We stayed here recently for 7 days, in room 303 which has a small balcony. We found the room small, but it was nice to have some outside space. The hotel is a good walk to the major Florence attractions, but we enjoyed walking and it was in a relatively quiet area compared to other hotels around the city. The... More

Stayed in this hotel only few days ago, April 12 till 15th. This hotel is for those who likes to walk as it is good 15 min walk to nearest places. Loved the location, right on the river, so peaceful and away from the crowds. Rooms are smaller then some might expect but nice and clean. We choose the 210,... More

To tell you the truth, I was a little put off by the fact that this is a "Best Western Hotel". I'm not a fan of chains. But... and this is good news ... you'd never know that it was. Historic, beautiful building, only a few dozen rooms, and great location in central Florence. The desk staff was always extremely... More

The Hotel is located close to Santa Croce and is a 15 minute walk to the Uffizi. The rooms are small, but are very very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was adequate, but not outstanding. It is the old story, you get what you pay for. Our room price was under 90 Euros for one night. We normally stay at a... More

Few faults, Double bed was twins pushed together, toilet door didn't shut, and no tea and coffee making facilities. But all ok apart from that.. :) Overall was a great... More

When my husband and I chose this hotel we did so because of it's location...On the River, close to the Duomo and a five minute walk to Maggiore Car Rental. We really weren't expecting the room to be as spacious and well appointed as it was and our room had a view of the river so that was a bonus.... More

During our stay in Rome, Venice and Paris our budget for two rooms per night at four night stay was the same for every destination. Location and a good night’s stay were key for us. And this hotel delivered, from the location, friendly staff, hotel amenities, to the spacious rooms. Cleanliness is an obvious mastered skill, as our rooms were... More

The place is well located by the river a short stroll to the Duomo, so location is good. Rooms are small but clean, bathroom dated. I did not have a river facing room (I think half of the rooms face the wrong way) and the breakfast was below par. No restaurant in the hotel but plenty to choose from around.... More
