It was a fantastic day. First, the hotel is in a great location - just two blocks from the Domo. It’s in a quiet, charming neighborhood away from all the tourist congestion yet close to everything. The hotel itself is beautiful and charming. Since it’s so small, with only 10 rooms, it feels more like a beautifully decorated home, rather than a commercial hotel. But what’s really special is the staff! Every single team member is wonderful and charming and helpful. But I think what’s so special is that they work as a cohesive team making your stay pleasant and easy and as enjoyable as humanly possible. Their CAFÉ in the lobby is wonderfully delicious with fresh goods and there’s lots of great restaurants in the neighborhood. It’s important to book early because given the limited number of rooms they sell out quickly.

What a beautiful hotel right in the middle of Florence. We arrived very late in the evening and the night reception lady was so lovely and helpful. The room was just beautiful. The bathroom was so spacious and great shower. Our room had a gorgeous balcony. We didn’t get much sleep because of our late arrival but the bed was so comfortable i wish we could have had more hours in the bed. We did get up for breakfast and it was so good. The coffee and scrambled eggs were the best i had on our vacation. The pistachio croissant was delicious. The staff was helpful with helping us plan out our day. Both my husband and 16 year old all agreed that this was the best.
We will definitely be returning the next time we are in Florence.

I had a wonderful stay at A Glimpse Hotel in Florence. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff and immediately felt well taken care of. The hotel is quaint, spotless, and beautifully maintained, which made it feel both cozy and comfortable.

The location is perfect centrally located and easy to walk everywhere, yet still quiet and relaxing. Breakfast was really good, with plenty of fresh options to start the day right.

Overall, this hotel felt like a hidden gem. I truly enjoyed my stay and will absolutely be staying here again the next time I’m in Florence.

This place went above and beyond my expectations. The staff is incredible. They have coffee and breakfast in the morning and even called a car very early in the am for the airport and somoene was at the desk and provided a \"to go\" breakfast. It was truly something special. The staff is really great they even offered suggestions for shopping and food. The rooms are nice, especially for Florence where you can get an unsuspecting mix due to the old properties and the location is right in the middle of everything so can easily walk to the Duomo or all the historical sites. I 100% reccomend this hotel. Only thing to note is that the bath tub in my room was quite tall and someone on the shorter stature or with disabilities would have trouble getting in and out. Not sure if this was just my room or not, but definitely ask the staff in advance if concerned. Otherwise, 10/10 and will absolutely go back next time I am in florence.

I had to check in late on a sunday night, and I was a bit worried about how it would go, but the experience was fantastic from the moment I arrived. There was someone at the front desk ready to greet me, which was such a relief after a long day of travel. To top it off, they offered me complimentary champagne at check-in—a wonderful touch that made me feel welcome right away!

The staff also arranged a late checkout for me, which was incredibly helpful and allowed me to enjoy my stay without feeling rushed. Overall, the service was outstanding, and the little extras really made a difference. I would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back! Location is perfect as well!

Glimpse Hotel is in an excellent location—walking distance to all the main sights, making it ideal for first-time visitors. The central setting does mean it can be noisy, but that’s expected in such a vibrant area. The service was outstanding—staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent with great variety and quality. A few drawbacks to note: the mattress wasn’t very comfortable, the shower is inside a high bathtub which can be difficult to get in and out, and there’s no real lobby area to relax. Overall, a great base for exploring Florence.

Wonderful experience! Very nice hotel, with great staff! Ovidio was just amazing, he welcomed us, showed us everything we needed to know about Florence on the map, got us reservations for a guided tour of the Acadamia, made dinner reservations, and was so very helpful. At breakfast, Yulia was so nice and friendly. All the staff were helpful, but these two were just exceptional!! The hotel is very nice, clean, comfortable, updated, walkable to most everything in Florence, and not on an overly crowded street. We would definatley recommend and hope to return.

Best hotel staff ever

Really cool, modern meets Renaissance property and conveniently located to the Duomo. The cafe in the lobby area is a beautiful and tasty place for a break between sites. However, the best aspect by far are the staff - I have NEVER met hotel staff this genuinely friendly, thoughtful, and going above and beyond the way that Mario, Alina, and Yuliia do. I've stayed at 5 star hotels that can't compete with this team.

Marta and her staff were perfecto! They were professionals when it came to hospitality. The hotel is small and quaint but that is to its advantage. The room was modern, clean, and comfortable. The front desk staff - led by Marta - were always available to offer tips and directions. And Yulia behind the bar was ready with a drink or a coffee whenever you needed one. I recommend staying at the Glimpse (which I assume is named because you can get a glimpse of the Duomo just a short distance away) anytime you’re in Florence.

The best is that it’s super walkable to restaurants and many sightseeing locations. They offer valet parking for an extra fee which is definitely needed if you have a car!
