My wife & I & two friends spent four nights at Il Guelfo Bianco earlier this month & thoroughly enjoyed our stay - lovely rooms, friendly helpful staff & excellent choice at breakfast. We also had a light meal in the bistro restaurant, which was very tasty too, with a vegetarian option & a good choice of wines (including organic).... More

Just a few minutes walk from the Duomo and round the corner from the Galleria d'Accademia, Il Guelfo Bianco is perfectly located in the heart of historic Florence! The hotel itself was a very quaint and quirky, a mix of old with the new :) The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with recommending restaurants and making bookings for us.... More

Walking distance from train station and most of the major attractions in Florence. For example, this hotel is one block from the Gallery of Accademia Museum (where David is on display). Located on a non-descript street but the location and hotel environment more then makes up for that. Eclectic hotel with art everywhere, fun/clean room set up, and nice/helpful staff.... More

We enjoyed our stay at Il Guelfo Bianco in Florence. This is a small "artsy" hotel. The décor is mix of old hotel meets modern art, and some of the art you see on the walls is for sale. Our room had an elaborate 'frescoed' ceiling and was very spacious. There was a small sitting room, and also a small... More

Unfortunately, we only had 2 days in one of my favorite cities, but this very nicely kept hotel added to the charm. The bedroom was small, but comfortable, and as I was traveling with a friend the separate beds were appropriate. The hotel had kept many of the historical aspects while upgrading, which was very nice. The breakfast area was... More

Great hotel with a very charming, spacious rooms. I loved the breakfast and Giulia at the front desk was very friendly. It’s just a short walk to the Accadamia Gallery, the Duomo and the Central Market. Highly recommended.

This was my third stay at Il Guelfo Bianco and truth be known the only reason I went to Florence this trip. I have always found the facilities to be exceptional but the secret to the hotel's success is its staff, managed by the wonderful Antonella! Their customer service skills are indeed above average, always so helpful, never to busy... More

The Hotel Il Guelfo Bianco is an excellent choice for Florence. The location is great with easy access to the main train station and most all of the key sights in Florence. The room we had was very spacious - especially for Europe. Staff was very helpful both with securing reservations and with our needs while in Florence. Breakfast was... More

This hotel is within easy walking distance to all the major attractions in Florence but not too close to the Duomo where all the crowds are. It is almost equi-distant between the Accademia and the Central Market. Our room was on the 3rd floor facing the street and yet we had no issues with street traffic or other noise. The... More

My husband and I stayed at Il Guelfo Bianco from May 15 through May 23. This hotel has everything we look for; the location couldn't be better, the hotel was comfortable and spotlessly clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet was exceptional. The main rooms are in the new part of the hotel and seem for... More
