LOCATION: Great location! If you want to be 10 meters from Ponte Vecchio. You can see all the main attractions in Florence on foot. It was even a 15 minute walk to the train station, in case you want to take the 75 minute train trip to Pisa. ROOM: We got a complimentary upgrade to a larger room. It was... more

My wife and weren't quite as convinced as other reviewers of the Continentale's success as a design; parts of it seem at bit overdone and slightly 2005 now! Plus points are the excellent central location by the Ponte Vecchio, and the (expensive) tower room we were in was spacious with a huge bed and soundproof from the bustle below thanks... more

We loved staying at this hotel. The location was super convenient, It was a modern clean hotel in the middle of the classic Italian city. The hotel staff was kind enough. the decor was nice i wish i could have brought some the pieces home with me! more

We got a great deal on this special hotel. The location is so central we could almost touch the Ponte Vecchio. The staff couldn't have been happier to help, the food was lovely and the relaxation room did it's job. The modern decor was simple, but elegant and the view from the roof lovely. We could find nothing to fault... more

The room was spectacular and immediately instilled a sense of calm in the busy city of Florence. Our bed was draped with white flowing fabric enhanced by a pedestal flat screen television.

This is one of the best hotels I've stayed in. It really does deserve all of the rave reviews. The location is amazing. It is situated at the end of the Ponte Vecchio, only 2 blocks from the Uffizi and within a 10 minute walk of the Duomo. Only 5 minutes from the Piazza della Signoria, which is a lovely... more

The room was beautiful (the all white décor really does make you think you’re in heaven), immaculately clean, romantic lighting, walk-in closet so we weren't looking at/tripping over our stuff all week, bath was fabulous with a wonderful shower and very well designed for two people to share, breakfast was outstanding, and the staff was thoughtful, helpful, friendly and greeted... more

I had orginally booked a room at JK place (really wanted to stay there because of all the rave reviews and accolades they received), but because of it's location, at the last minute I can cancelled the reservation and booked with the Continentale. I'm glad I did, because our stay at the Continental was great! The location is absolutely perfect... more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for a short break over Valentines Day 2009. It is in a very central location, right by the Ponte Vecchio - and some rooms (even the cheapest rooms) have a view out over the Arno river. The public areas have a very relaxed, boutique feel, with interesting art and a real sense... more
