8/10 Good

"The area does not feel so safe at night. A lot of by standers on the sidewalk."

Bernini Palace

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about this hotel. They had world class service from morning to night. We had a wonderful introduction to the hotel and a personal escort to our room. The breakfast was lovely, with a nice selection of premium products, and a beautiful dining room with china. We highly recommend Hotel Bernini, it was the perfect hotel in a perfect location."

Hotel Albani Firenze

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, however the shutters were difficult to open leaving the room dark for the duration of our stay. The staff were ok we didn't really have much to do with them Breakfast was ok, however some fresh cut fruit rather than a fruit salad would have been nicer. Good selection of hot and cold foods. The air-conditioning is excellent it kept the room comfortable for our whole stay. We loved that there was an old fashioned key to open our room door. Overall it was a good stay."

Hotel La Scaletta Al Ponte Vecchio

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel La Scaletta exceeded our expectations! Everything about the property - location, amenities, breakfast, room, and helpful staff - was excellent. I had stayed in the hotel (and loved it) decades before but it has ascended from a pensione to a true hotel. I hope to return one day!"

Hotel Pendini

8/10 Good

"I can’t say enough about this hotel. It was my favourite on our trip. The room was huge, it’s in a great area within walking distance to all the great sites and clean. However, there was a negative. The hotel backs in to Piazza Republicca. This, at first, was a positive however, on some nights there is someone singing in the square. I would normally love this but they sing some nights to 1 am!! It’s impossible to sleep until that is finished. I can understand the singing but it should definitely stop by 10 or 11. The hotel has tried to stop this but are not able to. Other than that, this is a top hotel for us."
