Top Arcetri Observatory Hotel Reviews

Hotel Calimala Florence

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel can’t be beat. You are in the heart of everything. The staff is amazing and extremely accommodating. The only suggestion is to request a room in the main building. Our room was in their second building which faces the city street and it was loud on night. The rooms in the main building face inward and do not have this problem. When we said something to the front desk, they immediately looked to move us showing their excellent customer service."

Hotel Albani Firenze

10/10 Excellent

"Unique rooms. Great walking distance to food and shops while also being close to the train station for convince. Everything was clean and lots of warm towels and nice robe! Would definitely stay here again traveling through Florence."

Hotel Paris

10/10 Excellent

"The clean rooms with AC while being within walking distance of everything your average tourist wants to visit made our visit to Florence simple and enjoyable. Of the three hotels we stayed at in Italy, their bed was the most comfortable, but still really firm for us. Overall, it was a very positive experience."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Florence

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent and well run home. Spacious, comfortable and with everything you could wish for. The hotel was handy for getting into Florence, the shuttle bus is particularly good value and also for relaxing once you get back. The staff are all lovely and did everything to make it a great experience. Will be our go to place for future stays in Florence. One minor issue was the combined bath/shower which was a bit tricky to get in and out of to use the shower. The bath also had no plug when we arrived. However minor details for what was a 5 star stay."

Hotel La Scaletta Al Ponte Vecchio

8/10 Good

"First time in Italy and what a great introduction to Florence with this great hotel in the middle of this vibrant city. The staff was fun and amazing giving good advice where to dine at traditional restaurants that is walking distance. The best part is the upstairs indoor outdoor breakfast area with good selection of pastry, eggs, bacon etc even fresh honeycomb honey u can spoon it right out. In the evening outdoor terrace serves drinks and cocktail overlooking the city of Florence for a beautiful sunset. The elevator was a bit small and if u took the stairs was a little confusing but that was part of the charm and character of this hotel that made it special. I truly felt like i was experiencing Italy in this hotel and that's what makes traveling most enjoying."

Hotel Santa Maria Novella

10/10 Excellent

"We loved it. Highly recommend"

Art Hotel Villa Agape

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel, spacious rooms and helpful staff. Especially the people at breakfast and lunch :) the shower could use a little pressure and the hand shower leaks. We also asked to switch out our complimentary champagne bottle for something non alcoholic as we dont drink. But nothing happened. Other than that, good experience!"

Hotel Horto Convento

10/10 Excellent

"Love it"

Plus Florence - Hostel
