Vicky
Excellent staff. 24 hour front desk. Breakfast was included, not an extra expense. It is on a quiet street about a 15 minute walk from most of the museums and historic sites . We arrived early and our luggage was stored until we returned at the correct sign in time.
Dennis
The room and bathroom clean.A charming small hotel . The staff were pleasant and accommodating and helpful. We enjoyed the breakfasts and the pleasant service. The location was great on a major bus route but quiet. Has an outdoor courtyard.
Eric
Very friendly staffs. Clean room. Has nice complimentary breakfast buffet daily. Very nice and attentive staffs. You can walk to Duomo and other major attractions with ease, about 20-25 minutes. Along the way, you will come across restaurants, bars and coffee shops where locals go. Also there's nice pizzeria right next door. We had great experience staying in this hotel.
Paula
The hotel is very clean. The towels and sheets were spotless! The staff were very friendly and helpful.
paula
The room was clean, service is great. I like the garden we're you can seat an eat something. I don't know if they have elevator because I stayed on the first floor. The shower didn't have a lot of pressure. The beds were very comfortable
Kurt
We had a great stay. Comfortable, well maintained facility. Easy walks to the busy center of Florence.
Lilly
This was an excellent place to stay. Positioned as an easy walk to the piazzas and the heart of Florence but not without local charm! The staff were top rate and always friendly. I always feel awkward as an American tourist who doesn’t know much Italian, but they were so patient as I clumsily bounced between languages. Breakfast was great and the room cleaning was excellent and intuitive. My only suggestion would be a small shelf in the shower for shampoo and soap, but that didn’t damper the experience at all.
Brad
Was a great stay, although the shower head was shockingly broken, made it hard to shower.
Selina
Staff were friendly and helpful. The property was clean and classy.

Christopher
Fantastic location, polite and accommodating staff, clean rooms
Jane
Lovely quiet hotel, perfect stay
Very quiet hotel, room was comfortable and clean, nice bathroom and shower.
My room was on the ground floor and over looked the courtyard which was a lovely place to sit and relax.
Air con worked well and was very welcome!
Breakfast was included and perfectly adequate if you like a continental breakfast. Reception staff very helpful, providing map of Florence and directing to where I wanted to be.
Would come back in an instant!

Clean room, simple, nice people, family run,
STEVEN
Over all the hotel was okay, quiet, clean and basic. Breakfast was very basic, for instance, the cheese was wrapped in plastic and tasteless. Staff were helpful and attentive. Excellent coffee!!
Jeremy
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was included which had things as yogurt, breads, deli meats, juices, coffees, cheese spread. The room was good and the A/C cooled the room instantly. The bed was a bit too firm for me so it was a bit of a hard sleep yet to each their own for that. The courtyard is a great place to relax or visit with others…..it was a neat environment to chill in with all the plants and trees inside.
Pierre
Great staff, well situated
Amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Nice garden to relax in after a long day. 15 min walk to historic centre. AC would stay again.
Neil
1 night in Florence
Clean, great staff, good value for money. 10 minutes walk to Central attractions
Jasmine
A bit of a walk but still walkable around Florence. Please note that they will ask you to pay the city tax fee for the hotel in euros (cash). It is pretty high compared to other places I stayed. Still, lovely place to stay in with air conditioning which was amazing in the summer. Close enough to walk around the city and come back to by foot. There is a park nearby and food options when you walk further. The breakfast is standard and okay with bread, ham, and coffee/juice or tea. Pretty garden area.
Kiara
Wonderful, spacious room which was clean and comfortable. Staff were lovely and breakfast was great. Location was good for walking and catching transport. Highly recommend.

Solo female travel approved
I have been working and traveling in Florence for over a month and my job had placed me at different hotels and this was by far my favorite, especially as a solo female traveler in a foreign country. This is a family run business with the absolute sweetest employees who will help you with everything and are so great to chat with. I felt so safe and cared for. The breakfast is amazing and traditional European / Italian with croissants, cheese, ham, yogurt and fresh fruit. I got a cappuccino every morning before work. The bed and room were very comfortable and had everything you could need and was cleaned DAILY by their amazing staff! I will be recommending this hotel to all of my friends and family because it is about a 15 min walk to the duomo so you can escape the craziness of the city center here and the 31 / 32 / 14 / 6 and c bus lines are right outside the hotel which makes getting places super easy. I took the 31/32 bus to the train station easily for a quick beach day trip.
Kaitlynn
Very clean and beautiful courtyard
David
Very nice accommodations.
The lobby and breakfast area were very charming. The room was clean and comfortable. There was a problem with the air conditioning so we slept with the window open which was fine except for the noise late at night and then again in the morning. The staff apologized for the problem.
Isabel
The staff is very nice and helpful! Our air conditioning unit was turned off whenever we would leave the room, and we had to leave the key at the desk when we left. Other than that it great!
Shu
Close to Florence town center, we walked to every attraction on feet, including my 8 yo.
Front desk and restaurant staff are super nice and friendly, they do require to leave room key at front desk every time you leave hotel though, understandable as their room key is pretty unique with a brass charm.
Parking is also possible with their partnered garage, about 8 min walk away, 2 min drive away, as Florence town center is not welcoming cars. If you arrive by car, highly recommend to check with front desk about their garage for discounted rate

