Hotels in Santa Maria Novella, Florence

The hotel couldn’t be better. Participants have their own apartment which comes with a fully equipped kitchen. Even if you are on your own, pop for a one bedroom for a extra room. This is especially nice for a long stay. I had a room on the ground level. It opened up to the patio which has a nice sitting area and tables and chairs. I often took my lunch out there, or a drink after a hard day touring in historic Florence. People do smoke out there, but not very much. The rooms are clean, clean, clean and there is housekeeping service every three days. Linens are bright white. The property is located a block away from the T2 Tram Line which gets to the historic area in about 10 minutes. I would stay here again.

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

Although this is a beautiful hotel, quaint and nice rooms, that is where it stops. Whilst travelling around Europe on business for a few months, I spent 2 nights at this hotel. Yes, check in staff are warm and welcoming, and the rooms are nice and quaint… however, for both days I was there, bitterly cold showers with no hot water in the morning. And, after changing rooms. Checking out I complained, and the check out clerk just wanted to take my money. No discount, or compensation. And, he said, I will let the General Manager know tomorrow. Frankly, very poor indeed. Yes, hot water problems do happen - but not twice over 2 days, and then getting rubbish customer service. Why would I ever stay at this hotel again! Probably won’t unless it is my only option… lets see if the Hotel sees this review and makes it up!!!

Location - convenient distance to visit the old city and the largest attractions of Florence. The area is quiet and quiet. Before the hotel there were many free public paid parking spaces. Cleanness The room was cleaned quite well, but the equipment, walls and floors are not long-changed/renovated. Support The reception was open when we arrived at about 14, but at night and at night there was no one. There is only information with the phone number with the message to contact in emergency cases. Comforts. Air conditioning is very poor - we were just in the heat and it turned out that the air conditioning in our room is ineffective. After the announcement we received another room where the climate worked better, however, we still failed to cool the room to low temperatures. In the second room, the shower looked like a small sailing boat (before the toilet muscle itself, so you could take a shower on the seating ...).

A stay at Residenza degli Speziali places you in the heart of Florence, steps from Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio. This guesthouse is 0.1 mi (0.2 km) from Ponte Vecchio and 0.2 mi (0.3 km) from Uffizi Gallery.Guests will find features like a virtual front desk.Make yourself at home in one of the 5 air-conditioned rooms featuring flat-screen televisions. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Private bathrooms with showers feature rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries. Conveniences include safes and desks, and housekeeping is provided daily.

The location is perfect, it's all very close to a few steps. The staff is very available and kind to feel like at home. The only difficulty can be a staircase to get to the lift, but with the baggage they help you. My room was a little small but with all the comforts, only the light in the bathroom is a little low you can't see well to stay, but with chromotherapy effects. I'll return 😊

We stayed in the Medici Suite: - sadly there is only one! It was a decent size, with sitting room, bedroom, bathroom and an additional WC. SO quiet in the heart of a very busy street, with lovely views over the rooftops and almost complete silence at night with the gentle calls of the swifts each morning. Bed was huge and comfortabe, and the ambience of the suite was clean, smart, and functional. A range of teas, and Nespresso machine provided. Reception staff were very welcoming and helpful, and the breakfasts were delicious, - gorgeous buffet with exceptional pastries and cakes, fresh fruit, breads, tea/coffee, and a range of cooked options. Service was faultless throughout. 2 minutes from the train station and airport tram, and 2 minutes from the Duomo. If you are looking for a central haven with space and some peace and quiet after a busy day of sightseeing, this place is definitely for you.

The location is very good with close access to transport. Breakfast is excellent and the owners and staff could not be more helpful. Highly recommended and excellent value for money. Thank you Elisabeta and staff for providing us with a very enjoyable stay; I am sure the majority of your guests will agree with me.

We spent 3 night in 3 different cities on our trip. This was our favorite hotel on our trip. Beds were super comfy and the place was very clean. The staff went above and beyond for us as we asked for recommendations for restaurants and they made reservations for us and sent us text messages once they were confirmed. The best part about this place is the courtyard. Gorgeous. We would grab a drink at the bar and then go out to the courtyard to enjoy it. There is a hot tub out there as well but we did not use it. Bartenders were all very friendly. The location is perfect. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle but more than close enough to walk to everything, which we did. No need for public transportation to get to and from the hotel. High recommend!

Suite spotless, beds comfortable staff excellent, price good for location, the closer into the center the more you pay so a 5 minute walk is okay with me. Train station within walking distance. I would stay here again. Loved the water cooler in the lobby, reduce reuse and help save our environment, thank you
