First of all we were very well received by the hosts, who were very helpful and nice. This gave us a good impression from the beggining. We ended up staying there because the hotel we booked initially was so, so bad, that we had to leave. We chose Hotel Privilege because of the good reviews and now we can confirm... more

As other reviewers have mentioned, this hotel is very close to all the major attractions in Florence and is right along the Arno River. So the view is great, it is close to everything you need, and at the same time nice and peaceful for a good night's sleep. The two hotel hosts couldn't be more wonderful - they are... more

I would like to agree with the majority of the other reviewers on here. This is a nice hotel with extremely helpful owners. They have an excellent command of the English language. They are very proud of their city and being Florentines they are very knowledgeable. We had a three night stay and ate at three of the four recommended... more

This hotel is on the banks of the River Arno about a 5 minute walk from the Piazza S Croze, 5-10 minutes to the Uffizi Gallery and about 15 - 20 minute walk to the Duomo. We were on a biking holiday and they had a separate garage area where we could store our bikes for our two night stay... more

This is one of those hotels that was probably quite grand in its day. That’s not to say that its run down or seeing hard times now, but looking at the décor and furnishings, I think its fair to say that it has become a little dated over the years. That aside, our two day stop at this place was... more

My partner and I stayed for 2 weeks in August 2008 at the Hotel Privilege, located along the Arno in Florence, Italy, having "discovered" the hotel (through comments on TripAdvisor.com) last year, when we stayed for a week. Somewhat east of the main tourist area (the Ponte Vecchio and the Piazza della Signoria), near Santa Croce, the hotel is effectively... more

As an ex- travel agent I am very aware of the importance of research. Trip advisor is a tool I used at my place of work and continue to access for my personal travel arrangements. The Hotel Privilege was one of two hotels i was considering - I know I made the correct choice! It's easy to ascertain the location... more

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed at the hotel and we would live there if we could. The location is fabulous and the owners are extremely helpful, friendly and informative. Very reasonably priced when doing comparisons of many other hotels in this inspirational city. Chris & Faye-Louise more

We stayed at the Hotel Privilege for 3 nights in the middle of July, based on the reviews we had read on Tripadvisor. We were not disappointed and I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Florence. The room was the largest we had in Italy, and we chose the room with two twin beds. They were long and extremely... more
