Top Arcetri Observatory Hotel Reviews

Bernini Palace

10/10 Excellent

"Had a fantastic stay at Bernini Palace. Our room was extremely comfortable and beautifully appointed. The public spaces are beautiful. Service was excellent. Breakfast in the beautiful breakfast room was divine. The location of the hotel was central and a stone's throw from Piazza della Signoria. I would absolutely stay here again!"

Plus Florence - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a good budget hotel / motel - private room - good location Excellent value for money within walking distance of most attractions and the main railway station"

Hotel Albani Firenze

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast"

Hotel Paris

8/10 Good

"The hotel is housed in a beautiful building, greater than 500 years old. It is very clean and well maintained, but some of the room amenities leave a little to be desired. The bathtub is very small and has a glass partition which covers just half the space. It takes a little maneuvering to stand under the shower and keep everything else dry. The water pressure was very good. Also, no bathroom counter space to speak of. The furnishings were in keeping with the age and period of the building. Our room was on the fifth floor and the elevator does not go that high so there were lots is steps to be tackled. Our party was ok to manage this but there are many who could not. The staff is there of course to help with bags. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to all our needs. Finally the Hotel Paris is in an amazing location- very close to Santa Maria Novella train station, the Duomo, good restaurants and great shopping."

Grand Hotel Baglioni

10/10 Excellent

Plaza Hotel Lucchesi

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was wonderful. Stayed in the superior room which had a beautiful view over the city. Staff were incredibly helpful and the rooftop bar was fantastic."

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."
