Florence Hotels with Gym

Breakfast can be much better. It is an expensive hotel but their breakfast buffet doesn't have fresh fruit, poor cheese selection and they also don't serve multi grain bread. For some reason, i felt like the staff were serving the Europeans faster. Also, at the hotel reception, the staff will give you incorrect information regarding the city tours and hotels. Please be careful

Even the equipment such as elevators and decorations is really old-fashion, they still provide equivalent service that a 4 stars hotel should have, including room services, reception and breakfast. and it's location is not far away from city centre. However, don't give a high expectations to equipments of this hotel can provide, remember it is a hotel established in around 1960s.

Great hotel with a perfect location. Staffs are friendly. Breakfast spread is good, would rate perfect if you cater more to Asia travellers. After 1 week in Italy, we do miss some Asia breakfast spread. My family love the cozy area on the top floor.

It was our first time at Palazzo Castri 1874. And we would come again, when we are in Florence the next time. The Location in the centre of Florence is just great. Everything is in walking distance. Even the main station. And nearby you can find a lot of restaurants. If you travel by car you can book a convenient and safe parking service. The rooms are nice and with everything provided you need. And the garden is awesome. We loved it.

The hotel is quaint, and it is an attraction in itself. Service is very high. Serving 5-star level. Breakfast was very good. Great location. It is only 200 meters from Baihua Cathedral. About 15 minutes walk from the ancient bridge.

Breakfast is ok The environment is ok The location is very good Near the train station The keys are old The facilities are a bit old The price is too expensive The price is not high No welcome fruit

Perfect location for our second time in Florence. Loved this authentic, gritty neighbourhood. Since we were driving the ease of the attached subterranean garage was a blessing. So user friendly which ensured a totally seamless check in. The “Hell” themed garden room was epic! Creative interior design and a large space for all our suitcases. We loved listening to the birdsong in the mornings. We dined in the restaurant one night which was amazing!! I had a celeriac dish that was so delicious I wish the portion had been three times the volume! We’d been driving around Italy for five weeks by this point so for vegetables to feature on a menu in this way was much appreciated.

Compared with Rome and Venice, Florence has much better accommodation conditions. You can stay in a four-star hotel at the same price. The rooms are spacious, the price is worth the service, welcome wine is given upon check-in, and there are many buffet breakfast options. It takes 10 minutes to walk from the train station to the hotel with luggage. It is in a very quiet community, surrounded by many hotels. There are also local taverns and Carrefour within a short walk. It takes 15-20 minutes to walk to various attractions, except for Piazzale Michelangelo to watch the sunset, which is far away and takes about 20 minutes by taxi.

This hotel was brilliant. My friend and I came to celebrate her 44th and can I say the hotel is NOT full of students as some reviews have said, there all a huge range of demographics and nationalities. The hotel itself is so cute and well decorated. Very kitsch. The staff were SUPERB! I feel bad that I can’t remember their names but I do remember Francesca from reception. What a girl! She helped us get dinner reservations, what bars to go to and had a wicked humour! From the pool bar - Candi. So chatty and sweet! Breakfast was brilliant. Not sure what some people are complaining about? You’re not going to get a 100000 calorie American breakfast. This is Europe. We had scrabbled eggs on toast each morning. There are sausages and bacon if you want. The. We had some fruit and yogurt, followed by a pain au chocolate or a croissant and jam. I usually had a bread and cheese as well! More than enough to get you going. Lavazza coffee too. We went to go out in our first Friday and as we came down there was a DJ and a free bar with popcorn, pretzels, and crisps as the hotel is very inclusive and community focused. The hotel is also very environmentally aware so to read reviews about people moaning that their towels and bedding weren’t changed- please! Nobody and I mean nobody fainted their towels and sheets every day in our own houses. It’s once or twice a week. The damage to the environment and the increased costs to hotel rooms are as a direct result of people like YOU. My only little niggle was that there was a fabulous Nespresso machine but the coffee was not filled daily, however a quick call to reception and we had some brought to the room. We didn’t use the pool due to some bad weather and plans in the day but we sat up there having a drink and people had clearly been swimming so I don’t think that’s an issue either. The view from the pool bar is UNREAL. I literally mean it’s spectacular. They have games such as table tennis and fusball and swings in the entrance which my friend and I had a go on after a tipsy evening. I’m won’t talk about how amazing Florence is as a city as that’s a whole other review. But this hotel is fantastic as long as you’re fun and are open to a new experience

The Calimala is perfectly situated to all of the sites in Florence. But, more than that, I can't say enough great things about the staff at Calimala. I (don't judge me) decided to drive from Positano to Florence. When I arrived in Florence the streets were so busy and I was lost. I phoned the hotel and was fortunate to speak with Lavinia who stayed on the phone with me and guided me all the way to the hotel. It took quite awhile because of all of the one way streets. Jessica was also extremely helpful in the morning to return the car. She spoke with the taxi driver so, that he knew I would follow him to return the car and assisted with getting the driver and anything else we needed. Stephano was also extremely helpful and courteous. We went to the Angel Restaurant Rooftop each night for drinks and one night for dinner. There George was our ”person”. He ensured we had a seat and took care of our drink orders with professionalism, courtesy, and a sense of humor. Thank you to the entire team at Calimala! I am forever grateful and happy that I chose to stay with you all. I will return and stay again. Warm regards, Beth
