Top Arcetri Observatory Hotel Reviews

The Social Hub Florence Belfiore

8/10 Good

"I loved that the hotel was a one stop shop. From the restaurant and cafe to the gym to the roof top with food options and the pool. It even has a laundry and spaces to work. It is a little learning curve getting around the hotel, but once you get used to it it’s pretty simple. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star was our room and certain spaces had a weird cat smell. We realized it wasn’t just in our room and it only seemed to happen in the bathroom and the water was turned on. Outside of that this place was perfect and highly recommended."

Art Hotel Villa Agape

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property. The restaurant and breakfast are great. Rooms are cozy and quaint. To consider there shuttle is only to get you to the bridge and walk or cab from there to wherever you’re going. It’s the distance from places such as stores restaurants be prepared for any extra needs of expenses such as bottled water or snacks. Make sure the wine card you prepay for self serve you return for credit it’s $10 a glass and it’s about three sips. But beautiful place and great for quiet and privacy."

Hotel Albani Firenze

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for 5 nights. Everything here was very nice. Our maid was very sweet and spoke rapidly to us in Italian thinking that we understood every word 😂. The main reason I rated this 4 and not 5 stars was that the breakfast buffet never changed. It was good…but got boring."

The Social Hub Florence Lavagnini

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot"

Hotel Horto Convento

10/10 Excellent

"Would stay there again."

Hotel Villa Betania

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay, however I was on the third floor without an elevator to help with luggage , it was a narrow staircase and difficult to carry luggage."

Hotel Santa Maria Novella

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good for room , staff , breakfast and location."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Florence

8/10 Good

"Everything was great, staff were helpful. A couple comments I do have are: One of the staff let themselves into our room in the morning while I was still sleeping then saw me and said “sorry” and turned around and walked out. Weird. Also the room had a lot of thick cob webs and didn’t seem that they dust the room. Other than that, it was a very nice room and clean comfortable beds. Handicap accessible room needs some type of shower curtain to contain the water or the whole bathroom becomes a shower and it doesn’t dry which can be very slippery and everything is wet in there. The rest of the hotel was very nice and updated."

Grand Hotel Cavour

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully appointed hotel with an exceptional staff."
