Lovely room in a historic building, very clean, yet modern amenities, gorgeous bathroom and heated towel rack.. only complain is the shower leaked out of the side and flooded the bathroom floor. Rooftop bar overlooking the arno was a highlight, as well as the breakfast. One of the best included hotel breakfasts I've ever had. Perfect location as well. Loved it overall and would definitely return.

While located right beside del Vecchio bridge in the busiest part of the city during a very hot week in June, the Hotel Degli Orafi was an oasis of cool and luxury. The breakfast had lots more options than a typical hotel breakfast. When I had an issue with the key to my room, the front desk staff was very responsive. The negroni I had at the rooftop bar was the best (although most expensive e by far) I had anywhere in Italy. And the avocado toast with smoked salmon made for a perfect light dinner.

What really stood out about this hotel was the staff and the location. We were close to everything in terms of walking and didn't have to call for an uber or taxi once. Most importantly was to help from the staff. My wife is almost 6 months pregnant and specifically for her needs. On the first night the air conditioner in our room was not working well enough to keep the room cold. They gave us some fans but that was only a temporary help and was not a permanent fix. The next night, thankfully, they were able to upgrade us to a suite that was very big with plenty of rooms for all of our luggage. The only critique I would have would be the mattress was very firm, but other than that I could not recommend this hotel more

The room was always very clean and made up, but we never saw anyone come to clean it. They were very efficient.
The bar on the rooftop actually had more food selections than I anticipated. We enjoyed our time up there.
The breakfasts were top-notch. We enjoyed the hot food the most when it was just brought out because it did cool down after a while.
Location was very convenient and close to so much. The rooms are solidly built we heard almost nothing from any other room.
Elevators were a bit slow, but the stairs were very convenient.
The Degli Orafi very much exceeded our expectations.

we stayed from May 1 to May 4 2026. The room was clean. The hotel is next to Uffizz, a short walk to Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, and many more. Close to awesome restaurants. We were upgraded to a suite. When we got to the room we were surprised with free tshirts. The room was a good size with separate sitting area. The shower was awesome with plenty of water pressure. Toilets flushed, no problems. The room amenities were awesome, robes, slippers, lush towels, free water, we had chocolates when we arrived to our room in the evening. The toiletries were luxury. The breakfast was good with a good selection. The staff were awesome. There were 2 issues, the view from our room but not a deal breaker. The smell coming from the bathroom, even with diffuser is very unpleasant at times. The plumbing system in Florence is old, the hotel tries its best to mask it. Air conditioning was great. The way to our room was a little confusing but we mastered it ☺️.

It's always risky to choose a hotel in a foreign country from your computer, but I really lucked out on this choice. Hotel degli Orafi is a class operation in a perfect location. Right next to the Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Museum, blocks from the Duomo and a seemingly endless choice of restaurants. I stayed for one night in a really cute little room. Small, but so well appointed. I left for Tuscany for a week and returned for 2 nights. They upgraded me to a suite which was a real surprise but much appreciated. This room was more Nordic in feel - very modern and clean but not as warm and cozy as my first room.

The staff were all very helpful and professional during my stay and the breakfast buffet was very large and delicious.

Lovely, lovely place. Location is 100% perfect for solo women traveler. Beds are hard but when a mattress topper is put on, they are very comfortable. The only downside is that rugs and upholstery need replaced as they are worn out, and faded. But it was immaculately clean and a robe, slippers and mini refrigerator are supplied. All staff were incredibly accommodating. I hated to leave but want to return someday, and I plan to stay there again.

The hotel was kind enough to store our bags but one was damaged so badly that we had to buy another. We should have taken a photo of each of our bags prior to storing. When we showed the hotel manager he claimed we arrived with bags already damaged and refused to compensate us. It was an unfortunate ending to our stay

My Favorite Hotel in Florence degli Orafi

We had the most amazing stay at this hotel in Florence – everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish!

The location couldn’t be better – right in the heart of the city, just steps away from all the major sights, shops, and restaurants. It was the ideal base for exploring Florence.

The hotel itself was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. The real highlight was the stunning rooftop – with jaw-dropping views of the city and the Duomo, it was the perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. The cocktails were delicious, and the atmosphere was so relaxing.

A huge shoutout to Sonia and Mirko, who were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. They went above and beyond, helping us book a winery tour in Tuscany – they took care of everything, and it turned out to be one of the best days of our trip!

Breakfast each morning was wonderful, with a wide variety of fresh, tasty options to choose from – something for everyone.

Florence is one of our absolute favorite places in Italy, and this hotel made our trip even more special. We’re already dreaming about coming back – and when we do, we’ll definitely stay here again!
