Hotel berhampiran The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Florence

for its price it was okay. Its really close to the tram which you can take to the city center. The shower pressure was barely there and the sink was clogged. AC took forever to change the room temperature. A small nice and simple terrace for smokers, staff was very kind to check my room because i had a feeling i left my hair straightener turned on and they also cleaned the room (we stayed 2 nights so i didnt expect cleaning).

This was my first hostel experience on my own and it was soooo good! I felt very safe, staff super friendly, the room and common areas had everything you could ever need! Locker in the room was huge... I had enough space to keep all my things safe, but you need to bring your own padlock (maybe the hostel could make that clear on the booking? although I was prepared, another lady in the room was not ;)). Location great, very close to station (but far enough away that it wasn't a problem....), very close to the sites, restaurants and bars. I would happily return to an Ostello Bello! Grazie

Room is not crammed as it has two partitioned sections within the room. Two bunk beds as you enter and the other walk in section has 1 bunk bed and a single bed 👍👍👍 The ensuite separate toilet and bathroom is a really good provision too 👍👍👍 Kitchen is basic but has 2 microwave and 2 fridge where you can store some foods. There’s also a restaurant that provides meals with menu variety

Few minutes walk from the station past McDonald’s (exit the station from the left). Hotel is set back so can easily be missed. We had a room for three, one double bed and a low camp bed. Rooms made up everyday and towels changed frequently. Wardrobe with plenty of hangers, safe, complimentary water in fridge. I asked if we could have a kettle and this was no problem. Bathroom quite big, shower cubicle with toiletries. Lovely white, big bath towels. Great location for lots of great restaurants and only minutes away from attractions. Rooms are quite warm but there is air con. Breakfast consists of yogurts, fresh fruit, breads, croissants, scrambled eggs and great coffee. Hotel staff are so helpful, even printed out our tickets for one of our trips. Would stay there again, next time exit the train station from the left!

I had problems trying to find a hotel in Florence at short notice and ended up booking a room at this hotel. First I should explain that this hotel is on the second and third floor of a building. I was given a room by the stairs, which by the way are made of wood I think, so the noise of people going up and down was terrible. There is a lift, but it will only take you from the ground floor to the reception, so if you have a suitcase and you are given a room on the third floor, you have to drag it up the stairs, near to where my room was. My room was big enough, with 2 single beds, and a bathroom almost the same side of the room, painted in red! and very dark, even with the light on. The room and bathroom were clean and my linen and towels were changed every day. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice, eggs, cereal, fresh fruit, cheese, cold meat, etc. Unfortunately the reception area was dirty. There are 2 or 3 settees with a material cover, which has not been washed for some time. The location of this hotel is excellent. 15 mns to the Duomo and 30 mns to the Ponte Vecchio. The guys at the reception were very helpful, polite and one of them, on the night shift, (regrettably I did not ask his name) never stopped smiling. Great service. Would I recommend this hotel? Yes but make sure you are giving a room away from the stairs.

During our stay at Leone Blu Hotel, we were transported to a captivating Renaissance experience. Housed within an actual 1400s castle, the hotel offered a unique and authentic Tuscan ambiance. Our multi-level room featured genuine old art and provided a breathtaking view of the sunset and multiple bridges. The prime location allowed us to easily explore nearby attractions, and the breakfast spread, along with made-to-order cappuccinos, was stellar. The front desk team member's assistance in making local restaurant reservations, thanks to her native Italian fluency, was invaluable. Leone Blu Hotel is a truly exceptional choice for an authentic Tuscan stay. Can’t wait to return!!

We arrived at the hotel pretty late as we were travelling from Rome. Gabriele was pretty prompt and sent us all the necessary information ahead of our arrival as the reception service was until 3pm on Sunday. The room was surprisingly nice and clean, and indeed exceeded our expectation. Even though for just a night I thought this was a pretty good one. Nearby hotel has a nice pasta restaurant Al Peposo, just need to walk about 10 mins. Day time you can just walk towards town areas, you won’t get bored with the surroundings.

If you are looking for a 5+ star hotel experience, Villa San Michele is the place to stay. From the moment that we arrived until our departure, we were treated like royalty. Every reason that one chooses a hotel for, this one excelled in all of them. From the staff, to the room, to the food, to the facilities, to the view, this hotel in unmatched in Florence.

I’ve never written a review before but felt I had to this time. I’ve just returned from holiday staying in this hotel. I booked the holiday in a rush and didn’t check reviews until after I’d booked. Some of the reviews were not great which unsettled me. Please be reassured that this hotel is very nice, very clean and has very helpful staff. It isn’t in the centre of Florence, this can be seen by looking on a map. The distance is walkable but there is also a regular number 14 bus which picks up a minute walk from the hotel and drops off at all the major sites, railway station and tram stop for 1.70 euro. Tickets can be bought at the hotel reception. It’s possible to travel from the airport by tram and then by the bus to the hotel. Because of our very early morning flight time the hotel organised a taxi to the airport and that was 45 euros. I also took a taxi from the main railway station to the hotel one evening and that was 17 euros. There is an excellent selection of beverages and cold food for breakfast. The hot food is a little more limited scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages and toast but perfectly adequate. There is a lovely restaurant next door that sells pizza, pasta and other meals at very reasonable prices. We ate there most nights. There is also a coffee shop and Thai restaurant near by that we didn’t use. There is a reasonably large supermarket a few minutes walk from the hotel as well. The spa and swimming pool is well worth a visit. It costs an additional 20 euros (for two hours). But as my daughter pointed out we’d spend £5 to go to just a swimming pool for an hour at home. The spa has steam room, sauna, salt room and hydro pool. Perfect after a day of sightseeing. It’s secluded from the rest of the hotel and is not busy. I was travelling alone with my young daughter and the hotel suited us perfectly. She found the centre of Florence a little overwhelming and enjoyed coming back to a quieter hotel and loved using the pool and spa in the evenings and then popping next door to the restaurant. If you want to be permanently in the busy hub and centre of Florence then this hotel isn’t for you but if you want to do your sightseeing and then come back on an evening to a more relaxed and chilled atmosphere with the use of a spa then I would recommend this one.

Abbiamo soggiornato in questa struttura per una decina di giorni, nel periodo di ferragosto. Purtroppo la delusione è stata notevole. L’appartamento assegnatoci presentava numerose problematiche. La più evidente era il parquet vistosamente rovinato e “sollevato” nella zona della cucina (ed in prossimità di una delle porte bagno/camera da letto), a causa di infiltrazioni d’acqua dovute alla rottura di un tubo, come ci è stato spiegato nel momento in cui abbiamo segnalato la questione. Non è stato possibile effettuare un cambio; il punto è che – a ns. avviso – quell’appartamento non avrebbe dovuto essere reso disponibile, dato lo stato in cui si trovava. Oltre a questo, scarsa pulizia (muffa e calcare nei bagni, tessuti d’arredo macchiati, muri macchiati, …), un vetro porta-finestra rotto, un wc malfunzionante, aria condizionata malfunzionante. Manutenzione non adeguata anche negli spazi comuni e nella piscina. Bar chiuso. Al check-out, su ns. richiesta, ci è stato concesso uno sconto sul prezzo previsto, questo va detto. Insomma, struttura potenzialmente molto bella, situata in un contesto splendido ed in posizione strategica, ma decisamente lasciata andare. Un gran peccato.
