This is a three star hotel with five star service. Every member of the team understand what service excellence is - and they deliver it consistently. We stayed with friends in three rooms - each was spotlessly clean, had individual charm and character and remained wonderfully warm during the -4 degrees weekend. Having read some of the poor comments, I... More

After our BA flight home was cancelled we called into Il Guelfo Bianco to see if they could help us with an unexpected night's accommodation. We had been staying in a very sleek, contemporary apartment which had glorious views of the Duomo but was bitterly cold (the external temps were an unprecedented -10 at least) and we needed somewhere warm....

We stayed for three nights, and it was wonderful. So glad I did my research on tripadvisor, and booked a stay here. Breakfast was so good and fresh, macchiato's superb, and I had a terrific lunch in the cafe as well. Home cooked duck and potatoes. Room 118 was great. Location is the best, much better to be here than... More

This is a wonderfully quaint, CLEAN, safe, wonderfully located hotel in Florence. I actually stayed in two different rooms because I returned to Florence after 8 or so days away. The staff is wonderful. They are cheerful, helpful and appreciative. Hotel Il Gruelfo Bianco is stuffed with antiques and wonderful architecture as well as interesting art throughout the hotel. The... More

The hotel is very central and with lovely detail in the room- it felt special. No noise from the street when windows are closed- we stayed in the street facing room and my other half is a light sleeper. The breakfast was good and fresh. The only minus for me was that I found beds and pillows a bit hard... More

We stayed in January 2012 and had a great experience. Staff was always extremely helpful and helped to make our stay very comfortable. The view from the window to the garden was like something you see in the movies. Within walking distance to all the things you will want to see when you are in Florence (We only took a... More

Stayed 4 nights in a junior suite. It was a very good sized room although I think typical for Florence, a little old looking room (unless you stay in a chain hotel or willing to pay a few hundred euros a nite). Friendly staff and good breakfast (included in rates). 5 minutes walking distance to duomo and acccademia. Amd 10... More

Stayed here in October 2011 with family including teenage son. Got good deal on hotel website. Reviews and photos accurate. Street not pretty, just ordinary, but again photos accurate. Little bistrot attached to hotel fine especially if you can't walk another step! Hotel location is perfect, just up from square with Duomo and San Marco 2 minutes walk the opposite... More

This is a very nice and unique hotel. The room was decorated with antiques and stained glass windows. The tile bathroom floor was heated which was great in January! Breakfast was very good. The staff was very helpful. The price was very inexpensive considering everything you got. It was also very close to many sights. More
