Excellent hotel in a good location. Very helpful.friendly staff. Good breakfast. I am a tour leader who has spent 15 years traveling the world. So I have seen all types of hotels... good, bad and ugly. The Hotel Silla is an excellent choice - I have stayed there with a group and have rebooked for another group. The hotel is... more

The hotel was a short taxi ride from the train station and in a convient location. It is on the south bank of the Arno River, but it is a short walk to the Ponte Vecchio and all major attactions. It is about 2 blocks to the Ponte Vecchio, I have attached photos for reference. Tip: Before you go, you... more

I cannot say enough positive things about the folks working at this hotel. They were simply wonderful, really helpful and friendly. I almost hate to say this in a review, but here it goes: we found a bed bug in our room. From speaking with Italian friends I've heard that this is a HUGE problem in ALL the hotels in... more

I've given the hotel 3 starts but would have given it 3.5 if I could.

The hotel is located on the south side of the river so you need to be healthy... more

The staff at the hotel is excellent. Great location about a 5-10 min walk from main tourist attractions. We were looking for a hotel out of the center of town and this fit the bill. Close enough to get to tourist attractions without being overrun by tourists. Good restaurants right behind the hotel. more

Breakfast overlooking the park and Arno River was delicious, and some of the best coffee on our 3 month trek around Europe. Hotel staff warmly welcomed us, and helped secure reservations and tickets for the on/off bus. They even had umbrellas to hand... more

We stayed in the Silla for three nights in September. It has a lovely location within easy walking distance of the centre. Our room was very spacious and well furnished, with a lovely view over the adjacent square and the river. The delicious breakfast is served on a flower-decked terrace - a real treat for Florence. The common areas have... more
