The hotel was lovely, the tram line was just outside the door, Great for getting into central Florence and to the rail station. It was very clean and the staff were helpful. Only down side was the breakfast, it was the same thing everyday and some items were running low and there is no fridge in the bedroom to keep water chilled. Otherwise perfect stay

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Ruby Hotel—without a doubt one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. As a family that travels frequently and has stayed at many wonderful properties around the world, we can honestly say this hotel stands out above the rest.

Our room was exceptionally spacious for a family of four. The high ceilings and split-level layout created a unique sense of openness that made the room feel even larger. Everything was spotless, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed, and the bathroom was a great size as well.

What truly made our stay special, however, was the staff. Every member of the team was warm, welcoming, professional, and always greeted us with a smile. A special shoutout to Vincent and the entire reception team for going above and beyond to make us feel at home.

Thank you all for such a memorable stay. Keep doing what you’re doing—we can’t wait to come back!

Staff were very nice. They have a room called Galley that you can go get your own water, hot water, tea or coffee and sparkling water. I love the idea, but unfortunately it partially stopped working. We couldn’t get still water. It just stopped working and kept giving us sparkling water instead. But overall recommended and I think everyone was very nice. Everything was very clean.

The room was great with a good view out to the plaza. The space was more than adequate for our family of four.

We had a shower drainage issue in our bathroom so that was bit of an inconvenience. The staff offered to move us into another room but we were already settled in and opted for the repairs the next morning.

No additional discounts or promotion was offered for the issue.

Overall still pleased the property and only 10 minutes via tram from the Florence train station. It’s bit of a walk into the main city center but preferred a location closer to the tram.

The hotel is relatively new and very modern. The outside terrace was lovely and quiet, although no view. It is across the street from the streetcar stop which would take you to the centre of Florence in 3 stops. We walked a few times but after walking all day- take the streetcar back! The breakfast was ok but no hot options. Some evenings there was live music which was nice. Overall, a clean and modern hotel but away from the city centre.

We had a fantastic stay in this hotel in Florence. The room exceeded our expectations—it was spacious, bright, spotless, and very comfortable. We especially appreciated how well-maintained and inviting it felt after a full day of exploring the city.

The location was another major highlight. Most of Florence's main attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas were within easy walking distance, which made getting around incredibly convenient.

Overall, this hotel offered the perfect combination of comfort, cleanliness, and location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay while visiting Florence.

No fridge in room; no coffee/tea in room and galley coffee was instant to be made with a hot water dispensing faucet - surprising for Italy! No ironing board in room. Breakfast buffet quite good but expensive - a nearby caffe is an alternative. Room was large and modern and clean.

Hotel was clean and well maintained. We picked this hotel because it had a loft with a bed for our daughter, so we could all be in the same room. Just a personal preference, we did not like the open concept bathroom which offers little privacy. Also, the shower leaked from the other side of the glass leaving water puddles trailing out. The vibe of the hotel was very cool and we liked the security it offered. Travel was easy with a tram right outside of hotel and a taxi stop.

Our stay at The Ruby Bea Hotel in Florence was a really great experience overall. The location couldn’t have been better—everything felt easily accessible, which made exploring the city so much more enjoyable.

What stood out the most was the staff. They were incredibly kind and consistently helpful, whether it was giving directions, offering thoughtful recommendations, or helping us arrange a taxi. That level of service made a big difference and made us feel well taken care of throughout our stay.

Breakfast was another highlight, especially if you’re trying to keep things a bit on the healthier side. There were solid options that didn’t feel overly heavy, which was a nice way to start each day.

All in all, a comfortable and welcoming place to stay, especially if you value great service and a convenient location.

Highly recommend for solo travelers. It’s easily walkable to the main attractions and the Tram is right across the street. The staff were EXCEPTIONAL! The rooms are spacious and bright. I felt super safe the entire time and there’s a 24 hour bar in the lobby which I utilized every night just to watch my shows and sip on cocktails as a nightcap. The only con was that the towels still had makeup stains when I arrived. But to be fair I 100% believe they were washed and clean but some makeup doesn’t come out of towels so I understand (it happens to me at home)). But you can easily request new ones. I highly highly recommend this hotel.

We did not get a quiet room, which we had asked for. So we were moved to another room. It was smaller but the hotel would not reduce our rate. When we asked to at least have the breakfast comped they refused.

That room then shorted out our hairdryer at a loss of $200. No one at the hotel could then fix our plugs, they all stopped working, we had no way to use accessories or charge our devices, so we had to move to another room.

That room had no hot water for showers (discovered after we both had to take cold showers) and we were then told the entire hotel's water heater system was on the fritz.

My girlfriend had a migraine, the bar menu was very limited, she wanted a snack, but all 3 floor galleys where they had snacks were out of order.

We left a day early. To the hotel's credit, they refunded our last night that we had paid for but didn't stay. .
