, fairly priced hotel... More

This hotel is excellent and all staff and facilities were excellent. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the main city and all its attractions, in August in high temperatures this walk did feel a little tedious. However the hotel overlooks the river and without the scorching temperatures the walk would have been good exercise and pleasant. I... More

Let me begin by saying that when I look for a hotel when traveling in Europe, I look for the basics meaning a good, clean bed and private bathroom with a safe and internet. This place fit it all. It is located a bit further down the Arno but not too far since you walk everywhere anyway (10 min walk... More
