Florence Hotels

Extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. The breakfast was very good and the lady who served it was lovely. We especially enjoyed the 'happy hour' between 6.30 and 7.30pm when wine and nibbles were available to all the guests. The hotel is so close to all amenities - literally a five minute walk to the Duomo and the centre of Florence. The indoor food market is 100 metres away - and a great experience. The city is very walkable - we were there for five days and visited all of the sights. In addition, we took a bus to Sienna (very cheap by local bus) for one of the days.

Great place positioned centrally to visit the many historical sites in Florence and shops. Very helpful staff. Varied range of food for breakfast. Quiet inside hotel. Some noise from nearby club/bar when closes so try a room at the back of the hotel if this bothers you. Over the nearby bridge to great ice cream on the right hand corner!

We love Firenze, and the Anglo American makes the city easily accessible as well as providing a fine start to each day with a delicious and varied breakfast and a comfortable relaxation after all the galleries, restaurants and shops. Try the Esselunga supermarket across the bridge for snacks. Walk into town beside the Arno. Great views of the Ponte Vecchio. Visit the church of Ognissanti to see Botticelli's works of art and pay tribute at his grave in the far right chapel. Our motto is: if a church is open, visit it - there will be treasures inside! Most churches do close at lunchtime so make your visits early. All the museums and galleries open at 8:15 a.m. which is the best time to have the place to yourself (almost!).

Excellent hotel with outstanding staff who but their guests first, as nothing was too much trouble for them. Rooms were spotlessly clean and well presented including the public areas and corridors. Could not fault anything. I would wholeheartely recomment this hotel if visiting Florence

A solid three star hotel. Very clean. Spotless, in fact. The staff were very nice.

You enter the building through a hard to find door and are faced with 66 steps (and no elevator) to the "lobby." The stairwell is filthy, stained, and with peeling paint. The "lobby" is actually just a desk and enough room to move in and out of the entry door. The room, actually, was OK; nothing special, but OK. There is an advertised rooftop terrace, but you need to climb a winding staircase another 16 steps or so to get there. I am 6', 180 lbs; if I were any bigger I would not have fit in the stairway! The breakfast (included) was rather meager, but fresh and certainly adequate. If you are not in shape, don't consider this place. Hauling 2 suitcases up 66 steps is no picnic. There was no help available coming or going. I would not go back at any price.

The J and J was a lovely hotel. We had a wonderful time.

Located about 4kms outside the city in a pleasant area, the hotel has covered secure parking and the bus stops outside the hotel. The reception staff could not have been more helpful every time we asked for anything. She spoke English very well when my little bit of Italian failed. The hotel has been renovated recently to a very high standard and is well worth a visit as a base to explore the city. The hot and cold breakfast buffet is in a modern glass room adjacent to the swimming pool, which in March was only good for improving the view. I would definitely reccomend the hotel and staff to anyone wanting a good hotel at an excellent price.

We stayed at the Eurhotel for our last night in Italy--we were flying out of Florence Peretola the following morning at about 6am. It was very close to the airport, about 1/2 mile. The front desk agent was very nice and accommodating. He barely spoke english, but was very patient with our questions. Our room was large, clean and quiet. The bed was so comfortable; it was hard to get out of bed for our transatlantic flight the next morning. We checked out easily and quickly the next morning. All in all, it was the perfect end to our Italian adventure. It's a little far from downtown Florence, so I wouldn't suggest staying there if you plan to sight see each day. But for travelers who need easy access to the airport, it's great!

This hotel is in the heart of the historic area close to all the sights. It is in a charming neighborhood with affordable restaurants and shops. The room was very clean and we could see the top of the Duomo from our window. The bathroom was newly renovated. The staff was helpful and spoke English. The continental breakfast was good. It was on the second floor, which in Italy is the third floor, so be prepared to carry your luggage up.
