We had two rooms for family at this hotel. The rooms were small but clean and comfortable and faced onto a cafe precinct area so some noise from the foot traffic but nothing unbearable. It was nice to witness the town coming to life in the evening. Buffet breakfast was excellent, staff were friendly and stay was very enjoyable.

The Machiavelli Palace was a very clean hotel, with a great breakfast, featuring fresh baked Croissants. The service was very good and the rooms were cleaned and refreshed daily. The only problem we had was that the A/C wasn't working and the room was very warm, even for May.

Hotel is only 5 mins walk from main Florence station, even dragging luggage. Very friendly welcome, and we had a room on the 5th floor looking out over Duomo and tiled Florentine roofs from our little balcony. I had sent an e-mail 2 months before stay requesting an upper room facing away from street; never got a reply so not... More

Stayed for 3 days at the Machiavelli Palace in a standard double room. It was very spacious with what I would consider antique furniture and an aged hand painted headboard all of which matched the whole ambience of the hotel which is part of a building which is over 600 years old. The breakfast was typically continental no eggs boiled... More

From the Florence train station, it is an EASY 5 minute walk, even dragging two bags. We went out the door, across the street, 20 yards to the corner, turned left and half a block to the hotel. The room has twin beds with enough room to get a small end table on each side. There is a desk. The... More

This time we booked a 'Superior room', last time we had booked a standard room and had a terrace. This time as the hotel state 'Superior rooms' have... More

We stayed for six nights during our recent trip to Italy. First and foremost the staff was incredible! We loved talking with them; they answered many questions, and gave great recommendations. My husband told them it was our anniversary before we got there and as a result we had a lovely balcony with an incredible view of the Duamo which... More

My family and I stayed for 7 days and had a fabulous time! The hotel is very well situated within two blocks of the train station and within walking distance to an outdoor market and many landmark attractions. The breakfast is absolutely delicious and the wait staff is very friendly and efficient. The rooms are very quaint and very clean.... More

My friend and I stayed at this hotel for two nights (March 2013). We asked for a twin room and were given a double, however this error was totally forgotten when we saw the stunning view toward the Duamo. Really charming hotel, with great friendly staff. It was clean, comfortable and within walkable distance to all the main attractions. Loads... More
