Top Arcetri Observatory Hotel Reviews

Hotel Calimala Florence

10/10 Excellent

"The customer service and every staff person was AMAZING, we stay there every time we come to Italy. Outstanding hotel!"

Grand Hotel Baglioni

8/10 Good

"Property was excellently located across from the main train station. Property lobby was modern with a twist of old. Plenty of shopping around and very close to the Duomo short walk. Centrally located to everything. The hotel itself is very old when you get off your floor. It's very dark rooms are old with old furniture. We had to move our room because the toilet didn't work at first then the shower wouldn't drain, but we moved to a better room on the second floor with a brighter shower tub. There are no USB outlets you have to bring a converter which most of the time did not steadily stay in the plug. There must've been hundreds of rooms. They definitely need updating staff was great. The rooftop was a big draw, although Monday through Friday, there is construction, so you can't really go on the rooftop unless you wanna hear drilling. My son had his welcoming party there on a Saturday thank God. Also breakfast was great. No Pool, or gym . Which my husband was pretty upset about, but you can get a day pass at a local gym, but honestly with all the walking we did I really didn't think he needed it. Overall, for the money, I would say the best thing about this hotel was the location other than that next time I think I would prefer a more modern hotel."
