The rooftop view was spectacular and I loved the fact that they served wine while we watched the sun set. This hotel is in a perfect location and it is priced well, but the room we stayed in was disgusting. It was very outdated, the bed was stiff and squeaky, the linens were thin and smelled badly, the room had... more

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Torre Guelfa while in Florence on our honeymoon. The hotel itself has a great location. We were a five minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi, the Piazza della Signoria, and the Palazzo Vecchio. The atmosphere of the hotel is very classy but not pretentious. The room we stayed in was... more

We were a little unsure about the Torre Guelfa hotel, until we got there. The staff at the check-in were marvelous, the rooms were all a little different but very unique, and the facilities were fantastic. Having the Tower (highest in Florence, besides the Duomo), to climb up and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sun set, was... more

Now sometimes that's a good thing, but it's surely not what I expected. Rick Steves tours books here, as do some other groups. English is the dominate (only?) language in the breakfast room. I agree with a previous comment that breakfast could be brought up a notch. The cappuccino and service were super, though. Staff is wonderful. Really. No matter... more

When we return to Florence we will definitely stay there again. The Hotel was an amazing experience. To spend the early evening having drinks atop the tower, overlooking Florence, was an excelent way to relax and wind down for dinner. Great location for getting around on foot. We cannot say enough about how helpful and freindly the staff and owners... more

I lived in Firenze for 6 months prior to staying at this hotel. My mom and Nonna came to visit me while I lived in Firenze and we booked this hotel. Having had time to explore the city prior to their arrival, I was certain, for the price, this was the absolute BEST choice in the entire city! Most hotels... more

I booked this hotel requesting a double room for use by a single person and expected to pay full price. But when I arrived I was put in what obviously was a single room dark and dreary with a large armoir that was falling apart and still charged for a double. The hotel is lovely, the location wonderful, and I... more

This is a difficult review to write. The location of the hotel is wonderful. Very convenient, yet quiet at night. Our suite was huge...including the bathroom (although the shower was just in the middle of the floor with no surround, so the bathroom floor was slippery), and well air conditioned. The breakfast wasn't great...rolls (the bread in Tuscany is their... more

I can't wait to get back to Firenze and stay at the Torre Guelfa. It is a true gem. Unbelievable central location. You can walk everywhere in the city from here. The staff is the greatest in this wonderful historic building. There is a rooftop happy hour with wine and beer where you will get some of the best pictures... more
