Hotel degli Orafi

Perfect location, couldn’t have asked for better. Hotel was very well presented and the addition of complimentary wine & t-shirts in our room as well as a surprise bottle of Asti on my wife’s birthday just made it stand out as a Hotel that really looks after it’s guests. The staff were all very kind, welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Stunning views from the rooftop bar, a lovely place to relax and enjoy a coffee or Aperol. Would most definitely recommend staying here and hope to return in the near future.

location, history, proximity from the attractions of Firenze, breakfast was very good. captain at breakfast was an exceptional person

The location of this hotel is what attracted us in the first place, but we got so much more than that. This is a lovely hotel and offers a peaceful refuge from the busy streets of Firenze in August. It is walking distance to all the main locations - literally 1 minute from Ponte Vecchio - so is ideal for tourists with a short visit. The staff were delightful and helpful at all times. Most impressive is the rooftop bar on Level 5 with a breathtaking view to il Duomo on one side and over the Arno on the other. Highly recommend this hotel and would choose to stay here on my next visit to Firenze.

Staff were always happy, smiling, polite and helpful, particularly Max on reception and also the team leader on breakfast duty. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was immaculately set and furniture was lovely. We also enjoyed our own private terrace. There was a very good range of breakfast choice, including milk alternatives for coffee and tea, The location was simply excellent, you're in the centre of everything with all the museums and the best restaurants within walking distance. Despite how busy it was, the room was well insulated from the noise outside.

A warm welcome at reception on arrival and every time I passed by, coming or going, as for location it could not be bettered, sitting along side of the river, almost within touching distance to the Uffizi Museum. Having been warned about the queues, I decided to have an early breakfast and avoid them, only to find out that the queue was 6 people long and not only that but they did an early bird ticket at the state owned museums and only charged 12 euros. So glad I didn't bother with any sort of pass. 70-80 museums in 3 days, not at all practical. I was there for 7 days so that would have meant 2 3 day passes approximately 160 euros. The hotel was a few hundred years only but you would have to be told this because there were obvious signs of this,, the breakfast dining room was the old ballroom running from the front of the hotel to the back and what a magnificent way your start your day the decor was amazing, and with views over the river which runs along side. the breakfast choice were endless and once again lovely friendly staff' The bedroom was large with plenty of walk round room, the bed firm but very comfortable, a large wardrobe with plenty of hangers and drawers and a safe in it. A mini bar build in under the work surface of the fairly large desk.
