I stayed in San Gallo Palace Hotel for 5 nights in a leisure trip to Florence. The staff are extremely friendly and responsive. The rooms are quite large relative to European standard [I stayed in superior twin room].The assortment of breakfast offering is quite good. The hotel is about 15-20 minutes walking from city centre; yet it is accessible by... More

We were a little worried about the location of this hotel, but it turned out to be an easy bus ride down to the centre of Florence and an easy walk or bike ride to see the statue of David. While more oriented to the business traveller than the tourist we still found the staff very helpful in organising tickets... More

We booked this hotel on the back of the reviews on this site and unfortunately we were very disappointed. The hotel is certainly immaculately clean (though items such as bathrobes were missing and I had to keep asking for these) and I found the location fine (not too far out unlike some of the reviews) however I felt the service...

We found this hotel by luck at 11 p.m on December 22 after we left our previously booked hotel which turned out to be a nightmare. We were traveling with a party of 9, 3 of which were children and desperate to find a place after leaving the Hotel Giglio without even checking in. Lucca, the gentlemen at the front... More

Just one night on business in Florence. A nice hotel in the traditional Italians style. There are smarter hotels in the works but for this price, it's a gem. However, charging for wifi? Come on, this is the 21st century folks, add a couple of euros to the price and let visitors have free wifi. Increasingly this is a reason... More

The room (105) was gorgeous and very comfortable - a big upgrade from the hotel we had just stayed at in Venice. I booked the room through a voucher system (Ideeli travel) and we were upgraded to a superior room. We should have gotten a welcome drink upon arrival, and use of bicycles to ride into city center, but I... More

This is a beautiful hotel with beautiful rooms and spacious marble bathrooms. Breakfast was also good. I was impressed with how it looked until we actually had to live there for three days. Our room window faced north and there was one of the main automobile arteries of Florence that goes northwest right by the hotel. There was non-stop traffic... More

This hotel is very comfortable. People like me who are picky with the bathrooms, will love this hotel! Super clean! Spacious rooms. Commodities in general were excellent. The breakfast was very good and you can take it to an outdoor terrace they have and the mood changes to a romantic little hideout. The Location is not so great, though. It's... More

Stayed here for the May bank holiday weekend. Caught a flight to PISA and then took the train to Florence which is really easy and costs about 9EUR per person. Got a CAB to hotel which was 13EUR but it was very late at night. Ok so this hotel is a 15 min walk from the centre of Florence but... More
