Top Florence Hotel Reviews
The Social Hub Florence Lavagnini
"Lovely stay. Will visit again."
Bernini Palace
"The entire stay was perfect, from start to finish. This hotel is to the image of Florence: beautiful and steeped in history. All staff were professional, competent and very pleasant. Our room was comfortable and the all-linen sheets? Dreamy. The breakfast was delicious and suited all tastes. We could not have asked for a better location to explore all that Florence has to offer."
Palazzo Montebello
"This hotel is STUNNING! Beautiful interior and exterior design and furnishing. Very close to the train station and buses are easily accessible. The staff are also very professional."
The Hoxton, Florence
"I loved the hotel decor! And the hotel staff were great! Check-in/check-out was a breeze. Super helpful and knowlegeable staff. The room was a bit small but cozy, clean and a very comfy bed. There is minimal area to store/hang clothing. There was a mini safe in the room. The bar fridge included water and cream for coffee/tea which was provided at no additioal charge. The patio area is quite lovely with a variety of sitting areas, umbrellas and misters. The restaurant staff was great but the food is very pricey and not fabulous. This hotel is located within walking distance to restaurants, shops, farmacias. It was about a $15 EU cab fare from the Florence Santa Maria Novella train station to the hotel."
Hotel Paris
"Property is an older but well maintained building. Rooms are large and bathrooms are renovated. Staff is very helpful and polite. Only problem is that the air conditioning system wasn't adequate during the very hot August days and nights. Otherwise, a fine hotel."
IQ Hotel Firenze
"Amazing hotel!"
Radisson Blu Hotel, Florence
"We werenโt sure whether to book our 2 night stay based on other reviews, but we are so glad that we did. We arrived by car and there was ample free parking on site. A car park in Florence was recommended by the lobby staff that was a 15 minute drive and had lots of spaces and not insanely priced, the centre was then a 10 minute walk from there. The hotel was spotless, easy check in, big room. Pool was great, the kids loved the splash area and there was even a FREE arcade room in the basement! The kids loved it. Breakfast was a god buffet with plenty for me as vegetarian and gluten free bread etc for my wife. Plenty of fruit and pastries for the kids! The beds were large and comfortable, air con great. Room has a fridge and some free waters which was a nice touch along with a coffee machine. A really good stay, well priced and I wouldnโt hesitate to stay here again if coming to Florence. There is a shuttle bus that you can book a seat on too, but we didnโt use this as had the car. Great hotel"
Hotel Atlantic Palace
"The time I stayed at this hotel it had a rating of 9.6 out of 10. This score is not good enough for what I experienced. I have traveled the world and I stayed in hotels from no stars to world elite hotels. This is the only hotel that deserves 10 out of 10."
Hotel Delle Nazioni
"Outstanding service! I had a travel crisis and needed to figure out how to get an emergency passport. Samuele, at reception went completely above and beyond to help me research the process, print paperwork, and figure out my next steps. Exceptional staff and highly recommended!"