John
2 star rated but 5 star service. Simple rooms, Beds were nice, regular non-touristy neighborhood. staff could not be better. No need to pay for an expensive hotel with the same room.
swee a
Room and bed are small and basic. What was the point of putting your request when my only window was facing a wall next door. Location of the hotel is too far from all tourist attractions. Breakfast can be better, not many choices and not fresh. Staff was not happy when I told him about the the ham turning yellow, not 1 slice, several slices of ham turning yellowed. Staff was not happy when I gave him a rotten orange from their basket. Overall, I will not recommend this hotel to anyone.
jolanda
The staff was excellent. Everything was great
Harri
Super friendly and helpful staff, everyone spoke english although I try to practice my Italian. Very clean room and bed was nice and firm which been great for my back. A/C worked very good, wish american A/C's worked this good and quiet.
Wei
There's no meat or eggs in the breakfast.
Asha
Friendly service, decent breakfast. Good walkable distance from centre of Florence. The room was quite dated, especially the bathroom but served the purpose of a short stay in Florence.

Alfred
Our stay at Hotel Rita Major was great! The staff are so kind and helpful, from bringing our bags up the stairs (there’s no elevator) to calling a taxi for us to take us to the train station, they were there for us every step of the way. Breakfast was also phenomenal, with a nice array of fruit, cereal, and pastries. We loved their coffee and hot chocolate!
Diane
The hotel staff was amazing. Very helpful. The hotel was convenient and clean. The road noise was a little bit noisy, but we got used to it.
Sebastian
A very quiet and safe zone, the staff is really nice and the room is bigger than I expected.
Yuen Wai
Old, staff with no good service
Jose
Excellent service, staff was very cordial and helpful
George
Decent property convenient walkable to most locations. Boise from street as well as other guests was a little more than other places that I’ve stayed previously. Pillows were less than desirable for me but that may be my own preference.
Christopher
It’s a very nice hotel, easy walking to historic parts of Florence. Plus, I had a very good breakfast.
TETYANA
It was inconvenient that they didn’t allow to storage you luggage for a few hours. We took it and had to bring to a railway station to store there for a few hours.
Adam
No AC. No Iron for clothes. No Laundry facilities.
Gustavo
Very nice staff. Nice hotel and great location.
Keith
Family owners property. Everyone was nice, from the ladies from the reception area to the Father and 2 son owners. Breakfast spread was nice. Cappuccino, Cafe Americano and Espresso are great. You will wake up with the smell of freshly baked Cornetto 😄 The room was huge. Comfortable beds, bathroom with toiletries and blow dryer. Please consider the flight of stairs when traveling with huge check in luggage anlthough we were assisted by a lady. Towels and bum towels are changed daily. The area has a good number of Osteria, caffe’s and gelsteria nearby. One of the son’s owner Allan I think even accommodated us for early breakfast since our train to Venezia was a little early. We stayed for 4 nights and it was really lovely. They even requested a cab for us since our esim can only do data calling.
Jon
We spoke to 4-5 different staff during our stay for leaving bags, ideas and places to eat etc and all were very very helpful and made our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was brilliant and we were well looked after. Many thanks for making our few days enjoyable
Stephanie
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Rita Major. The rooms are basic, but the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, the breakfast was great, and we were close to both the train station and a bus stop that took us to the historic centre in 5 minutes.

Guilherme
Lovely place with incredible staff
This hotel is family owned. I don’t remember the names but they were very sweet. The hotel is cutie, the breakfast is simple like home but delicious. Laura is the front desk person at night and we talked a little and she is super cool. The owners took our luggage from the lobby to the room. My background is Brazil and United States and I never got any service like they did for me and my mom. I won’t forget.
Deisy
My family enjoyed staying there for the two nights. The staff who attended us were very helpful and kind. They were always happy to help. The breakfast was very delicious, especially the Cappuccino.
