The room (and bathroom) was a bit small, but that is to be expected in Florence.

Due to a delayed flight, we arrived outside of the requested check-in period (3-8pm), but we kept in touch with the staff via Booking.com, and they were very gracious and stayed until we arrived (almost 9:45pm). The hotel is on the second floor of a gorgeous old building right in the heart of Florence, and is a close walk to everything. Our room was very quiet and clean (with a beautiful fresco on the ceiling), and the air-conditioner worked well enough that we didn't suffer during the heat wave. The staff was also happy to order us a regular taxi to get to the airport (which arrived in 5 minutes). We asked them how much we should expect to pay, and the taxi bill was within a few euros of their estimated amount (€34, which was much better value than a private driver!) A tip for those who are coming from the airport; when we arrived, there wasn't a single taxi at the airport, and it was impossible to call one via Uber (it would not connect us to a driver). There was also a lineup of about 100 people waiting for a taxi. It would have taken us all night! Either pre-arrange for a taxi to pick you up, OR, you can also take the tram. Just follow the instructions provided by the hotel on this site. It was very easy, and I think it cost us €3.50 for two people.

The location was perfect, step outside and everything is there. The team are amazing and so helpful. Even though you were right there the room was nice and quiet.

The room was too warm; wished it could have been cooler.

The room was spacious and beautiful, from the faux fireplace to the painted ceiling.

To be aware that lift access to the property is limited and you will need to manage some stairs.

Great location, stylish place, clean and comfy rooms. Friendly welcome and good staff.

Nice hotel and very friendly staff. Located right in the city center so we were able to enjoy night walks around Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore when it's not crowded. If you open windows it will get noisy but with air conditioner it was very pleasant.

There is no lobby at the street level and a flight of stairs to climb before getting the lift to the reception. We knew about this before making our reservation, so it was not a big negative for us. We travel lightly and take the stairs when possible anyway, but this might be a physical and logistical challenge if you have heavy bags and don't do well with stairs.

Fantastic location. Very helpful and friendly Concierge. Spectacular room with lots of space and storage. Bathroom was largest and most elegant of the many stays we had in Italy over three weeks. Shower had body sprays and was very large by European standards. Great sleeping in a very quiet and dark room with excellent A/C. Charm of an historic house converted to a boutique hotel.

Getting to the hotel driving your own vehicle is very interesting. I would suggest using a taxi. The owners did have a garage that could come pick up our car at a very reasonable rate.

Wonderful Stay at the Renaissance Hotel in Florence We had a fantastic stay at the Renaissance Hotel, perfectly located in the heart of Florence. Everything was within easy walking distance, making it easy to explore the city. Our room was spacious, very clean, and featured a large, comfortable bed. The bathroom was excellent — plenty of hot water and great water pressure. What truly made our stay special was the hospitality. The owners and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They helped us find some amazing local restaurants and made us feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone

Excellent location, it was easy to find the hotel. It is a small hotel, on the first floor of the building. After a few steps there is an elevator. In a very old building, there is a fine contrast between frescoes and modernity. Marvellous bathroom, good sized room and comfortable bed. The staff was very nice. We would definitely return next time.

The only thing I would recommend is to provide bath robes for the Turkish sauna room.

We got the room with the Turkish sauna. It was so wonderful to have that to relax to every day.

To be honest I booked a disability accessible hotel, it said has elevator and it does, but at the end of the stairs. My mom should claim stairs so that was a little bit of a boomer, but! The accommodation were so cute

Was very cute, romantic and cozy vibe. Spacious and confortble

The hair dryer wasn't working in the room, but that's about the only complaint we've had.

The room with a turkish sauna is stunning! Highly recommended for romantic stays.

The position of this hotel is fantastic (2 min from piazza della Signoria) and the rooms and reception welcome the guests into a mid-eve building. Decorations and paintings reflect the soul of this amazing city, Firenze. The rooms are equipped with needed facilities and there is also a boiler for preparing a hot beverage. The room was clean and functional. The sounds from the side street can be heart, but it is part of the city and hotel charm!

It was exactly what we needed as a base as only staying for 1 night. So nothing fancy, doorway from street , up a flight of stairs up to a door for the hotel. Almost like entering an apartment. But it was traditionally decorated, clean and friendly.

Traditional hotel in a perfect location in a side road. No grand entrance but a lovely welcome from staff. Close to cafes bars restaurants. Was quiet in our room , lovely shower and comfortable beds. No breakfast but there are so many places to go to so not a problem.
