My sister and I spent three nights at the Hotel Rivoli in Florence during our December trip to Italy. We had researched hotels online through Trip Advisor and so apart from the photos available, we weren't sure what we would get. But this hotel is a true gem. It is less then a five minute walk from the main train... More

Stayed here for 3 nights in December 2011 and couldn't fault the place. Rooms were beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Staff from front desk to bar to kitchen were very courteous and helpful. Great breakfast. Hotel is close to station and about a 10 minute walk to the shopping areas. Would definitely stay here again.

I'll start with what we loved about the hotel - the staff. I couldn't fault any of them, from the bell hop to the kitchen hands. The kitChen staff even remembered our drink orders and room number, which liked. The front desk staff were so accommodating with requests and it made our stay very comfortable. We even lounged at the... More

Its location makes it a perfect place for walking to all the main sites in the city and it is also an easy stroll to the main railway station if you have come from Pisa airport. The staff were, without exception, very professional and friendly and... More

My wife and I recently stayed at the Rivoli. It is a lovely hotel, slightly quirky in a charming way, and very well-located. The rooms are large by European standards and very well-appointed. The staff are friendly and I'd have no hestitation in recommending the Rivoli to others. The most memorable aspect of our stay, however, was the level of... More

What a nice surprise this hotel turned out to be! Within walking distance from the train station and Santa Maria Novella Square. Also not a bad walk to the Ponte de Vecchio bridge and other attractions. After much walking during the day it was nice to be able to come back to the hotel and relax in the courtyard or... More

Having stayed at many different hotels in Florence over the years the Ravoli Hotel came as a nice surprize. 100yards from the Santa Maria Novella Square its location is excellent. Many types of rooms all set in an old Monastry make this hotel a pleasant surprize. You may have to really look to get the right room as some are... More
