This hotel is wonderful: the rooms and bathrooms are very spacious, staff is friendly and check-in/out times are somewhat flexible.

There is an elevator up to the hotel floor which is very fortunate (you’ll only have to go up a 10-step staircase to get to it, better than most Italian accomodations). Wifi works great, you’ll need it as no cellular signal whatsoever gets through the thick walls and ceiling, therefore the rooms are quiet.

It is also conveniently located on a driveable street, so you can get off a taxi right on its doorstep (or have the receptionist call one for you right to it when leaving), and just a 5-minute walk away from the Uffizi Gallery.

Technically there is breakfast available upon request with a day in advance, but no one seems to ever ask for it. It is also a very limited selection so you’re better off going to one of the nearby coffee shops.

Well the hotel is convenient, close to tourist spot.
The room is hot, they can’t adjust the ac.
The shower room drainage is clogged.
The lady who checked in us, discouraged us not to purchase a breakfast from the hotel. She said there is a lot of restaurant to go.
The first room that we went is not that much spacious, so me and my wife requested a bigger room. The receptionist said, I can transfer you to other room but you need to go to other room early in the morning .

What a wonderful stay at a beautiful property!!
There are a few stairs up to the lift to negotiate with your bags when you arrive, but thats understandable when you are in central Florence and the gentleman on reception very kindly helped us in.
We can't speak highly enough of the welcoming, friendly and informative reception staff, who were keen to give us \"insider\" knowledge on places to visit and eat during our stay. They definately made it feel like a home away from home.
The location is absolutely perfect, with the Duomo and all the major gallories and museums just a few minutes walk away. It was fairly noisy in our room with the windows open, but significantly reduced by the shutters being closed at night and again, you are in central Florence, so it is expected to be a bit noisy as its a bustling, vibrant city.
There is a city tax to pay at the end of the stay, but its only 8Euro per night.
We would definately recommend the hotel, the staff and the location. Our stay in Florence was absolutely perfect and we look forward to going back as soon as we can!

Three flights of stairs to get to the office initially with all our luggage and one flight of stairs once checked in and had key to elevator. Not a property for elderly or those who have difficulty with stairs. No available staff to help with luggage up the stairs. Very very warm room and unable to cool it. Sits on a rather busy street in Florence so could not open a window at night due to noise. Almost unworkably small shower. Much more expensive than an excellent hotel room in Rome,

This is a beautiful property. You walk up one flight of stairs to get to the elevator. It’s a small elevator or you can keep walking up 2 flights of steps to the door. It’s really not a bad walk. Then you get to the door, you will need your key to get into the hotel from outside and in the hotel doorway. This does make you feel very safe considering the hotel is in the center of town. The staff is wonderful and very friendly.

The room is spacious and it does have a small fridge and safe. The bathrooms are gorgeous and the whole room is made of stone and brick. The architecture is beautiful. There is no air conditioning or screens on the doors, but the breeze is phenomenal. We went in March and it was cool at night and warmer during the day.

The check in and check out process was easy. It was simple to get a cab to and from the hotel. The hotel called a cab for us when we left. It was a great stay. Highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, our room with Turkish bathroom was perfect. The hotel location is really central which makes walking to Florence’s attractions so easy. The staff were all so helpful and welcoming. If we had to mention anything that could be improved, it would be the firmness of the beds, but this is personal preference, (a topper would be a perfect solution). This is a minor point though and no way spoilt our stay. We would definitely book again! Thank you

Gorgeous Hotel in the Heart of Florence

My sister and I traveled to several locations throughout Italy and France and the Hotel Renaissance was one of our very favorite hotels that we stayed with. The location is perfect for exploring Florence and the room was large, beautiful, quiet, and comfortable. A great place to come back to after a long day of adventuring.

All around the hotel is all of the main sites in Florence from the Duomo behind the hotel, the Piazza Della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio to the right outside the door of the hotel, and the Galleria dell'Academia just a short walk passed the Duomo. Everything was easily walkable from museums to dining. Florence is a meet up point for a lot of tours into Tuscany as well. We enjoyed our pizza and gelato cooking class tour in Tuscany with the meet up point at the library along the river, which was only a 8 minute walk from the hotel.

The food is fabulous in Florence and your dining choices are plentiful all around the hotel. We even had a cornetto and cafe latte at a Cat Cafe nearby!

Location, Location, Location! We recently stayed at this hotel during our visit to Florence, and the location couldn't have been more perfect! It's within walking distance of all the significant landmarks, and it was incredibly convenient to step out and be immersed in the city's beauty, just 20 steps from the hotel. Each morning, I walk down to the cafe to get coffee and breakfast. This saved us time and money taking taxis.

The staff was outstanding—very responsive and always willing to assist with a smile. Our room was a great size for three people, and we were happy to find the third bed was just as comfortable as the others. The bathroom was modern, featuring a bidet and a shower with multiple settings, which was a nice touch. The AC in the room worked perfectly, which we appreciated during the warmer days.

The room had a charming vintage feel, which added to the overall experience. One thing to keep in mind is that you need to climb one flight of stairs before reaching the elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggage up a bit.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking to be in the heart of Florence with great service and amenities.

It is carved in the ancient “Sacchetti’s Tower”, a noble florentine family rival to De' Medici familiy and mentioned in the sixteenth canto of Paradise of the great poet Dante Alighieri.

The room is fully decorated with original frescoes of the XIV sec , discovered during the renovation of the building and finely restored.

It was listed as a 3 star hotel, but it certainly had the feel of a full 4 star hotel!! The room we stayed in was quite large and the shower/bathroom area was huge!! Our room had a turkish bath (very large shower area with a steam room). I absolutely loved this feature and enjoyed it after a long day of sightseeing! Our room had a lot of embellishments that really contributed to the tuscan feel. It had a painted ceiling above the bed, stone wall accents and a stone desk. It was one of the best hotels we had ever stayed in during both of our tours of italy. I would highly recommended this hotel when you are staying in Florence!!

Awesome hotel in great area!

This was a great hotel stay for my wife and I during our tour of Italy. We had just come from a TINY room in Venice so this felt like a Trump tower suite. The room was very large, modern and comfortable. This room is very centrally located near the Neptune square, Uffize, Duomo etc. Tons of shopping and restaurants within short walking distance. The service was great and a very nice big bathroom which is unusual in Italy. My only small complaint was a lot of noise at night in the street outside. For some reason, a lot of drunk folks walking through pretty late.
