Our aim for this part of our holiday was to find a central hotel, within walking distance of everything. We were not looking for cheap, but a very good hotel - we'd wanted to stay in JK Place but the reviews for that hotel were not very good so decided on this one instead. Upon walking into the hotel, the... more

Great location, small rooms, reasonable breakfast, free WiFi, great rooftop lounge at sister hotel (The Continentale) across the road. Staff not great if something goes wrong, we tried to solve an A/c problem and got nowhere despite 10+ requests including 7 to the manager who finally appeared after 36 hours, still not heard from their head office four days later.... more

We were delighted by our experience at the Gallery Hotel Art, part of the Lugarno Hotel group. Overall, I have the impression this group runs a nice operation. I had called to find out the difference among the hotels and decided to go with the one that had the best special at the time. In this case, 2 nights for... more

The hotel is right in city center of florence, room are as big as can be in the city center of florence, please remind that each square meter here has a different value as in Dubai. This suite has two different terrace overlooking city... more

Love the location of this place and the overall design. However, the hotel probably needs to be better maintained. The beds are not that comfortable and they have the scratchy wool blankets (yikes!!). We asked for a duvet but they said they don't have those for the hotel. Service is quick, efficient but can be a little bit snappy. I... more

We stayed at the Gallery Hotel Art for 6 nights at the end of April. It was in such a wonderful location. The Continental breakfast was one of the best I have ever seen in Europe. The rooms were clean and bright. The beds were comfortable. We walked 5-10 miles everyday (not lazy Americans) and it was nice to come... more

What else can you wish after a day full of history-culture, museums and shopping then to return to your cosy room and relax. This hotel is perfect for it! Just a few steps from the Arno river with the beautiful Ponte Veccio, Uffici, Duomo and all the main shopping areas just around the corner. Great personel is taking care of... more

We stayed for 4 nights at the Hotel Gallery Art in late March 2010 - it is SO stylish, immaculately clean, very quiet and just moments from the Ponte Vecchio. Our room was very comfortable, with all bedding and towels changed daily. The staff were very helpful - breakfast was not included but was available at 12 euros per person... more

Well situated in city centre . Decor stunning with display of dozens of striking photographs. The lounge is a library with a serious selection of (mainly art) books , many in English . Well presented buffet breakfast . Standard rooms luxurious with large screen TV . Our only (minor) gripe was that room had only one (uncomfortable) chair . more
