Since opening in 1989, Il Guelfo Bianco Hotel has been constantly evolving but it is only now, after several improvements made in the last 10 years, that we can say that it has a brand new face. After the last renovation rooms are all with parquet. The bedrooms, large and luminous, have all been decorated with antique furniture, artisan draperies and important pieces of contemporary art. Many of these are also present in the common areas. Attention to detail is given to each bedroom whether a single or a De Luxe - the differentiation in category (Executive, Superior, De Luxe or Junior Suite) is based purely on size. The range of accommodation types available allows us to satisfy the multiple needs of our guests, many of whom have contributed with their suggestions over the years, to the final décor of the bedrooms. Our motto is and has always been to improve in such a way to often pleasantly surprise our regular guests; we dont expect to be ‘the first nor ‘the best but we certainly consider our hotel easily distinguishable. All of the improvements have been made with the intent to maintain the original welcoming atmosphere intact; the evolutions have allowed us to upgrade from a friendly nest to a comfortable and warm cradle. a lovely bistro restaurant "IL DESCO" is available from 1200 til 3pm and again from 6,30 to 10,30 pm with seasonal menu with many organic products. Sundays close for dinner. (the restaurant at the moment is closed)

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We enjoyed a fantastic stay in Florence at Il Guelfo Bianco. From the moment that we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. The rooms are comfortable and a pleasure to stay in, with interesting furnishings and artwork. All of the amenities are modern and work well. The breakfast menu range is extensive and delicious. The hotel is in the heart of Florence, just a few minutes away from the Accademia, Duomo and the city centre. All the major sites are within easy walking distance. Thank you to everyone at Il Guelfo Bianco who made our stay so enjoyable. We cannot recommend you enough and we hope to return in the not too distant future.

Hotel's Favourite
Il Guelpho Bianco exceeded our expectations during our stay. The hotel has an authentic old-world charm that was hard to find when we were searching for bookings in downtown Florence. The hotel looked even better in person than in photographs. The room was beautiful, with plenty of great decorative and architectural details. The curved brick archway and high wooden ceiling were very nice. It was also spotlessly clean. The bathroom was larger and well-appointed than we expected, with nice tile work and a big bathtub with shower attachment. The team at Il Guelpho Bianco was also great. Everyone was friendly and helpful, recommending restaurants, calling cabs and storing our luggage after checkout. We really appreciated the friendly service from the staff. The location near the city center was convenient for accessing all the main attractions downtown. The value for the money is impressive. We went to a much higher-priced Villa for the second half of our trip, and I wished we had stayed at Il Guelpho Bianco instead. I would definitely recommend this hotel to any visitors to Florence, and I'd like to thank the team at Il Guelpho Bianco for hosting us.

A well-situated hotel full of character being a former palazzo with friendly and helpful reception staff especially Margherita and Francesco. A good breakfast was also provided but might have benefitted from a better choice of cereals although there was plenty of all types of coffee on tap! Our quietly-situated room was very clean and of adequate size for three people with a large bathroom but there were no tea and coffee-making facilities and surprisingly there were no channels in English on the TV despite there being many other channels in other languages!! We would definitely go back there.

Wonderful, better than the hotel we stayed at in Rome—this hotel was a solid and reliable choice ; right next to the Academia, somewhat near the train station, large tub and shower with high water pressure— which was nice— breakfast good, and the room was interesting.

We stayed at this property for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room was large as was the bathroom. Our room and all public areas of the hotel were exceptionally clean. Hotel staff and the breakfast room staff were extrememly friendly and helpful. Even though all the employees were friendly and helpful, we found Annalisa to be exceptional; she is an asset to the hotel ! We were guided to an excellent restaurant and visited the public market on recommendations from her. We will stay at this hotel when we return to Florence. We found the grocery store near the hotel to be an added plus, we drink a lot of bottled water.

I see the reviews and I see the pictures of amazing rooms. I even saw our aunts room which was amazing. We however got put in room #4. To be clear we booked before our aunts but they arrived a few days before us. Room #4 is incredibly small. Bathroom I believe is wheelchair accessible so sink is extremely low (we are tall). The window looks out over a covered small courtyard so no way can you see the weather. It was just depressing. Breakfast was nice. Definitely NOT worth what we paid.

Dear guest; Thank you for letting us be your home in Florence and for giving us your feedback. All the opinions of our guests help us improve and know in which direction to make our best decisions. We are sorry for not having heard from you in time to be able to arrange a room change if desired. We are happy to work for you at any time. Indeed, room 004 is a room adapted with special measures for people with disabilities. For this reason it is located on the ground floor but meets the standards of the rest of our double rooms. I am sorry that we have not been able to offer you the experience that we want for all our guests and that you have not shared your expectations with us. We always want to do everything possible in that direction. Please count on us in the future and give us the opportunity to enhance your memories in any way possible. I remain at your disposal personally as hotel manager. T Lopez. Manager.

10 years ago, to celebrate our 40th anniversary, we visited Il Guelfo Bianco and absolutely loved it. We promised ourselves if we ever came back to Florence, we would return to this beautiful boutique hotel. Well, here we are again, on our last night of a four-night stay celebrating our 50th anniversary, and once again Hotel Il Guelfo Bianco reminded us why we loved it so much in the first place. Between the lovely rooms and decor, comfortable beds, delicious included breakfast and the best, friendliest and most helpful staff ever (especial thanks to Marguerite who helped us so many times with cabs and reservations), there is nothing else we could have asked for. We loved the bottle of Prosecco with a hand-written note waiting for us when we got here! The price for all of this care and comfort is super-reasonable as well. Thank you again, Hotel Il Guelfo Bianco, for helping make our visit to Florence so special once again!
