Barcelo, Florence hotels

"We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was much newer, cleaner, and more spacious than many other hotels we've stayed at in Italy. The style and layout felt more like an American hotel — modern, comfortable, and very functional. The amenities were excellent. We especially appreciated the free laundry facilities, which are rare in Europe. The rooftop bar was a highlight — great atmosphere, excellent drinks, and an incredible view. The pool was small but nicely done, and the entire experience felt easy and relaxing. One thing to note is that the hotel is quite large, and navigating between buildings requires changing elevators. It’s not difficult, but if you’re in a rush, it can be a bit inconvenient. Still, it's a small trade-off for the overall comfort and quality. I think this hotel is best suited for families and younger travelers. While there are elevators and it’s accessible, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for older guests looking for a smaller, more central boutique-style stay. That said, it’s still a much more comfortable option compared to many of the older, smaller hotels in Europe. The location is a bit outside the city center, but still very manageable with public transportation or taxis. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return."

"Walkable to main sites."

"Great location, convenient to train station and Duomo, beds were okay but older. Room was spacious. Staff was friendly and helpful. "

"Such a wonderful hotel, tucked away on a quiet side street right in the heart of historic Florence. The staff were lovely, the breakfast buffet was great (Nutella cups!). The beds were a dream and the bathroom was newly renovated with amazing shower. Would stay here every visit."

"Fantastic room, comfortable bed, amazing shower. A warm welcome from the start. The rooftop is a definite wow factor. Great views, drinks and food. Heaps of different spots around to relax. We also used the restaurant which was good and ate breakfast there every day. The breakfast is the best I’ve ever had. Great selection and good coffee machines. We used the laundry twice and were able to wash,dry and iron our clothes for free!! Love the social hub. It will always be my first choice when visiting a different city. "

"Great Hotel and I will come again "
